Chris Murphy has risen through the echelons of the advertising industry. From his beginnings in Hull, UK, to working at global agencies such as Grey London and Saatchi &amp; Saatchi, Chris now lives in Sydney, Australia. He has served as General Manager at The Hallway and is currently Head of Creative and Design at G Squared, working on campaigns for some of the world’s most recognisable brands. Not bad for someone who struggled at school, is dyslexic, and was once told by a teacher that he wouldn’t amount to much. Chris joined the Shifting Views with Willis podcast to talk openly about how dyslexia has shaped his life and career. Rather than seeing it as a barrier, he explains how he learned to harness dyslexic thinking as a strength and a competitive advantage. Being neurodivergent has helped him spot patterns, approach problems differently, and see solutions others often miss. In this episode, Chris discusses: The challenges he faced in education and early life. His rapid rise through the advertising world before the age of 30. How dyslexia and neurodivergent thinking influenced his leadership and creative work. Why owning your difference matters more than hiding it. Chris also shares the thinking behind his Ignite Talk, “Success is a System”, where he introduces his End State Planning framework. It’s a practical way of breaking big ambitions into clear, achievable steps, especially when navigating personal or professional barriers. If you’re neurodivergent, whether that’s dyslexia, ADHD, autism or other traits, this conversation challenges the idea that you need to “fix” how you think.

AI is reshaping the legal world, but what does that really mean for law firms, lawyers, and clients? In this episode of Shifting Views with Willis, I'm joined by Sam Thompson, a Lawyer and Partner at Gosschalks Solicitors in Hull, East Yorkshire, to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming the legal profession. From automating everyday legal processes to changing how lawyers train, think and deliver value. We discuss: How AI is automating legal tasks and freeing lawyers to focus on strategy, empathy and judgement. Why law firms must evolve to stay competitive in an AI-driven world. The ethical and regulatory challenges around AI-generated legal advice. How clients are already using AI for contracts and legal documents, and what risks that brings. The importance of training the next generation of lawyers to use AI effectively. Why AI won’t replace lawyers, but those who use it will replace those who don’t. Sam offers a candid view from inside one of the UK’s most respected regional law firms, reflecting on how traditional professions like law must adapt their culture, processes and people to stay relevant.
