  • Summary

  • Sticking the needle into accepted workplace practices.

    There's lot wrong that goes on in the workplace today and Colin, Paul and Ben aren't afraid to point it out - in fact, they delight in it. What they like even more is debunking myths, slaughtering sacred cows, challenging assumptions and generally giving 'recieved wisdom' the skewering it truly deserves.
    It's all about making the workplace better, more human and a place for thriving, not just surviving. Drawing upon their extensive experience and broad knowledge, they also offer examples of how to do it better, what more progressive approaches and more modern practices look like and what alternatives there are to the 'same old same old'.
    It's time to take on the Status Quo and bring in a new wave!

Or could there be good reasons why your staff are underperforming? We give you our usual orginal and irreverent perspectives, drawing upon our own experiences as managers, consultants and coaches.
