How does coaching actually work?

Good coaching can be a game changer. It can be the difference between a constant state of stress vs. a state of energised optimism; a feeling of being stuck vs. a sense of clarity and direction; or decision-making based on self-doubt and fear vs. confidence. It can also be the…

How to do user research when your user is a heroin addict

Where do we find some heroin addicts to speak to? This was the question that my team and I were faced with when building an opioid treatment program. The answer to that question turned out to be surprising. As a bit of background here, I’ve spent the last 3 years…

Ancient wisdom for modern times — the importance of energy

I’m going to start with a confession here. I’m a walking bag of contradictions. I spent the first two decades of my life nurturing the rational, analytical and scientific parts of me; before some challenges in my early twenties forced me to explore the spiritual side of life and ultimately…

Why your brain holds on to all the s***

Ever wondered why you fall asleep thinking about the one thing that went wrong that day, despite all the good stuff? The answer’s surprisingly simple, our brain has a negativity bias. If you’re a caveman and you make a mistake — let’s say you drink water from a stagnant pool…
