"What if the secret to great leadership and recruitment isn’t just data and strategy—but storytelling?"
In this thought-provoking episode, Thomas J Elliott (Executive Producer & Creative Director at Casual Films) sits down with Adam Michael Toctan (formerly of MCG Talent) to explore how storytelling transformed his career—from talent advisor to narrative-driven leader.
Adam shares his personal journey of discovering the power of stories—how a shift from transactional recruitment to human-centric storytelling helped him connect with top talent, inspire leaders, and build stronger employer brands. Together, Thomas and Adam discuss:
-
The moment Adam realised storytelling was his superpower in talent advisory
-
Why the best leaders don’t just manage—they tell compelling stories
-
How AI is changing storytelling in recruitment (and why the human touch still wins)
Whether you’re a leader looking to inspire your team, a recruiter aiming to stand out, or just someone fascinated by the future of communication, this conversation will change how you think about influence, connection, and the stories that shape careers.
Tune in for a deep dive into the narratives that define us—and how to craft yours.
