From sales & marketing to supply chain & logistics, almost every
business role and function now relies on data, so in this feature Shawn
Callahan explains how to grab the attention of decision-makers and
inspire them to act based on the data.
With the recent focus on innovation by our politicians, Gaia and Andrew
Grant pose the question “Is Australia really an innovation nation?’
International speaker and author Steve Simpson looks into the effect
of culture on customer service and entrepreneur & philanthropist John
Sikkema discussed how to engage your team by leading with purpose.
Gabrielle Dolan has also given her 4 types of stories you need to blitz
your next job interview and Holona Lui looks at why communication
is just the beginning of understanding when it comes to the modern
cross-cultural workplace
While the topic of what constitutes good and effective leadership
continues to be debated, what cannot be ignored is the potential
role neuroscience has to offer in enhancing leadership development
based on the physiology of the brain. Renowned brain fitness expert
Dr Jenny Brockis looks into why brain health and the science of
high performance thinking can boost performance in four key areas;
problem solving and decision making, emotional self-regulation,
working well with others and facilitating change.
We also have some great contributions from a selection of world class
entrepreneurs and experts covering topics from leadership, sales &
marketing, human capital, technology & innovations and much, much
more; giving you the systems and strategies that make you and your
business smarter.
