Description

What if work actually worked for you?

In this episode, Kathy is joined by Lizzie Penny and Alex Hirst-founders of Hoxby and authors of Workstyle: A Revolution for Wellbeing, Productivity and Society. Their mission? To flip the script on how, when, and where we work, so life comes first and work fits around it (yes, even if that means getting your nails done at 9:30 on a Monday).

They talk about the “Triangle of Opportunity” that started their movement, why productivity can increase when you work to your own rhythm, and why work needs a total rebrand - from “toil” to something you might actually enjoy.

They share their SPR framework, their three golden rules, and how autonomy doesn’t have to descend into anarchy (even when Slack is your office).

Expect cocktail references, practical tips, and plenty of examples of how Workstyle is helping people, from freelancers to corporate teams, ditch the 9-5 straitjacket and find a way of working that really works.
