How can a scene from the ballet Swan Lake explain the importance of purpose?
\n
\nHow did Muhammad Ali manage to answer two of life\u2019s biggest questions in his poem, known for being the shortest poem ever written?
\n
\nAnd what really is wisdom?
\n
\nToday I\u2019m speaking with the legend that is Jim Carroll, and we will be talking about discovering the amplified self.
\n
\nAnd why that is so important.
\n
\nJim is a long serving brand and communication strategist and we met when we both worked at the London-based communications agency BBH, where he worked as a planner for 24 years, for a long time ran the strategy function, and was UK Chairman from 2004 to 2015.
\n
\nWe talk about his time at BBH and the many incredible learnings he picked up.
\n
\nWe get an insight to his performance appraisal \u2013 and key learnings for all of us.
\n
\nThen he tells us a story about a man he knew once, that didn\u2019t blink.
\n
\nThere are loads of stories here. And Jim leaves us with some big questions that we should ask ourselves.
\n
\nThis is a must listen. And I promise you, you\u2019ll leave this wanting more.
\n
\nAnd I\u2019m thrilled to say that is possible. You can get your weekly dose of Jim through his blog, Jim Carroll\u2019s blog, which I highly recommend. https://www.jimcarrollsblog.com.
