  1. The 3-Part Method to Hold the Attention of a Room, with Gary Barlow

    The 3-Part Method to Hold the Attention of a Room, with Gary Barlow

    This episode is all about something we don’t talk about enough in high performance, not just how we deliver, but how we’re remembered.  When I sat down with Gary Barlow, he talked me through something he calls the Show Graph, a way of shaping emotion and energy through a performance. It’s not about perfection. It’s about creating moments that connect, and leaving people with something that lasts.  And what struck me most? This habit, refined over decades on stage, isn’t just for concerts. It’s something we can all use, whether you’re leading a meeting, giving a talk, launching a product, or just trying to get through to people in a meaningful way.  In this episode, we explore: Why people remember moments, not timelinesHow to open with impact, and close with meaningThe emotional architecture behind unforgettable experiencesLessons from the world’s toughest rooms, northern working men’s clubsWhat leaders, teachers and performers can borrow from a world-class show Whether you’re leading a room, launching an idea, or giving a talk that matters, this conversation is a guide to crafting moments that last long after the lights go down. If you’ve ever wanted to communicate in a way that lands, this one’s for you.  Listen to the full episode with Gary Barlow: https://pod.fo/e/17fc0b Here is more information on the studies referenced:  When More Pain Is Preferred to Less: Adding a Better End (Daniel Kahneman, Barbara Fredrickson, Charles Schreiber, Donald Redelmeier 1993) Broaden-and-Build Theory of Positive Emotions (Barbara Fredrickson 1998) Hosted on Acast.

  2. Gary Barlow, singer-songwriter

    Gary Barlow, singer-songwriter

    Gary Barlow, musician and Take That lead singer, has written more than a dozen chart-topping songs, and has received six Ivor Novello awards including the award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music. Born in Cheshire in 1971, his interest in music was sparked at an early age by a child’s keyboard. At the age of 10, he saw Depeche Mode on Top of the Pops, prompting the desire to take to the stage himself. He wrote A Million Love Songs, which later became a Top 10 hit for Take That, in his bedroom when he was 15. By this time he was a regular performer in a Labour club just across the Welsh border, where he cut his teeth playing the organ and singing. By the time he was 18, he was so good at writing songs that he successfully auditioned for a place in the group which became Take That. They went on to be one of the most successful bands of all time, winning a devoted audience with tracks such as Back For Good, Everything Changes and Pray. When they broke up in early 1996, helplines were set up to assuage their fans’ feelings of loss and grief. In 2005, Take That reformed, with Robbie Williams rejoining them for a spell in 2010, and – in some form or other – the band has kept going and will tour again in 2019. Gary was put in charge of organising the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee concert and performed at the closing ceremony for the London Olympics in 2012. He was a judge on the X-Factor for three series and his talent show, Let It Shine, was broadcast on BBC One in 2017. Earlier this year he published a second autobiography.

But despite all this, as we’ve come to learn, he’s one of the nicest, most genuine people going around. In this episode, Gary shares his experience of rising to such fame, and what happens when he lost it.
