TALKPOINT ROUNDTABLE: An invitation…
You are invited to step away from the unrelenting busyness of work and sink into a seat at Talkpoint’s professionally facilitated roundtable meetings. Here, in a dedicated space, you and a diverse peer group have time to reflect, dialogue and access independent thinking. Together, we rediscover the joy of working in alignment with human values. ARE YOU:
Is a new day on the horizon?
Happy New Year! I hope you’ve enjoyed a break over the past few weeks and you’re approaching 2018 with resolve. I’m sure I’m not alone in being inspired by the Golden Globe awards on Sunday. Actors took to the red carpet dressed in black and accompanied by activists. It was such a powerful example of how they […]
It’s time to talk about the elephant in the room
One of Talkpoint’s Guiding Principles is to ‘name the elephants’ and, as Sarah Silverman so eloquently says in her video breaking her silence about her good friend Louis CK, it’s time to talk about “the elephant masturbating in the room“.
You aspire to humanise work, now what?
Perhaps you’ve been inspired by Simon Sinek or Tim Leberecht at their recent Australian tours or perhaps it’s something you have always known (or felt). You’re passionate about putting people first and creating sustainable workplaces that enable every individual, good organisations and society to thrive. You aspire to humanise work, but how do you get others on board?
Humanising Work: What’s the point?
Watching the news is despairing, especially as the Trump administration announces cuts to the EPA, after school programs and meals on wheels. “What on earth is he thinking?” we ask ourselves.

Our intention is not to deny the reality of our busy lives, 24/7 connectivity and having to do […]

Good leadership is the daily practice of putting others first… it’s being human
I’m feeling so inspired after having experienced Simon Sinek and Peter Docker first hand in Sydney yesterday. What I was most struck by was Simon’s conviction that a good leader needs to focus on the human elements of work.
Let’s Talk… It’s the Human Way
This year Talkpoint began an explicit mission to “humanise work” and the response has been resounding. For a while, we have been noticing that the way we are working is not working, and we believe it’s time to reprioritise and contemplate some pointy questions.
#KimmelTalks 2016 Tour Wrap Up
It gives me great pleasure to share with you some of the outcomes of our “ambitious tour” with leading equality teacher, Dr Michael Kimmel. Our aspiration for #KimmelTalks 2016 was to leverage Michael’s message and cause a systemic shift towards gender equality in Australia’s workplaces. To do this, we felt it was important that Michael […]
