That was a genuine comment from an RBS employee after I had talked to them about Turning Workplaces into Fanbases. Humour helps land difficult messages when you are making the employees of a bank face the worst headlines the press could throw at them. Making them laugh definitely helps them to be in the right frame of mind to talk about the future.
I am a passionate and light-hearted speaker regularly talking about Leadership, PLM, Turning Workplaces into Fan-bases and The Industrial V The Networked Age. I hope to be speaking about my latest passion; The Human Approach to Innovation & Change, soon – could that be for you?

“Nina has been fantastic – she always made us see the positive and the importance of having those difficult discussions.”
There are a lot of psychological factors that come into play when delivering change; trust, confidence and the most basic but most important; can we work together? Does that chemistry exist between us to deliver what you need? There is only one way to find out.
