ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This episode is all about how you can get ahead. By learning to play, and win the games that we all know are there, but nobody talks about.
Tim meets Will Storr - an award-winning British author, investigative journalist, and narrative researcher, who’s an expert in two key things: Status and Storytelling.
They discuss the ways we can recognise and leverage status to get where we want at work, and even beyond that in our personal and everyday lives.
Maybe you’ve not thought about either in your career - but Will’s here to explain why they make up the fundamentals of how we interact with everyone around us.
Tim and Will discuss:
- The role of status at work
- The importance of adding value
- How leaders share status for the benefit of a company
- Why Will disagrees with ‘bringing your whole self’ to work
- How to use storytelling to increase your value and enjoyment at work
- The problem with victim mentality
- Why anyone going through a struggle is a hero
