In this episode we get meta, as we discuss reimagining the office whilst literally reimagining our own office. Our special guest is eight-month-old Ben Pearson, who joins us to talk about what offices are for, how we can use them in more creative ways that will benefit a wider range of people, and why there aren’t more babies in meetings.

How can we empower employees to drive innovation and creativity in a business? Rich Taunt, Founder of Kaleidoscope Health and Care, talks to Mo about reimagining leadership to be less about telling people what to do and more about enabling them to do their best.

Kindness, says Rich, is key to this approach. Life is too short to work with d*ckheads.

Karen Dobres, Director of Lewes FC, joins Mo and Allegra to talk about how she got involved with the club despite actively disliking football in the past!

Lewes FC is the first football club in the world to pay male and female players equally, and one of very few sports clubs where the men and women play on the same pitch. The club has inspired a book and a social movement, and Karen isn’t stopping there.

Is tech behind the times? With Claire Hopkins, Co-Founder of Ideal

Claire Hopkins is a rather accidental tech entrepreneur. Having co-founded Ideal with her husband, she was shocked by the level of blatant sexism she encountered. After many years running a successful technology company, Claire has come to believe that a lack of inclusion is holding the sector back. 

We talked to Claire about how we can move the tech industry forward, why women don’t want to work in tech, why and how we should move away from a culture of boozy staff outings, and how we can completely redesign the office. 

Plus Mo and Allegra discuss the latest What Fresh Hell Is This? news.

Shyness Superpowers with Nadia Finer, founder of Shy & Mighty

57% of the population are shy – so why are we designing the world around extroverts? Nadia Finer, Founder of Shy & Mighty, is on a mission to help people recognise the power of shy people, and to support those people to get their voices heard. When our society sends out the message that there’s something wrong with being shy – from school days, being forced to raise a hand, to the workplace, where not shouting over people in a meeting can mean not being heard at all – many shy people retreat, and we miss out on their perspectives and ideas. Mo talks to Nadia about why we should want to hear contributions from people who think more than they speak. And people who have been carefully considering the issue before offering an opinion.

Allegra brings us this month’s What Fresh Hell Is This? report.
