In this episode Pats talks about how as a strategist, it's not enough to be right, you need to bring people on the journey with you, and how the best strategists have generosity as an inherent operating system. She describes how storytelling is a superpower in creating memorability, especially those stories that have an evolutionary advantage. There are also insights into the risks inherent in the polarisation of the marketing industry, and the importance of psychological safety amongst planning teams.
