Welcome To The Christmas Issue!
2020 is nearly over, so let's have a positive look forward to 2021 and what's been getting our attention here at Like Minds this week. From talks to incredible charitable donations and more.
We've just completed Episode 22 of BBTV with Rob Kerr. If you're interested in starting a new business or "side hustle" as Gary V would have it then take 15mins and watch his advice here.
We'll be back on Jan 6th with our old friend, author, speaker, and elevator, Minter Dial who will be talking about "How Being Yourself Makes You A Better Leader."
In the meantime enjoy the below, have a great Christmas (as much as we're allowed!) and I look forward to engaging with you in the new year!

How Being Yourself Makes You A Better Leader.
The underlying question is how to be your imperfect self and drive long-term success?
Coinciding with the launch of his newest book, You Lead, How Being Yourself Makes You A Better Leader (Kogan Page), Minter Dial delivers a refreshingly different message on how to become a successful leader for the future. Based on his real-life experiences and observations while working as and with CEOs around the world, You Lead is a different kind of leadership book, filled with personal accounts, a simple framework, and practical tips.
In his talk, combining his experience as a top executive at L'Oreal and as a groupie for a hippie rock'n'roll band, Minter will lay out what’s changed and why we all need to radically change our way of leading. He'll deliver the five keys needed for leaders to survive and thrive in the new environment.
After the talk, he'll be keen to exchange and dive into questions on such topics as how to bring ethics and politics into work? How to be vulnerable, fair, and firm? Just how much imperfection can we bring into the workplace?
