We believe business needs a ‘New P&L’: one that is focused as much on ‘Principles and Leadership’ as it is on ‘Profit and Loss’, because we know that if your Principles are right and aligned with your purpose, and your Leadership has clarity of vision and is strong, focused and empathetic, then your business will be in profit and not in loss in so many ways.

Each week on The New P&L podcast, we interview a diverse range of entrepreneurs, business leaders and social impact investors on their views and opinions on the importance of Principles and Leadership in business, discussing how we can all work towards building more ethical, productive, collaborative and ultimately, successful and principled businesses - ones that encourage great, inspirational leaders and motivated teams.

Today on The New P&L Business Book Review Club, sponsored by The Carroll Consultancy Group, we speak to leading business psychologist Nathalie Nahai on her brilliant new book, Business Unusual: Values, Uncertainty and the Psychology of Brand Resilience.

Nathalie is a speaker, author and consultant, whose work explores persuasive technology, ethics, and the psychology behind evolving consumer behaviours. With clients including Google, Unilever and Accenture, she teaches companies how to ethically apply behavioural science to enhance their online presence, communications and customer experience. We discuss with Nathalie:

· the challenges of creating a more cohesive culture and building a sense of attachment and purpose with a more ‘atomised’ workforce

· the responsibility employees have to act on and drive a brand’s commitment to be more socially and environmentally active

· issues of trust in business

· how we should we measure a company’s principles, values and trustworthiness be measured in a post-pandemic world

· how you find authenticity in a business that has built many layers over time

· the well of resilience we have built through the pandemic and how to use it now

· the responsibilities the tech giants have to business, society and government in return for their privileged position

· whether algorithms are diminishing our natural curiosity

· the pursuit of happiness and eudemonic cultures at work

· the characteristics of future leaders

This week on The New P&L we break down and analyse our conversation with the brilliant Ari Galper, the world’s number one expert on trust-based selling. The Deep Discussion with Ari was 50 minutes of real, considered wisdom when it comes to the sales process, and many of his points and his processes we were fascinated by and agreed with. But it all ultimately comes down to building genuine trust with those you are selling to. In this The New P&L TO THE POINT we discuss: · reinstalling trust and integrity at the heart of the sales process · why we need integrity as a buyer as well as the seller · self-righteousness and double standards in the sales process · asking for respect in the sales process and offering it in return · what could we do better as buyers

The New P&L TO THE POINT on Being a Better Buyer

This week’s guest on The New P&L – Principles & Leadership in Business podcast series is incredible Ari Galper. Ari is the world’s #1 Authority on Trust-Based Selling and is the author of “Unlock The Sales Game” & “The One Call Sale”. He is now the most sought-after trust-based selling authority for advisors, consultants, business owners and entrepreneurs — as well as major corporations such as Citibank, Telstra and General Electric. 

As trust becomes the most important currency in the new economy, the act of selling as a dehumanising experience, with endless “chasing” and multiple steps, has been completely re-invented and anchored in the values of integrity and trust through Trust-Based Selling. In his best-selling book, "Unlock The Sales Game", Ari describes his revolutionary sales approach based on getting to the truth and why having a mindset of focusing on deep trust, transforms the sales process. We discuss with Ari: 

· How to practice trust-based selling with a buyer who lacks integrity

· The role of vulnerability in trust-based selling

· How the dynamics of the traditional power imbalance in the sales process is changed by adopting a new sales framework

· Why you lose the sale at the beginning not the end

· Curiosity as an attribute for sales teams

· Our internal narrative and impostor syndrome

· Setting expectations from the outset of the sales process

· What constitutes principled leadership when it comes leading sales teams

This week on The New P&L TO THE POINT, we have a small departure from the usual format where we break down and analyse the weekly The New P&L deep discussions and use this week’s episode to let all listeners know about something The New P&L is launching in just under six weeks’ time – our monthly MANTRAMind programme, which officially launches on 1st November.

Like a traditional MasterMind programme, the essence of the MANTRAMind programme is focused on accountability, inspiration and knowledge acquisition. Like a MasterMind group, it will be an opportunity for like-minded business leaders, managers, employees and entrepreneurs from around the world to come together in small, focused groups facilitated by The New P&L host, Paul Spiers, once a month for a couple of hours with the ultimate aim of personal and professional growth.

However, with the MANTRAMind programme, each month, the ‘MANTRAMinders’ will also dig deep into the topics from the previous 3-4 episodes of The New P&L TO THE POINT, to understand and discuss how each 'MANTRAMinder' can apply one or some of these key business insights in their business over the following month, giving the group discussion real focus and additional value. 

Each MANTRAMind group will have a maximum of 3-4 participants and will run for approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours once a month.  All those who join as Foundation Members will also receive five free VIP tickets to our virtual The New P&L Summit in 2022, the details of which we will be announcing before the end of 2021.

To learn more about becoming a MANTRAMinder including format, availability and subscription/fees, please email Paul Spiers at paul@amplifiergroup.com or paul@principlesandleadership.com or connect via Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulspiers/ and send a direct message.

Welcome to this week's The New P&L TO THE POINT - a podcast series where, in around 10 minutes each week, we break down the key elements of our weekly The New P&L conversations with industry leaders and entrepreneurs.  We offer an opinion on the key points from the conversations and how our listeners may practically apply them in their businesses.

This week on The New P&L TO THE POINT, we’re extracting and expanding on one of the discussion points from our conversation with Marianne Moore, Founder, Managing Director and Chair of Justice Studio. As a social enterprise in the social justice sector, Marianne is a passionate advocate for the role of purpose as a firm foundation for all organisations and business and it is this – the role of purpose in business, that host, Paul discusses in this episode. He considers:

· Why purpose feels ‘fluffy’, intangible and confusing for some business leaders

· Why this invariably comes down to the same thing - understanding how to define what purpose is in a business and where it needs to sit within the building blocks that form the form the framework of the business

· What happens when businesses lose their original purpose and founding principles

· When the pursuit of profit quietly supersedes the primacy of purpose

· How robust clarity of purpose underpins the growth of a business

· Purpose as the beating heart of a business

· Delivering brand purpose, on purpose – with attention and intention

The New P&L TO THE POINT on When We Feel Invisible in Business

In this month’s episode of The New P&L Business Book Review Club, sponsored by The Carroll Consultancy we speak to phenomenal Jamie Mustard - strategic multi-media consultant, artist, design and product futurist, and author of The Iconist: The Art and Science of Standing Out.

In the Iconist, Jamie has codified the primal laws of what causes anything, in any medium, to STAND OUT and take hold in the human mind. His passion is to teach the science and art of obviousness, helping professionals, change agents, artists, leaders and businesses confidently and at will make their messages and ideas STAND OUT to their desired audiences. We discuss with Jamie:

- the background story the writing of The Iconist and the principles that underpin it

- the primal rules are that form its foundation

- his focus on the Economics of Attention and patterns of Iconic communication

- whether ‘continuous partial attention’ will enhance or enable innovation

- where principled leadership comes from in an Iconist world

- how an aspiring Iconist finds the balance when trying to more convey a message that doesn’t easily fit into ‘radical simplicity’

- what happens when the volume of Inconist Blocks become the noise they are designed to cut through

- why it is ‘limited options’ that foster emotional positivity, connection, engagement and action

- the most important principle Jamie wants readers of The Iconist to take away from reading his book

Today on The New P&L TO THE POINT we discuss:

· How Greg demonstrated his philosophy in practice from right from the start of the conversation

· The role of empathetic connection in business

· The two core principles of human-led business transformation

· Anchoring your digital transformation project on principles of humanity and empathy

The New P&L TO THE POINT on Humanity at the Heart of Business Transformation

Welcome to this week's The New P&L TO THE POINT. The New P&L TO THE POINT is a weekly podcast series where, in around 10 minutes each week, we break down the key elements of our weekly The New P&L conversations with industry leaders and entrepreneurs.

This week on The New P&L we make a slight shift on the usual format for The New P&L to the point and discuss a reoccurring theme that has underpinned many of the conversations we have had over recent weeks with our guests - that theme is Persistence. The persistence we need as business people and as entrepreneurs. We discuss:

· Why you need purpose and persistence

· ‘Persistence beats resistance’

· Why the persistence that drives the passion is greater than the resistance that pushes back against it

· Why the Rocks of Resistance on the path to success are both external and internal

· The narratives we tell ourselves and the beliefs they reinforce

· The contradictions in our creativity and passion

· Why there is no neutral internal narrative

· Giving yourself the gift of gratitude

· the need for leaders, managers, employees and entrepreneurs to ensure they are Being Intentional about the Aspirational

· the challenge of delivering mission statements and straplines in practice

· why context and experience means we all interpret corporate statements differently

·  the delicate balance between the ‘rigidity’ needed to ensure clarity of definition, purpose, vision and the flexibility needed to encourage understanding of, and commitment to the framework that underpins the message

· why it is the responsibility of the brand to first ensure that aspiration is collectively understood

· identifying the practical, intentional ways to deliver brand aspiration

· why some brands and leaders confuse guiding lights and signals with milestones

The New P&L TO THE POINT on Being Intentional about the Aspirational

This week on The New P&L Principles & Leadership in Business podcast series speaks to Franziska Dolak, Global Head of Digital Applications, Data-driven Services & Automation for Siemens Smart Infrastructure in Zug, Switzerland. Together with her team, Franziska researches and develops new digital innovations from a holistic and human-centric perspective. We discuss with Franziska:

- How the principles that underpin Siemen’s strapline ‘Ingenuity for Life’ play out in practise in their business

- On the basis of what data and which humans is human-centred design centred? How Siemens ensures that its future innovations don’t fundamentally reinforce some of the inherent biases that already exist in society

- Whether the intellectual awareness of the role technology plays in shaping the way society acts, reacts and interacts and how we go about our lives, is sometimes lost in the technology race for ‘smarter’ cities

- If we rely too much on data to drive innovation at the expense of human intuition in our modern approach to innovation

- Whether much of the ‘highly disruptive technological innovation’ today is more evolutionary than revolutionary

- If big technology companies like Siemens are designing for the future or actually defining the future – in other words, reacting to need or creating demand

The New P&L TO THE POINT on embracing collaboration for the collective good

In this month’s episode of The New P&L Business Book Review Club, sponsored by The Carroll Consultancy we speak to Sarah Kay, author of Brand New World: Define the Role of Your Brand to Create a Bold Future, global brand advisor and former Head of Global Brand Innovation for Nike.  

Sarah believes that brands exist to benefit humanity, not the other way around so we need to make brands work harder for us. She specialize in futures thinking, and often partners with CEOs and CMOs to help them define the role of their brand in creating a bold future for humanity and the planet. We discussed: 

· Whether purpose can be retrofitted back into an organisation

· How you encourage some leaders to effectively work against what seems to be their own best interests in the short to medium term when they are rewarded on the basis of short to medium term performance

· If consumers have abdicated their personal responsibility for social and environmental issues to brands

· The barriers enterprise leaders highlighted when it came to implementing creative thinking in businesses

· The leadership that is needed at the top of industry to ensure actions are taken for the collective good

· Where the line is between symbolism, pragmatism and true authenticity when brands claim to act in the public interest

The New P&L on Why a Scarcity Mindset is Our Greatest Entrepreneurial Foe

This week on The New P&L – Principles & Leadership Podcast Series we speak to the brilliant Greg Merrill, Senior Director, Digital Transformation at Nike. Greg has built his expertise at the epicentre of strategy, technology, innovation, and sport. He is passionate about the power of diverse and empowered teams leveraging modern technology and data in innovative ways to fuel exponential growth and competitive advantage.

With initiatives spanning from Product Creation to Planning & Supply Chain to the front-end Consumer & Marketplace Experiences he has a wide purview and influence across the enterprise. We discuss with Greg:

· His definition of digital transformation

· Whether the phrase Digital Transformation is over-hyped and a bit like ‘Emperor’s new clothes’

· The type of corporate culture needed for digital transformation

· How you cultivate the right mindset in a business that is resistant to the scale of change needed to digitally transform

· Whether some CEOs and senior leaders naively believe strong technological innovation solves all problems, when in fact technology has no agency in itself

· If digital transformation projects start from a place of fear or opportunity and how that affects Digital Transformation strategy and the implementation

· How you measure the value creation of digital transformation over time

· The signs that a digital transformation programme is failing

· How a digital transformation team retains the freedom and independence needed to deliver the project while also ensuring they are still connected enough to retain widespread buy-in for it
