Introducing The Future of Work Studio: A place for curious readers

Like many of you, ‘work’ for me has taken various forms over the course of my life. I’ve had precarious work, no work, working for myself and working for faceless corporates who can’t remember my name.

I’ve spent years working in a sea of grey cubicles.

I’ve seen first-hand how absurd, painful, heartbreaking, and unnecessary much of what we do at work is, having spent 20+ years being tasked with trying to make it better.

After seeing too many employees living lives of quiet desperation, I completed a PhD in 2017 and turned to researching work, the workplace, and the future of work full-time. I have an academic job and I also work closely with industry to understand what is really happening as work and where we do it undergoes huge shifts.

My research on work and the workplace has been featured in the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post. I’ve spoken at TEDx, written for the Harvard Business Review, and am an Agenda Contributor at the World Economic Forum.

My passion is to use my research to help reimagine work so we can lead more meaningful and creative lives.

In my posts there, I’ll cover not only the trends and latest research on everything to do with work and the workplace but also what to do about it. You’ll find evidence-based articles and insights that allow you to make sense of the latest developments and guides to make changes in your work and life.

The Future of Work Studio is a place to stop, take a deep breath, and ask different questions. There are no anxiety-inducing mantras about getting up at 5 am to hustle as hard as you can, clearing out your inbox using rule-directing software programs, or undertaking nightly review sessions at 10 pm to see how many boxes you ticked off the Gantt chart today.

I’ll share more personal insights than in my publicly published articles and would love to see you there.

You can join for free to access some articles. You can support my writing for just $A8 a month ($2 a week) and will have access to all my weekly articles and essays, tips on creating change at work for you, audio, the new Sunday Scroll, live events with me, and the friendly comment section.

Annual subscribers ($A80/year) will also receive a copy of the current issue of Revista - my quarterly magazine with a different theme in each issue on reimagining work and life with activities to help you apply the concepts to your world.
