5 Powerful Quotes
[10:18] ‘... it’s about never being sucked in to all of that corporate jargon, you know, never setting yourself off as a little bit different because you work for the railway. And therefore, the people that you’re communicating to need to start using your language, always remembering that you need to use the language of the people you’re communicating to.’
[27:01] ‘It’s about helping them to shape the messaging they're going to use, which is obviously that’s a huge part of my job. And just getting them to think about what answers they can give what the questions might be.’
[29:07] ‘Because when you’re a journalist, you feel on equal level with anybody, you know, you’re prepared to ask questions of anybody, whether it be, you know, the person at the top of an organization or, you know, so-called at the bottom of the organization...’
[35:38] ‘... it’s better to do a few things well than loads and loads and loads of things not particularly very well at all.’
[36:06] ‘... [prioritization] about knowing what's important to persevere with and what you need to be flexible about.’
