the art of explanation

by ros atkins

‘Dazzling’

‘Lucid and detailed’

Do you worry about holding people’s attention in presentations?

Are you concerned about getting all your points across in an interview?

Most leaders I support want to improve their effectiveness in communication. Ros Atkins has generously produced this book to share his hard earned wisdom with us all. He takes the most complex situations and explains them to us all in the media in a clear and compelling way. You’ll recognise his from BBC’s viral explainer videos or maybe he’s DJ’s for you in Ibiza. Either way, it’s a joy of a read.

Who is it for? Well, for anyone who may ever want to present to people in whatever format, make a pitch, give a stella performance at interview, or hold a roomful of kids at essembly.

WELCOME TO WREXHAM

This incredible ‘Sport docuseries’, follows Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney as they run the third-oldest professional football team in the world, Wrexham AFC.

It promises to, once again, show the good fortunes of the club and the town thanks to investment, confidence, and incredible storytelling.

I lived in Wrexham for 3 years as a teenager and was a frequent visitor to the ‘Turf Pub’, conveniently located next door to my Yale VI Form College. If the prior series are anything to go by, it will focus on real people with genuine passion. A great story in real life.

Enjoy wherever you can stream. BackToBackToBack

WHAT DID YOU DO YESTERDAY?

Genius!

Max Rushen and David O’Doherty don’t take this too seriously. It’s a delightful and mundane concept that involves talking to a celebrity about their previous day. It’s genuinely charming and has unexpected discoveries along the way. I love O-Doherty (and his tiny keyboard) and could listen much much more than the optimal 40 minutes podcast length time that this production gives us. I hope you enjoy. Check out Ellis James’s chat first maybe.
