Nigel owns up to our acronym habit, then I go through what LEADER stands for, from a monkey thank you card to £10 for owning up.

Episode 090: Like A BOSS??
Everyone in lockdown was telling people to do things like a boss, so I worked out what I think B.O.S.S. really stands for.
Episode 089: This Episode is C.R.A.P.
Someone at an event told me my blog numbers were crap, so I grabbed a flip chart and agreed with them, one letter at a time.
Episode 086: One L of an Episode
The last letter of Nigel’s REAL model is L, for leadership, and he reckons it starts with leading yourself before anyone else.
Episode 085: Keeping It R.E.A.L.
Nigel’s REAL idea only got as far as three letters, plus a form where he’d spelt his own surname wrong.
Like a boss? Not in my world
I used to want to be the boss. Then I worked out what bosses actually do to people, partly because I’d been on the receiving end.
Episode 083: The Last One About the CHAMPION Model
The last letters of Nigel’s CHAMPION model, O and N, plus fifty challah rolls at half price because he had the nerve to ask.
Why I stopped wearing a suit on stage
Years as a suit and tie guy, then jeans on the big stages, and one weekend in travel clothes. Dressing as yourself is a choice.
“You’re just like you are on stage”
People keep telling me I’m just like I am on stage. Why that surprises them, and the one rule I keep about what I say in public.
Episode 082: Sponsored by the Letters P and I
Nigel finally finishes perseverance and gets onto integrity, but first he pins me down on what my book is going to be called.
Episode 078: The One Where Nigel Is Late
Nigel’s spent a year and a half giving me grief about being late, so this week, at home in lockdown, guess who was late.
Episode 077: The One That Wasn’t Supposed To Happen
We lost a week’s recordings in the cloud, so Nigel and I made this one on a Sunday, about choice management and staying fresh for customers.
