Don't Be Dilbert: Survival Tactics for Uninspiring Workplaces
Hi there! If you've landed on this page you've probably watched my presentation at NDC Oslo and are keen to find out a little more about how to avoid "SMondays" - the moment when Sunday stops feeling like a Sunday and the anxiety of Monday kicks in - and boost your inspiration, creativity and happiness in your workplace. Nice work!
I've pulled together a list of reference material that I either directly discussed in my presentation, or alternatively, will assist in you taking that 'next step'. In any case, I hope you'll find the below information useful in helping you on your journey to being happier and more inspired at work - because you don't need to be a Dilbert!
