There are a few landmark moments in the life and journey of every business, and we’ve just experienced one of those at Remarkable Practice. I'm proud to welcome Douglas Aitken as a fellow shareholder and director of the business and, because of that landmark moment, it feels appropriate that we bring Douglas onto the humanisethenumbers.online podcast so that you have the opportunity to hear about some of the deep insights that he is acquiring by working with firms and leadership teams just like yours.

This podcast provides a framework for Douglas and me to chew the fat and unpack some joint insights which have had a profound impact on us, and which we think could do the same for you, enabling us all to transform the numbers that matter so that we can enjoy and feel pride in our work and achieve greater profit and capital value growth.

So if you are up for listening to Douglas and me having a little bit of conflict, uncovering and unpacking a few insights on how to build deeper, stronger connections with your team so that they stay with you and enable you to earn the right to recruit more high-quality people and more high-value clients, then this 60-minute podcast will be time well spent.

Go to www.humanisethenumbers.online or to your favourite podcast platform to listen in. Everything we do is about sharing knowledge, building that knowledge into skill and developing the skill into the habits that ultimately help you transform your results. I think you'll find this podcast of great interest and practical value, as it includes a discussion around some very simple core questioning and listening skills.

I hope you find this as interesting as I did. Enjoy the podcast.
