What is homophily and does it make the boat go faster?
In this previously live episode of Speaking About Speaking I speak with Trainer, Coach and Speaker, Adam Armstrong, a former Head Boy of and teacher at the famous Italia Conti Performing Arts School.
His acting credits include The Bill, Grange Hill, and The Minder. And his students have included Russell Brand, Danny Mays, Martine McCutcheon, and Claire goose.
I met Adam a year ago when, alongside fellow acting coach, Peter Ferris, we designed an acting course for stunt trainees which we now run for the British Stunt Register.
Adam also founded his own training company, Herald, in 2009, which offers bespoke presentation training and coaching around personal effectiveness, communication skills, creative thinking and change management.
Also, he’s studied Psychology and NLP, and he's ex-champion runner, completing a mile in very close to 4 minutes!
Before I met Adam, I’d never heard the word homophily or the expression ‘Does it make the boat go faster?’ Now I use both regularly!
