Busting the Myth that Working Harder Leads to Success
Sure, you could just work harder. In fact, for many years, that was the right factor for success. But if you think that will work for you today, you’re out of luck. Nick Leighton takes us on a speaking journey from being hijacked in Pakistan, to having tea with Royalty in England. With keen observations of how society and agency life have changed due to COVID-19 and sincere understanding of different generations (sorry Millennials, maybe you were right), Nick shows us what is new, so PR agency leaders can make a rapid change today for a better future tomorrow. You’re welcome.
