Despite living in Australia for his entire life, my dad speaks with a Polish accent. But that’s not all that’s different about him since he suffered a stroke in 2009… 

Martin Imber always considered himself a logical, “right-brained” person - he was a computer programmer, after all. But since his stroke, he believes he’s become more empathetic, more compassionate. 

Martin shares what he’s learned about life, love, family and himself since his stroke, as well as the lessons he learned from his own parents, who survived the holocaust.

You know those annoyingly successful people who seem to have it all figured out? Time to steal their playbook. Organisational psychologist Dr Amantha Imber gets world‑class achievers to spill their secrets&nbsp;- the daily strategies behind their success through to&nbsp;life hacks and productivity hacks they&rsquo;d rather keep to themselves. We&rsquo;re talking practical tips for boosting your output (including clever AI tools and shortcuts that&rsquo;ll make you look like a genius), managing overwhelm without losing your mind, and optimising both work and wellbeing.

Have you ever wondered if the worlds leading entrepreneurs, writers, musicians and business people construct their day differently to you?

How I Work

What if you turned into a different person overnight? Interviewing my dad, Martin Imber

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/d70e7674-6216-4116-b0cf-b07901862eef/transcript

In a portfolio career, requests have a funny way of multiplying. A speaking gig here, a board invite there, a coffee catch-up that sounds valuable but drains you for days. The answer to all of them is technically "yes" right up until the moment it isn't. 

Katie is 18 months into consulting and a portfolio career, and she came to me with a problem a lot of people share: she's getting busier, she cares deeply about protecting time for values-driven work, and saying no is a muscle she's still building. 

This episode is part of The Work Edit, a format on How I Work where I sit down with someone facing a real professional challenge and we work through it together live. 

We cover my yes triage framework, the no club concept, the to-don't list, the never again list, and a simple rule called the next Tuesday test. 

Katie and I discuss:
The yes triage: three questions to run every request through before deciding, and why you need a "hell yes" to at least two of them 
Why saying yes out of flattery or guilt is so common, and how to catch yourself doing it 
The no club: how a small group of trusted colleagues can give you the objective perspective you can't give yourself 
The to-don't list and how to use it monthly to protect your energy from the things you already know drain you 
The never again list for the spectacularly bad decisions you keep forgetting you made 
Why a slow no is not polite and why a fast no within 24 hours is almost always the kinder move 
The next Tuesday test: how to reality-check a far-off commitment by imagining it was happening this week 

Key quotes 

"A slow no is actually unkind because the other person is just waiting and probably following up when they could already be finding someone who'll say yes." 

"What all these strategies do is reduce cognitive load. There's no longer a decision to make. There's just a rule to follow."

The Work Edit: Struggling to say no? The method I use that makes every decision easier

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/d73a071d-4921-42e2-96a9-b4650024934f/transcript

**Join the AI Agent Bootcamp here: https://www.inventium.ai/learnvirtually-agents** 

You have access to AI. You probably use it a fair bit. And yet there's a good chance you're still manually scrubbing through meeting transcripts, tabbing between LinkedIn and Google News before every sales call, and spending 20 minutes writing an executive summary for a paper you just finished writing. 

That gap between having AI and actually letting it take things off your plate is where a lot of time quietly disappears.  

In this How I AI episode, Neo and I walk through eight tasks that knowledge workers should never have to do manually again, and what it actually looks like to hand them off to agents. 

How I AI is a special series within How I Work where Neo and I explore how high performers are using AI at work to boost productivity, make better decisions and reduce overwhelm. 

What you'll learn in this episde: 
Which meeting-related tasks are the easiest to hand off to an agent 
How to build a pre-meeting briefing agent for sales and business development 
Why editing and proofreading agents need very specific instructions to protect your voice 
Where inbox agents are most useful, and what they can and can't do for you 
How to think about agents when comparing options before a purchase decision 
Practical AI tools for productivity and focus 
Real-world AI workflows used by high performers 
How to use AI at work without burning out 
Smart shortcuts for managing time and mental load

How I AI: 8 tasks you should never do manually again

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/535a5aae-d7c0-48bb-a974-b44b0041f673/transcript

Most professionals are terrible at talking about themselves. Not because they lack substance, but because no one ever taught them that being interesting is a skill, and that skill can be learned. 

Maz Farrelly has spent decades on the other side of that problem. As the executive producer behind Big Brother, The X Factor, and Celebrity Apprentice, she has auditioned over 20,000 people, had her content watched more than eight billion times, and once broke Twitter deliberately. In this episode, I sit down with Maz to unpack what the TV industry understands about attention that most professionals never learn, and how to bring that same thinking into the way you pitch yourself and show up in any room. 

Maz and I discuss: 
Why you have about 10 seconds to earn someone's attention, and what TV producers do with that window that most professionals don't 
The one word missing from almost every professional pitch ("so that") 
Why adapting your introduction for every room you walk into isn't being fake — it's understanding your audience 
How to share your credentials and achievements without sounding like you're bragging 
The case Maz makes against performed humility on LinkedIn, and better alternatives that actually build trust 
Why Maz banned email entirely on Dancing with the Stars UK, replaced it with two 10-minute standing meetings a day, and had only four phone calls across 100 shows 
What Gogglebox taught Maz about the power of doing the exact opposite of what everyone else in your industry is doing 

Key quotes 

"If you can help people, you need to show off. Because I need to be able to buy you, and I can't buy you if I don't know you exist." 

"The first line's job is to make me read the second. It's so obvious, and hardly anyone does it."

Key quotes&nbsp;
"If you can help people, you need to show off. Because I need to be able to buy you, and I can't buy you if I don't know you exist."&nbsp;
"The first line's job is to make me read the second. It's so obvious, and hardly anyone does it."&nbsp;
