The Great Speech Podcast with Kolarele Sonaike

How does a leader communicate effectively? This is the question I explore with my guest this week, David McQueen.
David has had an incredibly varied background. He's been an accountant, a counsellor, a stand up comic, a public speaker and an executive coach. He has delivered training for a wide range of companies, including the BBC, Bloomberg, Google, HSBC, Deliveroo, Sky, Uber and others.
In this episode, David shares his thoughts on things like what he didn't like about Steve Jobs' leadership style, what a story bank is and why you need one, and why he plans to increase the number of people of colour who get to speak from the stage.
Great interview. Enjoy!
