In this episode we dive into what makes moments memorable and how to engineer these moments.
This idea comes from the excellent book The Power of Moments by the Heath brothers. If you haven’t read it, we highly recommend it. It makes for a good audiobook too.
The concept is captured by the EPIC framework - you can get the notes here: https://culturescience.substack.com/p/episode-13-what-makes-a-moment-memorable

This one is a bit of an experiment. I spoke to an employee at Linklaters, the ‘Magic Circle’ law firm headquartered in London about what the culture is really like.
To enable the interviewee to be frank, they are totally de-identified and their voice is AI-generated. I want to stress that the contents are only the view of one person. It is not a definite statement on what it’s like to work at Linklaters. Nonetheless, I hope it provides a point of view that is not out there and proves interesting to some of you.
If you like this format and would like to hear about more companies, let us know. We have a few people who are interested in coming on from other organisations.
Also, if you would like to reveal what your company’s culture is really like, get in touch. We promise total anonymity. You can reach us via Substack and our email is on there too - https://culturescience.substack.com/p/the-truth-about-linklaters-culture.
