77 Liam Toms – Star Wars v Trek Emotional Pull - Communication and Presentation Skills

Overview

A fun and very thought-provoking conversation between a Star Wars nerd and Captain Kirk fan!

Liam Tom is a media and communications consultant who knows about the need for emotional engagement – so we go deep on all things ‘emotion’ in the two space classics.

Fun yes – but also highly relevant to us as business owners. Delving into the emotional ingredients of sets and soundtracks and the characters – human and metal - how we connect and care about them. Authenticity and vulnerability – it’s all here, wrapped around with story and nerdiness.
