How we talk about work

How we talk about work

I’m pleased to announce that my book, ‘How we talk about work’, is now available on Amazon. It is the product of 3 years of research with 85 participants across 6 continents - and over 200 illustrations to bring their words to life.

Since 2019, ‘creative makers’ around the world have been telling me what they think about work; the designers, developers, creatives and strategists who conceive of and build the digital products, services and experiences that we rely on today. Before, during and at the close of the pandemic, we spoke about what made them want to work with organisations and what would make them leave, how they felt about work and what they wanted for their future.

This book is an easy and engaging way for employers to get up close to real opinions, hopefully inspiring them to think of their talent as more than just resources. It is also for creative makers who are struggling to feel heard and are looking for inspiration from their peers. It can help everyone to think about how to improve employee experiences as we prepare for a future of doing creative and innovative work with great people.

Thank you so much to all the people who have given generously of their time and their thoughts to benefit our global community of doers. I’m forever grateful that they have chosen to support their global colleagues by helping them to think about how work could be better for all of us.
