This week we discuss the TalkDrawer talk, "Sum of the Parts" inspired by the phenomenal book The Wisdom of Crowds. This is a personal fav book of mine, kinda Gladwellian in nature. Oh, there's a few quick tech challenges, but you'll be fine :)

Aka the Get Shit Done episode.

Based on the fantastic article by Dilbert Author, Scott Adams.

Talk: Favourable outcomes. Today we discuss the classic of negotiation books, all the way back from the 80's -  Getting to yes! It's a great week talk and a really great book. I hope you enjoy it.

This talk is inspired by Mark Manson's mega-hit. It's more sel-helpy than our usual fare, but well worth delivering.

A few weeks back we discussed Radical Candor. It's great, but it's one thing telling people to deliver this way, the reality is that they need some better tools too. That's where this talk comes in. Enjoy :) https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Conversations-Talking-Stakes-Second/dp/1469266822 https://www.vitalsmarts.com/crucial-conversations-training/

Donald Miller's fantastic, Building a Story Brand is a fantastic book about how brands can use narrative and story to get their message across. Our talk covers three of the core principles behind it.

This week we discuss the latest talk we uploaded to http://TalkDrawer.com, it's inspired by the fantastic book Radical Candor by Kim Scott which you can (should) get here: https://www.radicalcandor.com/ Who needs to deliver this talk? Leaders that want/need to share some tough love in order to grow their teams. The first time trying this format - we'll get better :)

So the podcast is evolving, and I'm excited. We're going to be a business book show of sorts. Each book based on a talk we have at TalkDrawer. I'd love your feedback. First ep goes live on Monday - we'll get better, promise :)
