If your worth isn't your talent, your title, or your output… then what is it?This week on Work Club, we're stripping it all back—the stuff that's replaced Jesus in our lives, the ways we tie our identity to our performance, and the pressure we put on ourselves to be enough.We're talking about what's left when you lose everything you leaned on.About why real self-worth isn't earned.And about how God calls us valuable—not because of what we do, but because of who He is.This isn't a quick fix. It's a lifelong journey.But it's where real freedom starts. It's not easy. But it's real.

We all cope—but not all coping brings healing.In this episode of Work Club, we're getting brutally honest about the stuff we run to when life hits hard. Because let's be real: you can't walk in freedom if you're avoiding the very thing that needs healing.So we're going there—into the blackhole.The numb-out habits. The distractions. The survival strategies that feel good in the moment... but keep us stuck.We're talking about what it looks like to actually face pain—with Jesus, with Scripture, and with people who won't let you hide.Inside this episode: What Ephesians 4 says about getting truly free How to tell if your coping is healing or hurting you And why breakthrough sometimes starts with two questions: How am I feeling? What do I need?This isn't just about mental health. It's about spiritual maturity. It's about identity. It's about letting God into the mess—not just after you've cleaned it up.This is Episode 7 of Work Club.And yeah, we're still in process—but we're done pretending we're not.Don't forget to subscribe so you never miss an episode!=============================⏰ Timecodes ⏰=============================(0:00 Intro(1:30) What causes YOU to COPE?(3:30) Daniel's Counselor story(5:25) Erin & the blackhole(6:41) Coping: healthy & unhealthy(8:22) Face the Pain(10:35) Sooooo many triggers(12:00) Ephesians 4: KEYS (13:43) Death is the doorway to life(16:05) THIS won't kill me: If you're going through hell, keep going!(17:50) How am I feeling?

What if the thing you're avoiding is the key to the connection you're craving?We all want real connection—but you can't have intimacy if you're avoiding conflict.In Episode 6 of Work Club, we're talking conflict avoidance, peacekeeping vs. peacemaking, and the real cost of staying silent.From fights to forgiveness, we're sharing the hard convos that brought healing—and why the connection you want might be on the other side of the one you're avoiding.Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss an episode!=============================⏰ Timecodes ⏰=============================(0:00)- Intro(2:06) - Sam's Revelation: Fear of Success(7:55) - Why do we tend to avoid conflict?(8:15) - Conflict Avoidance(10:54) - Avoiding Conflict is Avoiding Intimacy(11:40) - Peacemakers vs Peacekeepers(14:27) - What's the hardest conversation you've ever had?(15:07) - Erin's Convo (Commitment to connection)(17:35) - Ingram's convo(18:45) - You can only control yourself(20:00) - Recovering after the convo(21:54) - Daniel's hard conversations(24:38) - Every good thing you want is on the other side of a hard conversation(26:12) - Elles, Avoidance, & Grenades (consequences of avoidance)(28:00) - Relationship & Stewardship(28:25) - You won't regret having hard convos(29:48) - Are you currently avoiding convos rn?(32:37) - Daniel & Elles's Fight(37:40) - Early and Often=============================Miss the first episode of the Work Club?

You don't have to live by the lies you've believed—this episode is all about rewriting the story you tell yourself.We all carry stories—about our worth, our identity, and our place in the world. But what if the story playing in your head isn't the one God's telling?In this episode, we confront the lies that sneak into our self-talk: • Feeling like you're not enough • Giving without getting anything back • Letting assumptions shape your relationships • Missing the small moments that could shift everythingAnd most importantly—we talk about how God's grace rewrites the script.If you've ever struggled with shame, comparison, or feeling unseen, this one's for you.

Shame doesn't just make you feel bad—it messes with your head, distorts your identity, and makes you want to disappear. In this episode of Work Club, we're calling it out.

The question is—what are you doing with it?In episode 2 of Work Club, we're diving into the emotional weight we carry from past experiences, and how it shows up in our relationships today.

We talk a lot about God's design for sex and relationships—but here's the thing most people don't realize: You can't live that design well if you're carrying unprocessed pain.That's why we're launching Work Club—a 10-episode podcast miniseries from the team at Moral Revolution.As a group of people committed to helping Christians pursue God's design for relationships, we know healing doesn't happen in isolation. It happens in community.So we decided to go first.We're coworkers, friends, and followers of Jesus, inviting you into the real, unfiltered conversations we're having behind the scenes about what we're working on—and how God's working on us.Episode 1 is all about family dynamics in young adulthood. Because sometimes the hardest part of healing is facing the patterns you grew up in.We're talking:

Anna Funder (international bestselling author of Wifedom) pens books about power. She is the author of the international bestsellers Stasiland, about the Stasi, which is being made into a TV series starring Elizabeth Debicki, and All That I Am, about the Nazis, which won the Miles Franklin Award. Her latest book, Wifedom: Mrs Orwell's Invisible Life, sees Anna take on the patriarchy. She exposes how literary giant George Orwell wrote his wife Eileen O'Shaughnessy “out of existence”, despite (and possibly because of) her pivotal role in his work.Anna and I talk through Orwell's misogyny and his own “doublethink” (believing two contradictory ideas while blanking out awareness of the contradiction), plus how doublethink works to keep patriarchy going. We dig into the delicate issue of the cancellation of these kinds of figures (we both agree they shouldn't be), the passive voice technique, why women must “claim their pronouns”, the power structure difference between France and Australia and how women write books.SHOW NOTESGet your copy of Wifedom hereYou can read more about Anna here and follow her work on InstagramThis episode of Wild was recorded at Work Club, my workspace while I was in Sydney--If you need to know a bit more about me… head to my "about" pageFor more such conversations subscribe to my Substack newsletter, it's where I interact the most!Get your copy of my book, This One Wild and Precious LifeLet's connect on Instagram and WeAre8 Hosted on Acast.

You need:* Practical solutions - actionable insights and solutions to tackle the challenges of business ...that don't ignore your humanness (or hormones!)* Autonomy with connection - you're not here for friendship or spotlight, but you crave the reassurance of shared challenges, a nod that your experiences are not unique, and a reminder that you're not alone in your journey* Coaching & guidance - it's simple: you can get tailored coaching on YOUR specific challenge, or benefit from hearing others being coached on similar challenges. * Emotional support - your humanness is honoured here.

“And for us since day one, we realized that even though we have competitors in the sense of office space. We're really competing against people in their homes. If we can't bring people out of their houses and into a better experience at GP, then people aren't going to churn, right?” Tim Hasse, the founder of General Provision, gives us the inside look into a space that identifies as a “work club,” not as an office or even a coworking space. His intuition long before COVID was to create an experience that wasn't just about work. “The mantra very early was that anybody could come in and outbuild us, but they'll never be able to outservice us. And that's the, the culture that still lives on, you know, nine years later.” Resources Mentioned in this Episode: Tim's LinkedIn profile General Provision website Everything Coworking Featured Resources: Masterclass: 3 Behind-the-Scenes Secrets to Opening a Coworking Space The Everything Coworking Academy Community Manager University Creative Coworking Partnerships: How to negotiate and structure management agreements from the landlord and operator perspective Follow Us on YouTube

Tifany Khakdoust is a Laguna Beach real estate agent who longed for a sense of community. She knew there were plenty of cool people in town, she just needed a place to get them all together... so she decided to start a social club of her own. Enter The Great Love Club, a space for likeminded people with an emphasis on SLOW living (Sustainable, Local, Organic, Whole). The Great Love Club started with Walk Club, a concept so simple, yet so needed. What began with a few people showing up each Tuesday soon turned into 30-40 people meeting at 7am each week to explore different areas of Laguna. Deep friendships were made, as well as opportunities for networking and collaborations. Word traveled and people started hearing about the club all over Orange County, creating a community where everyone truly felt welcome. Tifany added Work Club on Thursdays, Church Club on Sundays, and now hosts multiple events and workshops each and every week — from Breathwork and Ice Bath Gatherings to Women's Wellness Day Retreats to Healing Jewelry Workshops to the monthly HIKE CLUB Laguna Beach Living co-hosts each month. Get caught up to date with Tifany and all TGLC's new events and workshops at TheGreatLoveClub.com or on Instagram at @thegreatloveclub.

Jem jumped around different industries and realized that it wasn't about the industries but about the work itself. There was a need for professional development coaching for workers, and she wanted to address this. People Want Personal Development Employees have goals for professional development because they don't want to remain stagnant. They want to know what's in their future and to become masters at what they are doing. They want to have feedback that they're doing good, growing, learning, and being challenged. Everyone has goals for professional development. Where We Can Get Professional Development Conferences get employees excited to implement their learning in their work. However, this motivation is almost always short-term or isn't suitable for everyone. Jem observed that these events are not the right mix and not consistent and specific enough for that person's long-term vision. So she wanted to provide consistent professional development for every level of employee. Coaching isn't only for executives. It's also helpful for people in the early parts of their careers. Professional Development Is (Not) the Employer's Responsibility Society has trained us from childhood to think that development is someone else's responsibility, from school to college. Many people carry that attitude to adulthood: we think that our professional development is our employer's responsibility. It's not. HR may provide learning management system courses and conferences, but they cannot level up your skills. Determine where you want to be in 10 years. From here, identify the skills and goals you need. Determine the skills you're good at and those that you need to develop. Tips for Ambitious Women to Achieve Their Goals for Professional Development You're not alone in having difficulty achieving your full potential at work because of the lack of development. You should know your values and understand how to use them in your work. Cast your vision and work backward from it. Plan your way towards your vision. Have integrity and accountability. Surround yourself with a community that challenges your blind sports and celebrates your wins. Invest and develop your skillset. Then, identify what's worth leveraging. Rethinking Outdated Career Advice One outdated piece of advice is not to challenge authority. If you know or understand something that can contribute to your company, it's your responsibility to discuss this respectfully. Respectful discussion helps both parties understand each other. Know your value and have the confidence to communicate. The Biggest Challenge That a Woman Can Face in Career Development It may be difficult to find a sponsor. Be prepared. A business or corporate mentorship is a trusted adviser. Meanwhile, a sponsor is someone who would speak your name and pull you to the next levels and propel your career forward. Identify potential sponsors, approach them and build a relationship. Exhibit hand-to-heart service. Build and show value, and they will naturally step into a sponsor role. The Good at Work Club The Good at Work Club answers the call of people who want to achieve their goals for professional development. Here, communities of like-minded women professionals come together and help support each other. There are custom development plans for each individual, weekly updates, and monthly workshops to improve skills and foster development. Jem shares that she wants The Good at Work Club to remain virtual to reach more people. However, she hopes to have an in-person event in the future. Finding What People Need Jem found out that women need a professional development map that points towards their vision and career. They want to know if they're doing it with focus and efficiency. So Jem started to work with clients and their feedback to build the programming as needed. How Jem Does it All It's essential to identify your priorities. Jem likens this to juggling, where you identify which balls are glass and which are plastic. You don't have to juggle every ball. Jem's Daily Non-Negotiables Jem has rituals that focus on paying attention to what she's doing and habits for subconscious and automatic actions. She has a morning planning ritual that helps her give attention to saying yes or no to the right things. Every Monday, Jem spends the first hour of the day budgeting her time. She makes sure to spend 2 hours each week reading blogs and taking courses for her development. Jem's Advice for Women Who Suffered as a Consequence of COVID Research shows that the pandemic could hold women back for two years in their career progression. Bouncing back is still possible after the pandemic. Don't give up, and take the time to reflect and discover what you want. Try filling out an ikigai. It's a Japanese model which looks like a Venn diagram that can help you discover your passion. Be diligent in your career search, spend time to see if you can build something on your own, or try things that can work out for you. 5 Powerful Quotes from This Episode “They want that feedback that you're doing a good job, and you're growing and learning and you're being challenged. Otherwise, you get kind of bored.” “It's really important to have integrity, accountability, and a community that can challenge your blind spots and champion your wins. Even the small wins.” “I really wanted to foster a community of like-minded women, emerging professionals, emerging managers, who wanted to come together and help support each other in their professional development.” “There's this idea that we have to do it all. But I like to think of things as you're juggling. You need to know what balls are class balls and what balls are plastic.” “You can't give up hope. You need to hold on and do what you can do. I think this is a great time for you to take a moment and discover what do you really want.” About Jem Jem Millett is the founder of the Good at Work Club, which aims to improve your professional development so that you're good at work and feel good at work. She has over 20 years of experience in the sales and marketing field and a decade in mentoring and coaching. Jem finds motivation in serving and empowering women to take control of their professional development. Jem seeks to inspire women to be their best at work, be leaders, managers, and owners who go above and beyond and shine bright.

In this episode, I’m talking with Soren Trampedach – Founder and Chairman of Work Club Global. With a background in Danish furniture design and craftsmanship, Soren helped orchestrate the workplace culture of organisations such as Google, Facebook, Deloitte and Microsoft. Witnessing the successes arising out of these environments, he was inspired to create Work Club – a shared office and members club. Work Club has gone from strength to strength, by building spaces where different thinking comes together to not just to work, but to share and solve the problems of tomorrow. He says disruption in the last decade has been via technology, in one industry at a time, but disruption now will be using technology across multiple industries. So, there will be no choice but to step outside your own discipline and learn from others. He’s convinced cities globally are on the cusp of wholesale transformation: while work habits have changed forever, humanity will always seek connection, and multi-disciplinary work hubs will be the answer. To find out more, listen in to this episode of Heart and Hustle. CREDITS Host:Margot Faraci Guest: Soren Trampedach See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hello Ladies and Gents! As always thanks for tuning in to the Coworking Values Podcast! We welcome you to another episode with so much gusto. For this episode, we have David Brown, Founder and Director of Good Space - a Work club at Queen’s Park. He is going to be sharing all about what is a 15 Minute City and why this concept will boost the local community and promote healthier and robust living conditions in an urban setting. He will also be telling us all about the Good Space, and how about it being more of a work club rather than a coworking space. And how working in a coworking space gave him the idea of founding the Good Space.
Work Club founder Soren Trampendach speaks with Christina Gerakiteys and Lisa Andrews, Co-CEO's of Singularity University about using exponential technologies to tackle the world’s biggest challenges and benefit humanity.

Angel never had Mr. Miller as a teacher, but that did not matter. Their mutual passion for diversity and social justice brought them together to help form the Diverse Hands at Work Club at Powhatan High School. In their first year of work together, they helped grow the club to over 25 members while promoting inclusiveness at their school. As the president of the club, Angel attributes much of its success to Mr. Miller, who she describes as “really really dope."
Speaker Professor Joe Urbany Type Live Conversation About Work Club Global Work Club Global is for people and organisations who want to break free from the rigid, conventions of traditional working. Those who have freedom of movement, curiosity of mind, diversity of thought and courage of spirit to transition effortlessly between work, life and leisure. Work Club provides collaborative working spaces to stimulate and energise its members and encourages conversations to spark creativity. About this conversation As commoditisation inevitably hits industries, organisations struggle deeply with differentiation and financial growth. Opportunities for competitive advantage, though, are often missed because of consistent misalignment between firm decision-makers and what customers actually value. We’ll discuss how “disruptive customer insights” can be applied to drive growth through differentiated strategy, innovation, enhanced customer experience and ultimately deliver financial results. More About The Speaker Joe Urbany, Ph.D. is Professor of Marketing in the Mendoza College of Business at the University of Notre Dame, Illinois. He was previously Associate Dean of Graduate Programs in the College. He received his Ph.D. from Ohio University. Professor Urbany’s research and large volume of published work focuses on managerial decision-making, competitive strategy and buyer behaviour. He also consults to a wide range of organisations. He has been cited by several media outlets, including U.S. News and World Report, USA Today, MSNBC, the Wall Street Journal, and in other international media. Conversation Notes - Disruption is not only about change, it’s about opportunity. - Disrupt the value that customers feel they deserve, and what they actually receive. - The way you beat competitors is to understand customer decision making better than they do. Do this by conceptualising customer needs and work out how that relates to what is provided in your offering. - It’s very important to get very focused on each customer and each competitor, that’s where you get the depth of insight and actionable opportunities. - There’s nothing more motivating than someone thinking you’re something you’re not. There’s also nothing more motivating than someone not recognising something you are. “We tend to think of disruption as an ‘external’ focus, but we need to disrupt our internal organisation first. That’s where it all begins.” Joe's Linkedin: Joe Urbany Join Us Did you enjoy the conversation? If so, make sure to subscribe!

Speaker Jamie Skella Type Live Conversation About Work Club Global Work Club Global is for people and organisations who want to break free from the rigid, conventions of traditional working. Those who have freedom of movement, curiosity of mind, diversity of thought and courage of spirit to transition effortlessly between work, life and leisure. Work Club provides collaborative working spaces to stimulate and energise its members and encourages conversations to spark creativity. About this conversation Technologist and entrepreneur Jamie Skella has spent two decades designing, building and advising of businesses across blockchain, IoT, and even future food. Formerly Executive Director at MiVote, a not-for-profit democratic movement, Jamie has since gone on to co-found one of Australia’s first blockchain projects, Horizon State. A company focused on redesigning how societies collaboratively make decisions using emerging technology – and how to arrive at high-quality decisions – Horizon State has built a community empowerment and secure voting platform that delivers unprecedented trust through the integrity and post-unforgeable attributes of distributed ledger technology. More About The Speaker Jamie Skella joins Florence Guild to explain Blockchain in simple terms, walk us through the Horizon State story, and gets us to think big picture about the opportunity that blockchain enabled disruption presents – as well as the risks and opportunities that come along with it. Decentralisation and disintermediation is on the horizon, whether you’re ready for it or not. Conversation Notes - Blockchain can be framed as a digitised and synchronized notebook, designed to replace how society organises itself. - It provides for an equitable and disintermediated society where we can redistribute wealth and potentially even save the environment. - In the long-term, the banks will need to make way for the rapid influx of change. - At this stage, developer tools are young and a lot more quality design work needs to be in place. - The accountability and transparency present in the system will always counteract the criminal element. Quote “It’s not the technology we need to stop, or slow, or fix – it’s the people. Technology is agnostic, all technology can be used for good and for bad.” Jamie's Linkedin: Jamie Skella Jamie's Twitter: Jamie Skella Join Us Did you enjoy the conversation?

Speaker Dr Natalia Nikolova Type Live Conversation About this conversation We are at the outset of one of the most turbulent periods of what Joseph Schumpeter termed creative destruction. New technologies such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality, blockchain, internet of things, and big data will impact every organisation and every job. The only way to survive this creative destruction is to be part of it. For established organisations, this means fostering a culture of innovation and intrapreneurship that supports innovative initiatives and practices within existing organisations. For individual workers, the implication is to invest in skills and capabilities that will enable them to develop an entrepreneurial, future-oriented mindset, and the ability to work with people from diverse disciplines and backgrounds. Both are not easy to accomplish. In this event, Natalia shares insights from academic research and industry best practice on intrapreneurship as well as my personal experiences of cultivating students’ skills and capabilities necessary for the future of work. More About The Speaker Dr Natalia Nikolova is a Senior Lecturer in Management at the University of Technology Sydney Business School and the Director of UTS’ newly developed, innovative MBA. Her research focuses on organisational practices, strategy, innovation and leadership and seeks to provide students, the business community and the public with a deeper understanding of the opportunities and challenges associated with the future of work. Natalia specializes in designing learning experiences and courses that prepare students for the future of work through the development of ‘enterprise’ skills, such as complex problem-solving, critical thinking, communication, teamworking and project management skills. Conversation Notes – Work is changing so rapidly, we cannot assume our skills will hold forever. We need to be opening to constantly acquiring new skills and opening ourselves up to new experiences. – Education providers need to plan for the future of work, adapting the platform they teach on, the content they’re providing and their business models going forward. – Businesses need to adopt an innovation process, ascertaining how to better meet customer needs and implement financial support initiatives – As an employee, we need to be open to collaboration with new backgrounds and perspectives. It’s about being comfortable being uncomfortable. – Leadership within organisations plays a big part in this, particularly by drawing on the skillsets and agendas from different technical understanding within the team. Natalia’s Linkedin: Natalia Nikolova Natalia’s UTS Profile: Natalia Nikolova Quote “We have to be open to new experiences, we can’t rely entirely on our skills and knowledge. We need to keep learning, keep experimenting.” Join Us Did you enjoy the conversation? If so, make sure to subscribe!

Speaker Christina Gerakiteys Type Live Conversation About this conversation What will it mean to live in an ExpONEntial society? Is ‘one’ a singular or a collective? Will we upload consciousness and merge with AI, or is The Singularity our uploading into a collective consciousness? Nothing is certain beyond our own values and behaviours. Yet if we look to nature we realise we each play our part in an improvisatory whole. Honey bees have an extraordinary social structure. Each bee has a defined function within the hive. A honey bee colony is a well-run organisation. And the ocean is made up of immeasurable numbers of singularly powerless droplets. Together they create a powerful mass that covers over 70% of the planet. The power of one can be dictatorial. Or it can be the collected unity of voices, steering the world to compassion and love. Will we become a society of singular units, or a collective? Do we exist as individuals or as individuations of a collective whole? More About The Speaker Christina Gerakiteys is a creativity and innovation catalyst. Her purpose is to ignite hearts and minds to what is possible, so individuals are empowered to create an incredible life. Christina’s depth of knowledge and engaging style have made her a popular presenter at major conferences including SingularityU Australia Summit, Vivid Ideas and Creative Innovation. A self-confessed lifelong learner, she is a recent graduate of the Executive Program at Singularity University (Cuperitno, Silicon Valley) and is currently undertaking doctorate studies in Creativity and Innovation. Conversation Notes - In our dynamic and complex world, there are no real answers to problems – we never know what the true solution may be. - Our lives are changing at a faster rate than ever before, which provides for both challenges and opportunities. - We are a collection of the things we read, hear and say. - As a human race, we are working in a ‘collective consciousness’ for the betterment of humanity. - The world belongs to the people who are dreamers, who have grand visions. You need to ask yourself: What’s your mass transformative purpose? What’s the change you want to see in the world? Christina's Linkedin: Christina Gerakiteys Quote “Don’t be scared to be the source. Don’t be scared to come up with new ideas, that’s where the magic lies.” Join Us Did you enjoy the conversation? If so, make sure to subscribe!

Speaker Mark Zawacki Type Live Conversation About this conversation The world’s population is currently 7.6 billion inhabitants, which according to WHO is expected to increase dramatically to approximately 9.8 billion inhabitants by 2050. That’s a lot of new mouths to feed and those hockey stick growth projections we all saw as kids is now actually happening. In this talk, Mark will address the myriad of severe challenges in feeding ‘the next 2 billion’ people, some emerging solutions with their respective advantages & disadvantages, and the worldwide leadership imperative required to address such a truly global challenge. More About The Speaker Mark Zawacki is an advisor, researcher and investor. Based in San Francisco, he’s worked in over 80 counties to date in a wide variety of sectors including financial services, retail, media, telco, manufacturing, healthcare & pharmaceuticals and government. He has spent a considerable amount of time in the past few years researching the global agriculture sector and assessing it’s state of readiness to feed 9.8B inhabitants. Mark has previously resided in Australia (twice) and remains a very frequent visitor. His Australian clients have included CBA, Telstra, AMP, the NRMA, Challenger, Clearview Financial, Financial Wisdom and Colonial First State. He’s also been an Advisor to Cure Brain Cancer Foundation in Australia. Conversation Notes - As countries get richer they consume more resource-heavy foods – thus placing more pressure on the global food distribution system. - The solution stems from two markets: which production methods could assist an increase in supply or which consumption means could manage demand? - An assessment of the scalability and viability of initiatives such as rooftop gardens, container farms, vertical farms and urban farms is often overlooked. - In the last five years there’s been dramatic improvement decision-making but going forward, solving the waste problem is not addressing the issue. - “On an individual level, if we all ate lower on the food chain – it would have a profound impact on the health of the world population”. Mark's Linkedin: Mark Zawacki Mark's Twitter: @markzawacki Quote “We need to ask ourselves, how do we lessen the impact of what we do to this Earth day by day.” Join Us Did you enjoy the conversation?

Speaker Mikey Ellis Type Live Conversation About this conversation Companies do a lot of work and spend a lot of time and money on employee engagement. Whether it be surveys, workshops, motivational speakers and off-sites, it is believed that engagement translates to productivity and profit. In this podcast, Mikey explores what’s worked and what hasn’t for Vinomofo, with a focus on what it takes to have your team truly engaged and aligned with the company’s mission. More About The Speaker Mikey is an experienced educator, facilitator and speaker specialising in human behaviour and building revolutionary company culture. “Imagine if we could bring our true, genuine, authentic self to work, to do work that is an expression of our purpose – creating workplaces where this is the norm, that’s what’s exciting to me.” Conversation Notes - Company culture is not something that is defined and upheld by a small group of people – all employees become co-creators of culture - As culture evolves, and we should allow it to do so, it needs certain frameworks and guidelines - Whether it’s defined or not in our mission statement or values, culture is what people ‘feel’ - You need to have a clear set of employees to step back and say: ‘is what we do in alignment with what we’d say we’d do?’ - As employees make the progression into leadership, you have to upskill them to deal with people and processes - Don’t expect people to do what they don’t want to, help them find their unique fit in a cohesive workplace Mikey's Linkedin: Michael Ellis Mikey's Twitter: @mikeyellis13 Quote “The key to a successful company is having the right people in the right time working for the right thing.

Speaker Kristen Hansen Type Live Conversation About this conversation Drawing from the latest neuroscience research, Kristen will summarise the findings in a framework called NeuroTREAD – how to think, regulate, engage, adapt and develop with the brain in mind. Think – Interpret core brain functions and what impacts effective decision making. Regulate – Recognise the brain’s emotional triggers, response to stress and build resilience. Engage – Develop strategies to understand the brain’s emotional and engagement responses to build engaged teams. Adapt – Lead teams effectively through change by utilising the brain’s “neuroplasticity” while recognising the resistance to and capability to change. Develop – Develop the keys to the brain’s ability to learn and develop through a brain-based coaching technique and regular feedback strategies. More About The Speaker Kristen Hansen is the founder of EnHansen Performance, supporting managers to build leadership, resilience, adaptability, creativity, coaching, self-management and engagement skills Kristen draws from her Post Graduate studies in Neuroscience of Leadership and 20 years of management roles with major Australian organisations. Kristen has been an accredited Executive Coach with the International Coaching Federation, a Master Trainer in Emotional Intelligence and accredited in PRISM Brain Mapping. Kristen works with major corporations like Telstra, Google and NRMA in the areas of leadership, sales and performance. Conversation Notes - Neuroscience adds traction to personal and leadership development, as it is underpinned by science. - We need to be in a reward state to optimise performance, rather than a threat state. It’s about asking “how do I get my both my own and my teams brain operating?” - Great leadership is about not only creating a positive self, but also an environment for others. - When you have a busy brain, you’re less likely to have those reflective ‘aha’ moments. - Help others gain perspective during conversations: ask them what outcome do you want, what thinking are you doing, what decisions have you made, what are you feeling?

Speaker Tiffany Gray Type Live Conversation About this conversation Insights from the latest research in neuroscience can provide us with a pathway to more fulfilling experiences. Emotions have always been a tricky realm to navigate; until now that is. We now know how understanding the key operating principles of the brain - when used wisely - can be harnessed and utilised as brain hacks. Our brain is constantly being seduced by our environment and as a result our brain changes in ways that we are mostly unaware of. Increasing your self-awareness, understanding your emotional states and learning to read the triggers will help you to take control and direct how your brain changes. Take the opportunity to learn and explore how the brain puts out the call and how your mind decides whether to listen. More About The Speaker Tiffany Gray, Director at PRISM Brain Mapping Australia has had over 25 years working experience in leadership roles; specialising in leading sales, business improvement, human resource, organisation development and change teams. Tiffany has supported her practical work experience with tertiary studies in Bachelor of Business (HR & IR), Graduate Diploma in Innovation and Service Management, Post Graduate Diploma in NeuroLeadership and a Masters in Applied Science.

Conversation Notes - We spend a lot of time looking after our physical selves, without actually asking ourselves how we are from an emotional standpoint. - It’s important to understand how to regulate your emotions, understand where you are in the world and what that means for you. - Everyone works below the line, not everyone works above the line: the ability to make decisions, create, innovate, and focus our attention. Stretch yourself. - For each difficult moment or emotion, ask yourself “how can I reframe this?” - We have a physical and emotional response before our cognitive response comes to the fore.

Speaker Grant Herbert Type Live Conversation About this conversation Leaders today are navigating massive change created by constant economic uncertainty, shifting consumer expectations, technological advancement and significant generational differences. Professionals traditionally have high cognitive intelligence (IQ) and technical skill, however, they are not often well trained to deal with issues requiring social and emotional intelligence (SEIQ). A major challenge we see in every organisation is when great technicians are becoming leaders. Time poor and overstressed people often ask us, “How am I supposed to lead others when I am not really sure how to lead myself?” This mindset and lack of “soft skills” can lead to micro-managing or abrasive leadership on the one hand and a loss of self-confidence, translating into a drop in performance, on the other. How many times have you seen a new manager or leader lose their mojo or have a negative influence on the people around them? The cost is high right across the professional arena. In this podcast, Grant shows us why Emotional Intelligence is a crucial skill set to overcome these issues and how to develop them in yourself and others. More About The Speaker Describing himself as an ordinary guy, with an outstanding wife and 5 amazing kids, Grant has a passionate message to share about being authentic and living the life you were created to live. With over 35 years as a leadership trainer and coach, Grant has learned that the key to developing others is to first help them replace the mindsets and behaviours that are currently sabotaging their results. Once that platform is built, they actually implement what he teaches. This ensures you get a high ROI. Whether it is in the corporate boardroom, the business seminar or the conference venue, he inspires in you a desire to change and then shows you how to do so. In his own authentic yet powerful way, Grant guides you through your surface story into the real issues hidden below. Conversation Notes - Emotions are linked to behaviour. We need to have an environment of support and accountability to allow the time and space to change our behaviour. - Regardless of your technical skills, without emotional intelligence you can fall short in your ability and confidence to work with others. - Emotional intelligence is a life-long learning process and continual journey. - By developing social emotional intelligence in leadership, we can reduce stress and conflict and increase productivity and engagement. - Artificial intelligence is coming our way, but we will never be successful if we take out the human element. - As leaders, we need to make sure we’re always coming from a position of cause, rather than effect.

Speakers Phill Nosworthy & Dr Angus Hervey Type Live Conversation About this conversation We live in a world of extraordinary possibility. However, it is also a world of distraction, indecision and procrastination. Focus and courage, it would seem are a potent antidote and strategy.

More About The Speakers Phill Nosworthy Phill is a researcher, Keynote Speaker and Co-Founder of Switch Learning + Development.

He holds a PhD in Government and a Masters in International Political Economy from the London School of Economics, where he was also the Ralph Miliband Scholar from 2009 to 2012. Conversation Notes Topic: The Intricacies, Aspects and Determinants of Focus. - Fundamentally, if you don’t know what you’re looking for, explore with an open mind. - Think about what you are bringing in to focus. Are you looking for the right thing? Are you looking in the right places? - A key aspect to focus is linking your aspirational self to your actual self. - You can’t focus on what you’re doing or where you’re going unless you know who you are. - Think about how our understanding of tomorrow informs the decisions we make today. - A lack of clarity manifests in procrastination, indecision, emotional turmoil within us. The four C’s form the cornerstones to focus: - Challenges – they satisfy the soul - Connections - the way we connect with others - Contributions - go after something bigger than yourself - Control – look to gain mastery Phill's Linkedin: Phill Nosworthy Angus' Linkedin: Angus Hervey Phill's Website: phillnosworthy.com Future Crunch's Website: futurecrun.ch Quote “Unless we understand who we’re speaking to, it’s impossible to hone in and figure out what we’re looking for or where we’re looking for it.” Dr Angus Hervey Join Us Did you enjoy the conversation?

Speaker Kaila Colbin Type Live Conversation About this conversation To wrap up our ‘Antidisciplinary Future’ speaker series, we have partnered with SingularityU Australia Summit and Pause Fest to bring you the future. What do nanotechnology, bioinformatics, artificial intelligence, and robotics have in common, and, more importantly, what do they have to do with you? Join Singularity University’s Australian Ambassador for a startling look at the dramatic implications of exponential technologies, and some insight into how we might better prepare ourselves to adapt and thrive in a dynamically changing world. More About Kaila Kaila Colbin is the New Zealand and Australian Ambassador for Singularity University. She is also the Co-Founder and Chair of the non-profit Ministry of Awesome, Curator of TEDxChristchurch and TEDxScottBase, Chair of the New York-based Natural Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts, Deputy Chair of CORE Education Ltd, a board member of Canterbury Development Corporation Holdings Ltd and a Certified ExO Consultant with ExO Works. Conversation Notes - How is it possible that an artificial intelligence system predicted that Donald Trump would win the US election weeks beforehand? - The doubling curve of computer price-performance explains why today’s smartphones have access to more information than Bill Clinton had the entire time he was president. - It’s not just about computing. This doubling phenomenon applies to any technology once it becomes ‘information enabled’. - The difference in something following a linear trajectory and something following a doubling curve is insane. Our brains are not wired for this. - It is not about what technology is available at any given point in time. That is not the key thing. The key thing is how technology changes over time. - What has to come together for mass uptake of the technology? It’s not just the technology that has to be ready, the regulatory environment has to be ready, the market appetite has to be ready, the investment environment has to be ready. When all those things come together, that’s when we hit that inflection point. - These technologies are now starting to converge. So now we have to consider what happens when something like exponential progression in AI hits exponential in something like robotics or biotechnology. Or bioengineering converges with 3D printing at the atomic scale? When we can literally print matter atom by atom? What happens is that everything accelerates even faster. Kaila’s Linkedin: K Colbin SingularityU Australia Summit’s Website: singularityuaustraliasummit.com SingularityU’s Website: su.org Quote “Every new computer starts at the sum total of all the knowledge of all the previous computers – which is why these things progress exponentially.

Speakers Noga Edelstein and Elke Keeley – Co-Founders at UrbanYou Mike Rosenbaum – CEO & Founder of Spacer Marty Newkirk – Fleet Manager at Car Next Door Type Live Conversation About this conversation The 2-sided marketplace model and the On-Demand Economy are here to stay. The “Uberisation” trend is spreading to more verticals, as consumers become more demanding of “instant gratification” and technology enables delivery of services in a streamlined and cost-efficient way. It is far more cost-effective to share resources than invest in ownership. This applies to physical assets as well as labour. Florence Guild will discuss access over ownership and the new 2 sided marketplace business model with some of Australia’s leaders in the on-demand economy. Meet UrbanYou, Spacer, and Car Next Door and learn how they are taking the 2 sided marketplace to the next level. UrbanYou offers prescreened household service providers to busy professionals. Spacer brings together people with space with people who need storage; i.e. Tinder for storage. Car Next Door brings car owners together with car renters. Conversation Notes - The sharing economy is now becoming mainstream. Many people are used to using Uber and Air BNB. Pretty much everyone, now, is doing it. That wave of change in consumer behaviour has allowed businesses like ours (Car Next Door) to flourish. - Mindset is one of the big things to overcome because of the fact that, in our society, at least for the last 100 – 200 years, individual ownership has been the norm, and everybody has always owned everything that they’ve needed to use. - It is possible to free people from the ‘one car, one person’ mentality. Cars sit idle 96% of the time. - The rise of reviews is both a benefit and a detriment to online businesses. - Everyone loves to have a say. The danger is that businesses or contractors can live and die by their reviews. - The world is changing very quickly and some of the (innovation and regulation) laws were written without the internet in mind and without sharing economy platforms in mind. New sharing economy businesses are keen to work with governments to address changes in things like the Trade Practices Act and consumer laws. The industry does need some regulation around it because everybody would be better off if the guidelines were clear. - The focus is to keep things really simple, have options available, and to give the consumer the best possible experience.

Not long ago we were all too scared to use a credit card to buy a product online yet now we will go and stay in someone’s home overseas whom we have never met before. So, the on-demand phenomenon is not so much, ‘When is it coming?’ It’s here, and it’s expected now.” Join Us Did you enjoy the conversation? If so, make sure to subscribe!

Speakers Justin Passaportis – General Manager, Victoria & South Australia at GoGet Carshare Danielle Sampson – Director of Partnerships and Experiences at Base Commons Type Live Conversation About this conversation While not owning assets has been standard practice for heavy machinery and non-mission-critical functions for decades, recently there’s been an accelerating trend towards outsourcing even day-to-day assets – business wise and in our private lives. In the on-demand economy, accessing is better than possessing. The “Uberisation” trend is spreading to more verticals as technology is enabling delivery of services in a streamlined and cost-efficient way. It is far more cost-effective to share resources than invest in ownership. Florence Guild will discuss access over ownership with some of Australia’s leaders in the on-demand economy. Meet GoGet and Base Commons and learn how they are taking the shared-economy to the next level. Base Commons curates experiences and co-living spaces for a new generation. GoGet brings all the joys of a car with none of the hassles. Conversation Notes - One of the biggest challenges to asset-sharing is breaking down the concept that we need to own things. The concept works, but there is a huge need for behavioural and value shifts to happen first. - Early adopters are the people who are willing to let go of the closely-held idea of ownership in lieu of convenience. They are comfortable in just being able to access the resources they need as they need them. - Shared asset models are already established in other areas such as co-working spaces and membership-based software usage. - What underpins the sharing economy is the aspect of community and a better way of using some of the resources that we do have. - Car share exists as one complement in many as part of a transport system. - - Public transport should still form the backbone of the system. - The concept of the suburban house with the white picket fence hasn’t gone away. Co-living is not the answer for everyone, but we need to see how it can sit alongside the current development process. - The more people who share, the more likely we will have compassion and understanding in society at a broader level – about each other as human beings, but also about our belongings and what they mean to us.

Speaker Danielle Szetho Type Live Conversation About this conversation London, Singapore, New York - these are the markets people think of when they think FinTech. They are rich in talent, have loads of capital, and are homes to some of the world's biggest financial institutions. However, for a tiny nation of 23m, Australia has a strong case to be a world-leading FinTech market. With almost 600 FinTech Startups and growing - more than Hong Kong and possibly even Singapore - Australia's rapidly maturing FinTech ecosystem is getting noticed, attracting strong investment from international VCs and Banks. FinTech Australia's CEO, Danielle Szetho, talks through the evolution of Australia's FinTech industry including the Fintech-friendly policy agenda that has helped it thrive. She also shares insights into Australia's unique FinTech strengths, where the world's FinTech leaders are focusing for the future, and the stories of Australian startups that are storming the world stage. Conversation notes - The Australian FinTech industry now represents 10,000 people. 16% of the start-up sector. - Venture capital increased from $450 million investment in the FinTech sector in 2014 to around $700 million in 2016 and it is still growing. - That’s 250% growth at a time when the rest of the world is going backwards by about 50% in terms ofFinTech investment. - Australia has a very well-regulatedFinTech environment. Forward thinking and very well regarded internationally. There is also a strong trend towards regulatory unification across the world. - Having such a regulated sector inevitably means that the cost for compliance is high. Many of these costs are manual processes that businesses are now using data technology to automate. - Australia has many other industries with similar compliance hurdles such as the medical and agricultural sectors. Australia is becoming increasingly well known for looking at how to leverage the intersections betweenFinTech and other industries. - Blockchain companies are starting to focus on usingFinTech applications for international remittances and trade finance and settlements. - Australian organisations are exploring the core capabilities we have across multiple industry verticals and putting them together to develop specialised niche applications which can also be sold internationally.

Speaker Phill Nosworthy Type Live Conversation About this conversation Ours is a world of teams, tribes and movements. For as long as there have been humans, we have obsessed with the power and potential of the group. Now, more than ever before, smart leaders must know how to harness their own storytelling and tribe building potential to create something meaningful. In this fireside conversation, Phill Nosworthy unpacks lessons from the greatest movements the world has ever seen. Conversation notes - Identity is built in, through and because of the groups that we are aligned to and that can be problematic. - Every time a consumer engages with a brand they see that as something that affirms their identity and something that they ‘find’ themselves in. Now, products and services are just the tip of the iceberg and are part of a bigger conversation about what that brand stands for. - Any time a movement is going to happen you are going to need 3 things: A strong leader, an idea, and a group of people who buy into both the leader’s vision and the idea itself. - Movements are defined by either the ‘dragon-slaying’ approach (standing against something) or the ‘missionary’ approach (standing for something). The 3 pillars behind creating a movement are reframing an idea, mainlining it, and playing it long. - Which brands do you believe fit the criteria of building a movement and why? - Which brands have transcended the products they create and represent something more to people. What do they represent? - Movements and tribes are built on the actions of individuals because the intentions are all well and good but, as the saying goes, the road to hell is lined with good intentions. Actions are what drive outcomes. More about Phill Phill Nosworthy is a researcher, Keynote Speaker and Co-Founder of Switch Learning + Development. He works alongside brands like Microsoft, Universal Music and ING as a speaker, facilitator and social impact strategist and has been described as a The Meaning Maker - a unique professional who creates new paths for the next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs.

Speaker Anders Sörman-Nilsson Type Live Conversation About this conversation We are at the knee of the curve of exponentiality. If you thought yesterday was fast, you haven’t imagined the pace of tomorrow yet. Meanwhile, many organisations are run in a way that is perfectly prepared for a world that no longer exist – yesterday. The future is a blend of the virtual and the physical, the digital and the analogue.

Speaker Olga Cuesta Type Live Conversation About this conversation Engaging a crowd and transforming them into communities has become vital for faster growth in business. Innovative ideas and customer communities come to life because of how we engage with them: customer feedback loop, gamification, rewards systems, UX, CX, you name it. Companies want to be innovative, but are they willing to take risks? And how much risk is too much? Olga shares practical ways in which to start Transformational Innovation and create a customer community. Conversation notes - What is the difference between innovation and invention? - Examples of great innovation that didn’t involve invention and why they worked. - Innovation is really about shifting behaviours. - What instigates the need for innovation? - Innovation comes in 3 forms: core, adjacent, and transformational. - How do they differ? - It’s not just about the risks taken by organisations but the risks that we, as individuals, are willing to take. Organisations are made up of every one of us. - Success comes in creating something unique and delivering something you truly want to deliver. More about Olga After a number of rewarding years in international investment banking as Vice President of JP Morgan’s Global Technology team, she became an MBA Director with CEU San Pablo. Olga has extensive experience in building capability and engagement, influencing and consulting senior leaders and executives, most recently at National Australia Bank in NabLabs and currently at Medibank as Head of Customer Experience and Design.

This has provided a platform to combine her studies in Economics with Behavioural Science, NLP and Positive Psychology. Olga's Linkedin: Olga Cuesta Quote “If you are not failing, you are not trying hard enough – not being risky enough. Not catastrophic failure but controlled, measured failure that allows you to push the boundaries in a safe environment. That is the risk - pushing to the limit but assessing. At that point, you learn and you iterate.” Join Us Did you enjoy the conversation? If so, make sure to subscribe!

Speaker Prof. Roy Green Type Live Conversation About this conversation Australia faces many challenges, not the least of which is the transition to a post-mining-boom economy. Yet old habits die hard, and governments at all levels and of all persuasions are clinging to a world we must leave behind rather than shaping the one we need to embrace. This is a world where ideas do matter, and can be translated into value for our economy and society. Are we up to the challenge? Conversation notes - How do you move to a knowledge-based economy and society? - Who will drive change? - How do young people view work? - How do societies help shape the future of work? - Social movements have to shape politicians - The future of societies will be shaped by businesses, higher education, community organisations, and public services More about Roy Roy Green is Dean of the UTS Business School at the University of Technology Sydney. His doctorate is from the University of Cambridge and he has worked in universities, business and government in Australia and overseas. Roy has published widely in the areas of innovation policy and management and undertaken projects with the OECD and European Commission. Roy chaired the Australian Government’s Innovative Regions Centre and CSIRO Manufacturing Sector Advisory Council, and he has served on the Prime Minister’s Manufacturing Taskforce and as expert adviser to the recent Senate Innovation System inquiry. He was last year appointed chair of the Queensland Competition Authority. Roy's Twitter: @DeanRoyGreen Quote "We have to move like any successful society in the 21st century, and become a knowledge-based society with a knowledge-based economy.

Speaker Prof. Toby Walsh Type Live Conversation About this conversation As AI is starting to make real progress, there is a large appetite to understand where it might be taking us. Toby Walsh, a leading researcher in Artificial Intelligence, will help us understand why AI is making headlines today and why we appear to be making such significant progress. He will also discuss where AI might take us and what AI is not yet capable of, and probably won’t be capable of for some time to come. Finally, he will provide a panorama of what the associated societal risks are, and how AI is both part of the problem and most likely part of the cure. Conversation notes - Why are we making more progress with AI now than ever before? - What are the current limitations of AI? - It will take a long time before machines get as intelligent as us, let alone more intelligent than us. Machines are very slow learners. - What can we do with AI now? - We will spend more and more time interacting with machines. AI is the operating system of the future. We will all benefit greatly. - One thing we should worry about very soon is the impact that AI will have on employment. - What’s left for humans if machines are also doing the cognitive tasks? - We are going to have to change our society in radical ways to deal with the change. - The future is not fixed. The future is the product of decisions we as a society make We get to choose the future we want to live in. More about Toby Toby Walsh is one of the world’s leading researchers in Artificial Intelligence. He is a Professor of Artificial Intelligence at the University of New South Wales and leads a research group at Data61, Australia’s Centre of Excellence for ICT Research.

There are seeds in the present that we can look at and follow along an innovation and option curve that will grow to be big opportunities or issues in the future. We go back 20 years and see Steve Jobs coming back to Apple or Sergey and Larry forgoing their PhD program and starting Google … We would expect certain seeds in the present, like bitcoin and blockchain, to expand in the future.” Join Us Did you enjoy the conversation?

Speaker Luca Belgiorno-Nettis Type Live Conversation About this conversation When ‘Starship Enterprise’ took off 250 years ago, the middle classes began to make the modern world with accelerating speed and yes, it must be said, with some adverse consequences. But there is no better spaceship, no better sputnik, known to mankind. Working and trading are fundamental to human relations. But business doesn’t usually factor in negative effects to the community at large – what economists euphemistically call ‘externalities’. For example, cities need open space, which business doesn’t address. Therefore ‘Steamship Democracy’ is needed alongside ‘Enterprise’. It’s a steamship, because it’s slower, but it actually needs to be faster, to anticipate business and promote the common good. Conversation notes - Why Starship Enterprise and Steamship Democracy? - What’s wrong with politics? - Why contemporary elections are throwing up the least disliked politicians - The reasons behind suboptimal government - Why sortition or a jury system are the remedies to our current political problem - What are citizen juries? - How can we make politicians accountable? - Should there be a trial before implementing? More about Luca Luca Belgiorno-Nettis is the Managing Director of Transfield Holdings, and Prisma Investments – a private family office. He has a B. Arch. (UNSW) and a Dip. in Urb. Est. Mngmt. (UTS) and is also a member of the UTS Vice-Chancellor’s Industry Advisory Board. In 2004 he founded The newDemocracy Foundation, a non-for-profit research organization focused on political reform. In 2009 he was awarded an AM for his work in arts and the community generally, and in 2014 he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Western Sydney University. newDemocracy Foundation: newdemocracy.com.au Transfield Holdings: transfield.com.au Prisma Investments: prisma.net.au Quote “There are many good elements to our democratic system. The rule of law, the separation of powers, the freedom of the press, the freedom of association etc.. But I think the lack of respect for politicians is the biggest single concern. I think that we’ve gradually lost faith in our political parties and politicians whoever they are or whoever they claim to represent.” Join Us Did you enjoy the conversation?

Speaker Nicholas Gruen Type Live Conversation About this conversation Brexit and the rise of Donald Trump have humiliated political elites. But we led the pack in 2013 when the elites in Australia’s Parliament humiliated themselves – abolishing carbon pricing when a predominant majority of parliamentarians understood it was folly. Why did they do it? To meet the imperatives of political combat in our vox pop democracy. Today democracy is synonymous with representation by election. But another way of representing the people enjoys far more community support and a far older lineage: Representation by sortition or selection by lot as occurs in juries. Injecting more sortition into our existing democracy could bring it back from what’s looking increasingly like the brink. Conversation notes - What's wrong with politics and why the world is sliding into the worst economic situation since the Great Depression? - The reason why we live in a VOX POP democracy - Australia’s leadership model - Why participatory and direct democracy will make things worse and not better - The origins of democracy and elections, those times when democracy was a dirty word - Citizen Juries, what are they? How do they work? - Example of citizen’s juries in the City of Melbourne, Switzerland and US and how they operate - A simple solution for our current complex democracy problem: an upper house elected by lot, a citizen’s chamber More about Nicholas Nicholas Gruen is a policy economist, entrepreneur and commentator on our economy, society and innovation. He advised two cabinet ministers in the 1980s and 90s, taught at ANU and sat on the Productivity Commission (then Industry Commission) from 1993 to 1997. He directed the New Directions project at the Business Council from 1997 to 2000. He is CEO of Lateral Economics, Visiting Professor at Kings College London Policy Institute and Adjunct Professor at UTS Business School, Chair of the Open Knowledge Foundation (Australia) and Patron of the Australian Digital Alliance. He chaired The Australian Centre for Social Innovation (TACSI) from 2010 to 2016, the Federal Government’s Innovation Australia in 2013-14 and in 2009 chaired the Government 2.0 Taskforce. Nicholas’ LinkedIn: Nicholas Gruen Nicholas’s Twitter: @NGruen1 Lateral Economics’ website: lateraleconomics.com.au Quote “My vision is of a citizen's chamber like the bull's eye like the Athenian bullseye. […] Think of the House of Commons and the House of Lords in the UK. Think of the House of Representatives in the Senate in the United States. Think of the Legislative Council and the start of the Legislative Assembly and the legislative council in most states of Australia which was a property franchise and you get the picture. And I simply want to flip that around to an upper house or an additional Upper House elected by a lot which would, by the way, have stopped us abolishing carbon pricing and the system”.

Speaker Soren Trampedach Type Live Conversation About this conversation A passionate observer and engineer of what makes work work, Soren Trampedach is Work Club’s visionary. He returns to the floor of Florence Guild to expand on his latest obsession: the anti-disciplinary approach crucial for creating the conditions for innovation. Evolving from his emphasis on the importance of diversity, Trampedach assesses traditional working structures and brings them squarely into the Information Age. Believing the merit of an organisation will in future lie in its ability to successfully harness alternative and unexpected sources for solutions, this event will have you rethinking everything you know about industry, productivity, management and mapping your own career. An unmissable Florence Guild. Conversation notes - What is the antidisciplinary future? - How and why is the traditional way of work changing? - Big businesses will be disrupted by new technologies and more nymble companies. - Key elements of the antidisciplinary future: staff on demand, community, engagement, algorithms, leverage assets - How can a community drive change, “push vs pull”? - Experimentation and work culture vs strategic planning - The power of the collective - Work Club and Florence Guild ethos More about Soren A thought-leader on innovation and the new work culture, Soren Trampedach has an impressive 20-year career in leadership positions, and continues to provide consultancy on workplace optimisation to industry leaders such as Google, Deloitte, NAB and Facebook.

Work Club: workclubglobal.com OLLO Group: ollogroup.com Soren’s LinkedIn: Soren Trampedach Quote “Business is around what’s the future of business, what’s the future of work and how can we try and adjust or look ahead as much as possible and be prepared. And it doesn’t matter whether we are that individual working from home or a big corporation. It’s really the same, I think for everyone. […] The systems that are going to appear more and more are going to be almost impossible for us to predict or understand. So again, it comes back to how do we structure ourselves to respond to that uncertainty as well as the uncertainty of not knowing” Join Us Did you enjoy the conversation?

10 years ago I had an idea to create a co-working space. My idea was along the lines of Qantas Club meets your home office. This interview is with a guy who not only had the same idea but has executed with passion and courage. And now … I'm a client of his! Work Club is redefining the whole idea of co-working, serviced offices and business clubs by focusing on the workspace as a whole. Owner and founder Soren Trampedach is passionate about functional design, diversity and furniture. Soren has consulted and continues to consult on workplace optimisation and trends for some really big players like Google, Microsoft and Deloitte so he knows a thing or two about how to create an inspirational place to work. He also has a tonne of courage. Ever since the beginning of Work Club they have remained exclusive, only taking a limited number of people from any given industry. That has meant saying no to a lot of potential clients. Soren reminds his staff that compromising on their values is like peeing in your pants. It might feel nice in the beginning but it soon becomes cold and smelly. In this chat we discuss: Soren's theory on Leonardo DaVinci and diversity Functional design for workspaces The importance of beautiful furniture The art of story telling The importance of intention in every little thing you do The business failings that lead to Work Club The power of a community and his version of TED – The Florence Guild Also, a big thank you to everyone who has tweeted @VirginAustralia about your excitement that your favourite marketing podcast will be aired from 35,000 feet in the air. It's never too late to get excited and I'd love for you to tweet them if you haven't already. I defer a listener question to good friend and original co-host of Australia's best marketing podcastLuke Moulton from Plankton Digital about whether or not you should post videos to Youtube or Facebook. Yep, another big show today. Let's do it! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
