Derek Bruce on the importance of storytelling at work, and sneakers in life
If we want to be successful at work in the future, we all need to learn how to tell good stories, says Derek Bruce. He is an HR and talent-development senior, who has been working all over the world with market leading global organizations in the Fashion, Financial Services, Media, Retail and Technology industries. At this moment, he works for Signify as a Director of Leadership Development, as an independent learning and development consultant, ánd he manages the Extraordinary Mentors Network, a mentorship program which provides People of Colour with Mentors.
Derek met Roanne in the beautiful Amsterdam SOHO house to share his views on work and leadership of the future. In the episode, we talk about:
- Why we all need to become storytellers in order to be successful at work
- How writing can help you to communicate better to your colleagues (and boss!)
- Why sometimes, the best thing you can do for your company, is refuse that job
- Why the best leaders, are selfless leaders…
- And the boss-like, very green, very cool shoes that he is wearing. Obviously.
Roanne mentions the book ‘Weapons of Math Destruction’, by Cathy O’Neil: https://www.amazon.com/Weapons-Math-Destruction-Increases-Inequality/dp/0553418815
