when organisations outsource their future to consultants they are depriving themselves of their future. The start of any learning curve is steep and characterised by setbacks, obstacles and failures, but that is how we learn best. (That goes for children too.)
A shaper is someone who becomes energised by work.
The way they work provides for the highest expression of self.
They lead deeper and more fulfilling lives because what they do every day serves them and the greater good.

We are approaching such a paradigm shift in the workplace, but we still have a long way to go. Just as white actors playing the roles of black actors and men playing the roles of women seems preposterous today, I believe, in time, we will consider some of our modern-day work practices absurd. This Thursday Thought highlights the need to consider the female menstrual cycle in a paradigmatic shift in work practices.
The legend of Orpheus and Eurydice is a story of love, faith and transformation. It provides a wonderful analogy for letting go of the past and having faith in the future.
To transform we must let go of the way things used to be. Yes, we must respect the old order of things, but then let go.
Flex is a manifesto for living and working on your terms. It means looking at the established, rigid ways of doing things and asking: âIs this really working for me?â If the answer to that question is âNoâ then read on, because this book is for you.
We welcome the author of Flex: Reinventing Work for a Smarter, Happier Life, Annie Auerbach

Barbara Oakley struggled in the past with our learning. But has found techniques to help us master materialâany material. Building on insights from neuroscience and cognitive psychology, she gives us a crash course to improve your ability to learn, whether youâre studying maths, language, coding, karate, cooking, or anything else. Youâll see why the strategies work because youâll see whatâs happening in the brain when you use them. No, this isnât a little book of miracles.
But you will find that reducing frustration and improving your study success may sometimes feel miraculous.
Fear is a construct of the mind, fed by our experiences, upbringing, genes and more. Because fear is subjective, each of us experiences fear in different ways.
Catalysts feel a deep sense of drive toward a better future state. We canât help but see potential change and set it in motion, wherever we are. Weâre energized and weâre driven by it.
We welcome author of Move Fast. Break Shit. Burn Out.: The Catalystâs Guide to Working Well, Shannon Lucas, welcome to the show.
The more painful, longer, more frustrating way is the only way. It takes time, it takes persistence, it takes hard work. When we prime the organisation for change, then the new reality will stick and the gloss will stay in place…temporarily.
