In this episode of Digital Transformation & Leadership Danny Levy talks to Julian Mather who has seen the world through many lenses. Through a telescopic sight as an army sniper. Through the TV lens as a globe-trotting cameraman for ABCTV, National Geographic and BBC. And through smoke and mirrors as a professional magician. He's traveled far but his longest journeys have been from behind the camera to in front of it. From stutterer to professional speaker. Now a video magician, he turns busy bosses into trusted leaders. He inspires you to unleash your inner video star and - like magic - be in two places at once, cut meeting times in half, vanish emails and volia!... more time to be the great leader you want to be. In this episode Julian shares his leadership lessons learned from his time as an army sniper, a globe-trotting cameraman and a magician, why video shyness isn't a life sentence and how to overcome it, and why the world's most effective yet inexpensive sales and marketing tool is the smartphone you already own.
