In 2021, I became the first Australian to win the Thinkers50 Innovation Award, described by the Financial Times as the “Oscars for Management Thinking” (minus the red carpet).
I also host How I Work, the number one–ranking business podcast with over six million downloads, where I interview some of the world’s most successful people about their habits, strategies, and rituals… and sometimes the quirks that keep them sane.
You might have seen my work in Harvard Business Review, The New York Times, Forbes, and Fast Company.
I’ve also written four bestselling books, including the international bestseller Time Wise and my most recent, The Health Habit.

What drives me
I believe work shouldn’t be a daily grind that drains the life out of you. It should leave you energised, fulfilled, and confident in what you’re achieving.
My mission is simple: to make work life not only more effective, but more sustainable, engaging, and, dare I say, enjoyable.
The way I work is shaped by a few core principles…
SCIENCE OVER OPINION.
Everything I teach is grounded in robust psychological research and behavioural science. No trends. No hype. Just proven ideas
PRACTICALITY OVER THEORY.
If you can’t use it tomorrow, I won’t bother teaching it.
CURIOSITY OVER ASSUMPTIONS.
I’m constantly asking questions and exploring what makes people tick
(and thrive).
PLAYFULNESS OVER PRETENCE.
I take my work seriously, but never myself. A dash of wit makes big ideas feel human, relatable, and easier to put into practice.
