Lead with Levity

Ep.39. An Interview with the Original Levity Enthusiast

Also available on iheartradio, iTunesGoogle, and other major podcast outlets.

I don’t know a better way to end the 2020 lineup than interviewing someone who is a self-proclaimed levity evangelist. This should be good! Today’s guest is Philip Argy, CEO of Argy Star, and a member of the Law Council of Australia. That’s right. We’re going to talk about levity in law, and I want to know if lawyers are allowed to practice levity.

In this episode, we cover:

  • What’s the climate in Australia right now?
  • What you can do to get prickly people to lighten up?
  • How Argy practices levity in the courtroom
  • Silly Zoom moments
  • How Argy uses levity to maintain his own vitality and positive spirit
  • An insider’s perspective–Are lawyers allowed to have fun at work? What does that look like?
Also available on iheartradio, iTunesGoogle, and other major podcast outlets.

Unfortunately our computer has not yet learned Strine and did not do justice to Philip’s words of levity-leavened wisdom, so relax and listen to the podcast!


About Philip Argy

Philip Argy, B COM, LL B, FACS, FIAMA, MAICD, ADV M LEADR, is the CEO of Argy Star and a member of the Law Council of Australia.

“Our focus is always on salvaging and delivering as much as possible of the original business case when the day to day participants in your implementation team have long since forgotten what they were. More usually, we intercept at their incipient stage any developments that could move your project off course in time or budget terms and nip them in the bud, thus saving you time money and minimising the risk that your business case will be delivered late or not at all. These are the basics of the ADRoIT Principles.”
