Career Journey
Career Story
I'm fascinated by humans and human nature. I'm passionate about applying insights from behavioural science to help make organisations work for humans as we really are, not as the economists and management theorists would like us to be.

Career & Personal Growth
My career goal is...
I want to help organisations solve their people problems. So many of the challenges and opportunities facing every organisation come down to changing human behaviour. But so many of the traditional ways of addressing these issues in organisations just don't work. Dense policies, mindless eLearnings, vapid shared values, pointless engagement surveys, irrelevant leadership training, and an almost mystical faith in technology for its own sake. These things don't work because they fundamentally misunderstand human nature. I help organisations practically apply insights from a range of academic disciplines - Anthropology, Behavioural Economics, Neuroscience, Psychology, and Sociology - to better understand and influence human behaviour. I want to work with innovative organisations, on a project basis or in fractional roles. Depending on the organisation and their context that could be in HR, Compliance, or Transformation roles, or embedded in any part of the organisation that has humans.
