Two Excellent Racconteurs for the price of One
A pleasure to listen to Bob and Jeremy, who clearly know each other inside out - not only as friends, but also as professionals and as performers. They play off each other seamlessly, and I can imagine that they are great as trainers, doing their thing.

Recipe for a successful meeting
A great listen to an informal informative conflab. Highly recommend, what’s my recipe for a successful meeting ..... (1) agenda circulated before hand (manage expectations up front) with plenty of time at the start and end of agenda for informal chat (2) summary after each agenda item as to what was discussed / agreed / actions & timelines (3) keep meeting to time but allow all to contribute and feel valued (4) meeting concluded with everyone thanked for their contributions and for attending the meeting.
