The Squid of Despair
Unscripted musings on business life, leadership, creativity, transformation and all the myriad of other work-life events that get in the way of a good night's sleep. The Squid of Despair is a conceptual summation of what can go wrong, and often does, with mind-mapping or other creative techniques. Born out of an idea for a book back in 2010, David and Peter have now made this mythical beast rise once again, phoenix like (from under the ocean waves, so a bit soggy probably), to explore all matters relating to 'business life, leadership, creativity, transformation and all the myriad of other work-life events that get in the way of a good night’s sleep' in the form of an unusual podcast

Looking at the five syndrome types:
1. The perfectionist
2. The natural genius
3. The rugged individualist
4. The expert
5. The superhero
Peter and DAS explore some techniques that might help overcome the impact of imposter syndrome
