I couldn’t help noticing…

Reflections on themes that emerged time and again — regardless of seniority, role, gender or organisation.

Over almost 30 years of consulting, I’ve interviewed many hundreds of people about their experience of work — what they do and why, what helps, what frustrates them, what they enjoy most and what they think could work better.

These reflections are drawn from the themes that kept surfacing. They’re not intended as definitive answers. They’re the things I think are worth noticing, questioning and talking about.
