Why filament?

The name comes from the Latin noun 

filamentum meaning a thread that's spun.

 

When we make a positive connection,

we stimulate the part of the brain

that triggers curiosity, exploration,

a desire for the new.

 

We literally light up & our energy changes. 

 

As a brand, business, leader or team

don't miss out on creating this energy

to improve your effectiveness.

Communication is merely

an exchange of information

but connection is an

exchange of our humanity

Exploring leadership

What is 'enlightened' leadership?

Why is leadership a social contract?

 

And why should we think small to lead more effectively?

From opposite sides of the world, and offering their own perspectives on contemporary leadership, Murray and his sister Julia Streets (CEO and Founder of Streets Consulting) explore what it takes to lead in periods of significant change.

Having worked closely with Murray for over four years at dentsu,

his ability to rally and build an engaged team at pace is second to none. 

 

His leadership is human first and he creates a space of psychological safety, candour, loyalty and directness. People happily follow, adapt and trust him and his instincts even through uncertainty.

 

He brings a laser focus on client and partner experience,

and adds enormous value to a leadership team or project.
