How to be a CEO: David Shelley
Life Lessons from a top CEO. David Shelley is Group CEO of Hachette UK, the second largest British book publishing group. He's held that position since 2018, and will soon also add the CEO role for the company’s United States’ division, Hachette Book Group, to his roster. He will move to New York to take up the role in January. This conversation is all about what it takes to become and remain a top CEO, and the impact holding a position like that has on someone. In this episode, recorded live at the FutureBook Conference 2023, David talks about:
* How the 'CEO archetype' has evolved
* Imposter syndrome and fear, and how scary situations become easier the more you expose yourself to them
* What an 'omnivert' is, and how to find the necessary balance between connection and solitude
* Being willing to take on bruising feedback and adapt accordingly
* How being a CEO does mean people treat you 'differently', and how to remain grounded
* How to identify what will make the most impact at work, and the vital importance of saying no
* How to make your diary work for you
* The art of retaining perspective and putting passion before ambition

Dr Rangan Chatterjee - physician and host of the 'Feel Better, live More' podcast - explains how the boom in podcasts reflects this need for connection. He also explains what other life-changing benefits he has experienced from podcasting - from mindfulness to focus and connection

Harness The Power Of Lucid Dreaming For Psychological Growth: Charlie Morley
We spend a third of our lives asleep - so why not use some of that time to learn, heal from past traumas and grow psychologically and even physically? Charlie Morley is a teacher of lucid dreaming, which is where you are asleep and in a dream, but you know that you are dreaming and can start to consciously direct your dream at will. It's a practice that has been used for thousands of years by Buddhists, mystics and shamans - and science has now caught up, proving the undoubted power lucid dreaming can provide.
Charlie has been lucid dreaming for over twenty years and was authorised to teach within the Kagyu School of Tibetan Buddhism in 2008. He is also a multiple best-selling author and teacher of shadow integration. In this episode we discuss:
* what's going on in the brain during a lucid dream
* how science has caught up and proven its efficacy - including in terms of physical benefits for athletes
* what the psychological benefits can be - from dealing with traumas to addictions and phobias
* working with your 'shadow' (parts of your unconscious mind normally out of reach in the waking state)
* what to do when you are in a lucid dream for maximum benefit
* the key practices to start lucid dreaming tonight
