EP239: SUCCESS = IQ x EQ x FQ with Faris Aranki - Walk the Talk London

What if success wasn’t just about intelligence or hard work, but a precise formula? In this episode of The Jens Heitland Show - Human Innovation, Faris Aranki, London, shares his unique equation for success: IQ x EQ x FQ.


Breaking Down the Formula for Success

Faris introduces three essential elements for achieving meaningful success:

  • IQ (Intelligence Quotient): Great ideas are the foundation. But generating ideas alone isn’t enough. The key is to test, refine, and execute them effectively.
  • EQ (Emotional Intelligence): No success happens in isolation. The ability to engage, inspire, and lead others is crucial for turning ideas into reality.
  • FQ (Focus Quotient): Perhaps the most underestimated factor. Focus is what separates those who start from those who finish. Cutting through distractions and staying committed to goals is a make-or-break skill.

From Theory to Action: Walking the Talk

So how do we go from understanding this formula to applying it? Faris emphasizes:

  • Getting ideas out of your head. Too often, people overthink instead of sharing and testing their ideas.
  • Building self-awareness. Emotional intelligence starts with knowing your impact on others and adapting when needed.
  • Developing focus like a muscle. Small, consistent habits; like setting daily goals or having an accountability partner; help sharpen focus over time.


Applying the Success Formula in Teams and Organizations

Beyond individual success, Faris highlights how teams can integrate IQ, EQ, and FQ to drive results. He shares real-world examples, including how he helped a company simplify 150 strategic projects through gamification. By turning their priorities into a competitive card game, the team was able to let go of unnecessary tasks and refocus on what truly mattered.

He also discusses how high-performing teams can unintentionally create friction within organizations. His solution? Encourage cross-team collaboration, increase transparency, and ensure successful teams actively support others rather than unintentionally creating silos.

Your First Steps Toward Success

Success doesn’t happen overnight, and it doesn’t happen alone. The key takeaway? Start moving. Whether it’s a simple conversation with your team, setting a small focus goal, or actively improving how you interact with others; every step counts.

Ready to start walking the talk? Listen to the full episode now.

EP238: Amplify your Whisper with Professional Guitarist and Keynote Concert Speaker Jim Perona

Amplify Your Whisper – A Conversation with Jim Perona on Resilience, Music, and Innovation

In this episode of The Jens Heitland Show - Human Innovation, we explore an extraordinary journey of reinvention and adaptation with professional guitarist and keynote concert speaker Jim Perona.

Jim's career as a classical guitarist was soaring when an unexpected diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) threatened to change everything. Instead of stepping away from his passion, he embraced the challenge and found a way to innovate his performance style. Today, he combines storytelling and music in "keynote concerts," a powerful new format that merges inspiration with artistry.

Key Takeaways from this Episode:

  1. Turning Challenges into Innovation  When Jim began experiencing loss of motor function in his hands, it seemed like an impossible obstacle for a guitarist. Instead of giving up, he trained himself to play without looking at his instrument, pushing the boundaries of skill and adaptation.
  2. The Power of Amplifying Your Whisper  Jim shares how listening to that small, persistent inner voice led him to breakthrough moments in his life. Whether in music or business, finding and amplifying your unique voice is the key to success.
  3. How Keynote Concerts Redefine Performance  Traditional keynotes focus on words; concerts focus on music. Jim blends both, using the power of live music to create unforgettable emotional connections with audiences.
  4. Lessons for Leaders & Innovators  Business leaders often overlook the lessons hidden in music. From Beethoven's controversial use of woodwinds to the improvisation of jazz musicians, there is much to learn about adapting to change, taking creative risks, and leading with emotion.
  5. Music as a Bridge to Human Connection  In an age dominated by AI and digital tools, Jim’s journey proves that human creativity and emotional connection cannot be automated. His performances serve as a reminder of the irreplaceable power of live experiences.

Jim’s story is not just about music it’s about resilience, reinvention, and redefining possibilities. If you’ve ever faced a challenge that made you question your path, this episode will inspire you to innovate, adapt, and keep moving forward.

With a background spanning filmmaking, cabaret, video games, and theater, Frances shares her unique journey from the U.S. to France, culminating in the founding of her own company, Eat the Cake Studio.


Frances dives deep into the concept of immersive experiences—how they go beyond mere engagement to create profound emotional and intellectual connections. She explains the core principles behind designing these experiences: putting participants at the heart of the design process, leveraging multisensory elements, incorporating storytelling, and integrating interactive components such as actors to bring the experience to life.


One standout example discussed is a Versailles-inspired team-building event where participants embody historical figures, investigate a real-life scandal, and interact with actors in an immersive chateau setting. Frances emphasizes how immersive experiences like these can forge deeper bonds, transform team dynamics, and inspire creativity in unexpected ways.

We also reflect on our shared experiences at the College of Extraordinary Experiences, where immersive design fosters collaboration, connection, and innovation. Frances shares practical tips for businesses to infuse their team-building and events with immersive elements—starting with identifying a clear purpose, embracing themes, and creating meaningful, human-centered interactions.

EP 234: Empowering Runners in Africa - The Braveheart Story

In episode 234 of the Jens Heitland Show, titled "Empowering Runners in Africa - The Braveheart Story," we're introduced to an inspiring narrative featuring Alistair Davidson, the founder of Braveheart Coaching. This episode is not merely a chronicle of Alistair's personal journey into running but unfolds as a significant mission aimed at empowering and transforming lives in the African running community. Alistair's extensive background, as former CFO roles at the IKEA Group and Tetra Pak, provides a unique lens through which he views and approaches the world of athletics and philanthropy.

A Late Start with Lasting Impact

Alistair's venture into the world of running was sparked at the age of 50, driven by a dual motive: to challenge himself and to support a cause deeply meaningful to him. He embarked on this journey by participating in the London Marathon, a decision motivated by a personal connection to children battling leukemia. Despite facing physical challenges post-marathon, this experience marked the beginning of Alistair's enduring commitment to running, not just for health but as a medium for change.

Beyond Personal Achievement

The narrative takes a compelling turn as Alistair explores the vibrant running community in Iten, Kenya, known as the "Home of Champions." This eye-opening experience in Iten, coupled with the stark realities faced by local athletes during the COVID-19 pandemic, ignited Alistair’s resolve to leverage running as a tool for broader societal empowerment.

The Genesis of Braveheart Coaching

Motivated by the struggles and potential of Kenyan runners, Alistair established Braveheart Coaching. This initiative transcends the conventional boundaries of athletic coaching, focusing on comprehensive support and finances for runners. Through projects like Braveheart Runners, Akili Heart, and Nezima Heart, Braveheart Coaching is dedicated to nurturing talent and providing a foundation for sustainable success and community upliftment.

EP 232: Walk the Talk London - Innovating with Visual Storytelling - A Chat with Natalia Talkowska

This episode, featuring the incredibly talented Natalia Talkowska, delves into the innovative realms of visual storytelling and strategic impact in businesses. Natalia, the founder of Nautauka Design, shares her journey of transforming a unique skillset into a thriving business venture.

From Idea to Innovation

Natalia's story is a testament to innovation and creativity. Her biggest innovative leap was starting a business that no one thought could be a business – combining her skills in listening, drawing, and instant clarity. Nautauka Design, now 13 years strong, focuses on creating transformative experiences for clients by visualizing their ideas, values, marketing strategies, and more.

The Essence of Visual Storytelling

Natalia's approach is about more than just drawing; it's about visualizing stories that have strategic impacts on organizations. She delves into how she began this journey, starting with no formal education in illustration or business but driven by sheer curiosity and a passion for drawing and human stories.

Impactful Mentorship

A pivotal moment in Natalia's path was meeting a mentor who recognized her talent and guided her. This mentorship not only kicked off her career but also instilled a belief in her abilities and the importance of visual storytelling in driving change.

Bringing Strategies to Life

Natalia highlights the power of visualization in bringing strategies to life. She speaks about the importance of alignment and clarity in team settings, especially in large-scale projects like revamping London Bridge Station. Her work showcases how visual experiences can accelerate project delivery and create a shared vision.

Daily Innovation and Strategy Visualization

For those looking to innovate daily, Natalia advises starting with simple sketches and doodles to visualize ideas and strategies. This approach helps in making abstract concepts tangible and understandable, especially in complex business environments.

The Human Element in Innovation

Natalia emphasizes the human aspect of innovation – the power of connection, storytelling, and making others feel seen. Whether it's through large-scale projects or simple acts of kindness, her mission is to ensure that everyone feels their voice and story matter.

EP 226: Redefining Spaces and Minds: The Creative Synergy of Visual Storytelling with Natalia and George

In this episode I am joined by two incredible visionaries from the world of design and visual storytelling.

First up, we have Natalia Talkowska, the award-winning founder of Natalka Design. As a six-time TEDx Speaker and global strategic communications specialist, Natalia is reimagining the ways businesses captivate and compel. With the groundbreaking Doodleledo movement under her belt, she has revolutionized team building and empowered non-artists across 25 countries. Her clientele spans the British Government, the Royal Family, and top-tier FTSE100 brands. With over a decade in the industry, Natalia has made waves as a Creative and Art Director, Visual Innovator, and a distinguished guest lecturer at Central Saint Martins and Imperial College.

Joining Natalia is the incomparable George Berlin, an award-winning director known for his unparalleled aesthetic. George's projects are a testament to his knack for storytelling on a grand scale. From painting love stories on Sydney's facades to bringing Frida Kahlo's passion to life on the world's largest permanent digital display, his work is both enthralling and captivating. He has showcased his expertise on some of the world's most prestigious stages, from Romania's iMapp Bucharest Winners League of Projection Mapping to wowing audiences at BLINK Cincinnati, America's largest light festival. 

We delve deep into the world of visual storytelling with the talented Natalia and George. While Natalia's doodles engage minds visually, translating abstract information into tangible visuals, George's work transforms spaces, urging people to engage uniquely and innovatively. Together, they emphasize the essence of creativity, not just in what we see but in the entire process leading up to it. Both experts stress the importance of strategic innovation and the power of visuals in changing perceptions. Join us as we uncover the profound impact of visuals on human behavior, the importance of strategic questioning, and how everyone, at their core, is innately creative.
