I take cultural moments, news stories and everyday experiences and join the dots back to the workplace, the things we've stopped questioning, and what they're really telling us.
Substack: where I take the thinking deeper than a post can go. Essays on work, systems, and what we've stopped noticing. Subscribe to follow along.
LinkedIn: shorter takes, quick observations, and the occasional dot connected in real time.
Poetry: a decade of poems on work, power, and being human.
For Thrive Global, I wrote "Are we afraid of using the word love at work?"
Some of these poems have found their way into people's lives. Love at Work was written to capture how the word shows up, or doesn't, in our working lives. A client I was working with that day liked it so much she asked me to read it to the whole function, in the room and online, then took it home to her husband. Others have been read at weddings.
“who will listen to me says the voice inside
isn’t there a place i can go and hide
stay safe and warm, nice and neat
away from any potential heat
wake up you wimp another cries
are you going to listen to those lies
you were born to be at the same table
time to light up and enable.
enable your voice to speak your truth
breathe it in as you wear your new suit
for the time is now dear friends as we gather
let’s make this a moment that really does matter. ”
Words to move you
