#35: In Conversation with Michael Bungay Stanier, Author of Do More Great Work




The Conversation Hub show

Summary: Do more great work!  It seems like an easy task, but at times it can be challenging, especially with all of the distraction and the "must-do" and "have to-do" items on our lists. Enter Michael Bungay Stanier - our guest for episode #35. I think the words of David Allen (the GTD guy!) say it very well: "Michael Bungay Stanier has an ability to shake our tree and make us more conscious and responsible ... and the best part – he makes it easy and fun!" It was a honor and privilege to be in conversation with Michael.  I hope you enjoy it! You can follow Michael on Twitter at @BoxofCrayons.  I also recommend you check out some of the inspirational movies he's created.  You can view them here!
