the host butts in to often for my liking. Just as Rory is about to drop something insightful the host interjects in with his own anecdotes. He reminds me of David Brent from the office. No need and annoying to say the least!
Notes to myself... "VARIANCE REDUCTION" | Exceptionally low variance: clean bathrooms, same prices, risk of downside is very low. Engineers call this precision. Another gem... "Avoidance of social embarrassment actually reduces people's propensity (to take risks) ....." "plausible deniability" allows for risk taking.
Would it be less "cruel" to just email the manager and blindside the employee who hasn't done what they were supposed to? It also puts the manager on notice that they need to allow the employee the time to complete the training. Lots of times managers downplay the importance of training, or just place a priority on "real" work to the employee's detriment. This gives the employee permission and also motivates them to complete the task.
Who is the numpty in the white shirt? Jeez, if I had an ego problem like this I’d see a doctor. Let the man (Rory) speak. I.e. SHUT UP. and get off the stage. And stop staring. Blurrrggghh.
The thing Rory doesn't take into account with the Eurostar thing is the wider economic benefit to a society of infrastructure investment - increasing employment levels, fostering innovation, increasing the tax take, and so on. You don't get that by paying supermodels, unfortunately
I can listen to Rory all day every day. I love his ideas and the way he presents it. Doesn’t hurt having a cool accent.
I love how Rory looks so shocked that the other guy got the book name right

Seriously!!!
Agreed. Hosts should use their ears more often than their mouth.
Butts in way too much, needs to shut up and let Rory do his magic. We came to hear Rory not the host
Annoying
Glad I wasn't the only one that noticed. I completely agree!
I love City Airport, I wish I could fly everywhere from there.

The host’s example for enforcing employee compliance sounds more cruel than creative.
Totally agree, was kinda shocked hearing the host say that.
Results speak for themselves though

Complete ****s trick. I wouldn’t want to work in a place like that
More notes... check out the book by Robert Cialdini, called "Persuasion".
Cut the crap. Moist paper!!! One of the most hilarious brains in Advertising/Marketing.

The saffer dude is sending me round the bend... Bore off mate! Get back to your HR department and stop interrupting a fantastic mind.
Oh god... I'm 22 minutes in now and this dude is a full-blown snooze fest 😂
Are you allowed within 500 yards of a school?

True. But I do find his approach useful to the individual who feels otherwise powerless to motivate more systemic change.
