  OUR STORY

Emotive Work was founded with

a simple yet profound purpose —

t​o help people find meaning through service.

And right here is usually where I would include some deep and profound lesson that lead me to where I am today, but life isn’t always like that. In fact, for most people, life is this subtle unfolding of truth that gradually shows you the path ahead, if you create enough space to see it. 

 

For much of my working career, I felt lost between two worlds. The desire to find my calling in my very corporate and material working career, and the desire to want to do good in the world through a less material and philanthropic yearning. And for some reason, in our current culture of competition that has enveloped the world, these feelings and desires feel mutually exclusive and opposing. 

 

What I found is that not only are they NOT opposing forces, but the underlying desire was aligned. I wanted to live a life of purpose and do work that matters, knowing that I was creating impact in my sphere of influence. I wanted to find meaning in my everyday.

 

And in pursuit of this reality, what I learnt is that I am not unique. That this is a very real human yearning for all. We want to create impact and live a life of meaning.

Fast forward through the first 20 years of my work experience, and what I found is that I have an ability to help people connect with their unique abilities and inner purpose, and create intentional cultures for all - whether it is an individual on their own journey, or a business seeking a way to offer their unique service to the world - I can help. 

 

My personal purpose, which is translated into the purpose of my business is “to help people find meaning through service”.

This isn’t an overnight process, but it is possible. And it is what the the people of this world are yearning for. 

 

Our businesses, our lives and our greatest potential are built on relationships; whether that be with self or one another.  And that is what Emotive Work does. It helps people start within, build the foundations of a great relationship with self and others, and create a life of service that has meaning to them and those around them.

What drives behaviour? Our beliefs. These are shaped by our lived experiences and amplified by our (also learnt) daily thought patterns and actions; but it is what we believe and reinforce daily that shapes the culture around us. 

 

Even as a business, this statement remains true. What you collectively believe, what you focus on or ignore, what you say or don’t say, what you are intentional with or unintentional with, all play a role in shaping this repeated behaviour, and therefore this elusive thing called ‘culture’. 

 

At Emotive Work, we focus on the foundations of what create these beliefs; your purpose and values. The WHY (purpose) and HOW (values) of every culture lives here. And it is only through introspection and intentional design that you can create deeper meaning in life and business. 

 

Put Simply, to solve the biggest challenges of today; be that in business - engagement, productivity, retention, relationships, profits - or in your personal life - meaning, joy, gratitude, growth, connection - we must start within and become more intentional in our approach.

OUR APPROACH

How do people want to work?

At Emotive Work, my approach is simple: let’s get back to basics and focus on what we are good at: which is being human. So many people have made culture and development work overcomplicated. 

 

When I help build cultures - whether it is a personal or business culture - I focus on one primary statement: culture is behaviour repeated.
