When you get dressed for work in the morning, are you just putting on your business outfit? Or are you putting on your business mask, too?
For this week’s episode of our podcast, Lavin Voices, we sat down with Bree Groff: in-demand workplace consultant for companies like Microsoft and Pfizer, and author of Today Was Fun: A Book About Work (Seriously). In this clip, she argues that “performative professionalism” is stifling our best ideas—and that ditching the “business mask” is good for our productivity and for our personal happiness.
Bree is the author of Today Was Fun, which Oliver Burkeman (Four Thousand Weeks) calls "exuberant, practical, inspiring, and necessary." She's a dynamic, funny, and down-to-earth keynote speaker whose talks show us not only that great Mondays are possible, but also how to achieve them.
