Having a conversation with someone who’s literally written the book on conversations should be daunting, shouldn’t it?
Bill Ash’s professional experience is nothing short of impressive, from globetrotting corporate lawyer to highly respected counsellor/coach and now author of “Redesigning Conversations - A Guide to Communicating Effectively in the Family, Workplace and Society.”
But what’s truly impressive is Bill’s own mood contagion - one of generosity, observation and insight.
In this episode of Friends in Law, Bill Ash shares some of his own work and life experience, his thoughts on leadership and seniority and navigating personal and professional relationships.
He chalks it all up to “taking notice”.
“When I look back on my career, the important things have been the relationships I’ve had in that career - you know I’ve done this, that and the other projects but it’s the relationships (that are important).”
“I’ve been very lucky with the leaders I’ve had, they’ve probably never been to a leadership course in their life but they’re fabulous leaders because they’re human, experienced and relational.”
“I just encourage everyone to make those requests .. senior people love to be asked.”
