This week, I sit down with Kath Blackham, CEO of the revolutionary Australian digital transformation agency VERSA.
She has used VERSA as a platform to move the needle on the things she's most passionate about—mental health in the workplace, diversity, flexibility and using technology for good. She famously instituted a four-day week, anathema within the crazy-hours digital agency sector. By creating a swathe of people-first rituals in her business, retention has gone up, sick days and mental health issues are down, and profit has spiked.
We talk:
- The experiments that failed
- Happiness first
- Mindful check-ins
- Three o'clock walkies
- Building culture remote-first

In this episode of Being Human, I speak with David Woods, a professor at Ohio State University who discovered and pioneered the concept of Graceful Extensibility.
As the opposite of brittleness, graceful extensibility is the ability of a system to extend its capacity to adapt when surprise events challenge its boundaries.
In this episode, we talk:
- Dealing with shock
- The need to stretch at the boundaries
- How all systems are fragile
- Staying alive to 'weak signals'
- How viability requires extensibility

It's more normal for hierarchies to form and for us to defer to authority figures.
