"I get jazzed about bridging the empirical with the practical - finding the perfect blend of scientific evidence and pragmatism to help leaders and organisations cultivate meaning in work and everyday life. I also strongly believe that workplace relationships are at the heart of everything; if we connect more meaningfully with each other, we will do better work together."
