The Professional Humans Handbook

No one ever taught us how to be professional humans.

We get flung into the world of work equipped with skills from our vocation or degree, but with little, if any, preparation for the messy reality of working with other humans. How do we navigate competing priorities, give difficult feedback, deal with conflict, own our mistakes, set boundaries, or lead people through uncertainty? We’re simply expected to “figure it out” or “make it work”. That approach sets us—and the people we lead and work alongside, up for failure, missteps and entirely avoidable faux pas. The Professional Humans Handbook is a no-frills guide to showing up better at work: more thoughtfully, more skilfully and more humanly. It’s organised around four central themes, with more than 40 practical lessons available now or coming soon.
