Founder
CurrentI have a vision for the future of work. Fortunately, it's shared, and already successful at dynamic companies throughout the world. In many ways, that vision is rooted in the understanding that a system that produces a winner and a loser – a more powerful and a less powerful – is unavoidably destructive to any relational dynamic. And the employer-employee dynamic is absolutely relational. So to regenerate alignment, engagement and motivation in the workplace, we have to be able to shift. The authoritarian, rigidly hierarchical workplace becomes the symbiotic, autonomous, meaning-driven workplace. Those that can adapt, inevitably will thrive – the best workers giving their best effort and accessing all of their creative innovation will naturally propel any organization forward.Because this requires forging a new path, and there aren’t a lot of defined models to follow, it is quite a difficult transition. And it will be tempting to go back to the way things used to be when there are inevitable stumbles along the way. So I leveraged my strengths in system design, HCD, facilitation, IT, research, and a deep knowing of how to unify people around a common purpose, and created ThriveLab with my friend Brett to help in that adaptation – we’ve got the map, and know the steps to take that will help organizations get there faster and with less mistakes.I help create workplaces where humanity can thrive, and where the innate power of thriving communities naturally fuels the organization’s effectiveness in their purpose.
