That meaningful work is essential for best performance - and it isn’t built through mission statements or engagement programs—it’s sparked by a playful mindset of curiosity, connection, and serious fun.

When people reconnect with the feeling of why their work matters, everything shifts: energy, performance, creativity, culture. This is a skill we can learn and master.

Not ping-pong tables. Not dress-up Friday. Serious fun is deeper and intrinsic to the work we do: It’s a mindset of playful exploration, spark-following, courage, and connection.

It’s not the reward for great work—it’s the skill that creates it.

They walk away with both: a mindset shift AND practical tools to put into action straight away. Every talk includes a simple, usable framework, real-world examples, real-science (sometimes played out in live science experiments on stage) and best-practice immediate action steps people can take to make work feel more energising, meaningful, and alive

While my fun jobs story is part of what makes this work relatable, my work is grounded in 20 years of global consulting, academic research, and a research degree in meaningful work.

I developed a practical, research-backed model of what we need to make work feel meaningful. I call it “bubbles of meaning” (you can read more about it here)

The model isn’t theoretical—it’s something teams can actually use to reflect, spot gaps, and take action. And when we layer it with the mindset of serious fun—curiosity, courage, and playfulness—it becomes a powerful tool for real, lasting cultural change.

All of the above. I regularly speak to senior leadership teams, company-wide events, and culture-focused conferences.

Whether things are stuck and heavy—or already good but ready to evolve—this talk meets your audience where they are and sparks a serious shift.

100%. Every talk is customised to your audience, goals, and context. We’ll do a briefing beforehand to make sure it lands with maximum relevance and impact.

Most keynotes run 45–60 minutes plus Q&A. But it’s flexible.

I also offer shorter “Spark Series” talks for conferences—or deeper workshop-style sessions when you want to embed change.

Yes. I run half- and full-day workshops that go deeper into the themes of meaning, fun, and team culture.

These sessions are highly interactive and lead to real shifts in behaviour, energy, and performance.

Absolutely. I’ve delivered high-impact virtual keynotes and workshops to audiences around the world. We keep it lively, interactive, and impactful—adapted for the screen.

They’ll leave lighter, clearer, and more energised—with a fresh sense of meaning, a renewed spark, and the tools to lead and collaborate with more purpose and joy. You’ll see immediate and lasting impact.

Yes—lots! You can find a few on this page, and I’m happy to share more.

The consistent feedback?

“This was exactly what we needed—fun, deep, and lasting.”

“This changed how we feel about work.”
