Pip’s Practical Prompts Newsletter

Storytelling
No BS
Authenticity goes a long way when telling stories effectively.
Don’t try to fool your audience with imaginary scenarios — they can see it from a mile off.
You’ve lived an interesting life. You don't need to fabricate anything.
Strategy
Trivial projects
A company needs a quantum computer and a whiteboard. Only a few understand quantum computers, but they all know whiteboards. So, they debate which whiteboard to choose and run out of time to discuss the computer.
Don’t neglect critical projects for simple ones.
Leadership
Successful leadership
A successful leader is one who helps others grow.
One of the few newsletters I look forward to.
