Georgie Smith is an expert in getting things done in the public sector, is the Founder of Upsides Training and the author of the book, The Formula for Impact, the young public servant’s guide to doing well while doing good. In this juicy and fun conversation, Georgie and I share our respective experiences in the public sector and how influencing decisions and getting things done can be done, without losing heart. Listen in to hear: The importance of effective communication and influence in the public sector The incredible power of storytelling in communication and influence why it takes so long to influence conversations, decisions, and change in the government and public sector. How to remove friction and providing compelling stories and evidence to convince decision-makers. The most important traits a public servant can have – being present, humility and curiousity This is an awesome conversation for any public servant who is tired, frustrated and wondering if they can really make an impact. It’s also an incredibly powerful conversation for anyone on the ‘outside’ of the public sector, wondering how to be heard.
