About the Book.
What’s that you say? Big bright smiling faces don’t scream “work” to you?
Agreed. And I think we should change that.
So much about the working world is patently ridiculous. It’s not normal to be too busy to eat. It’s not normal to look at email before you look at the partner lying next to you every morning. It’s not normal to choose being high performing over happy. And it’s definitely not normal to wish away the workweek (Gotta get to Friday!) when really we’re wishing away 5/7ths of our lives.
I don’t like it. Perhaps you don’t either?
About the Author.
I am a senior advisor to the transformation consultancy SYPartners and was previously the CEO of NOBL Collective.
I’ve partnered with executives at Pfizer, Microsoft, Calvin Klein, Atlassian, Hilton, and Alphabet, among many others, on transformation, culture, leadership, and new ways of working. I have an MS in learning and organizational change from Northwestern University and a BA from the University of Pennsylvania.
Before consulting, I founded an innovation department, conducted body language research at a dating app company, and taught high school math and physics.
When I’m stressed, my motto is “most things, most days,” and sometimes that even means ending my day in bed eating takeout queso and watching reality TV. But most days, I’m healthy. Most days, I’m happy. Most days, I have a really, really good time at work.
