Work Wise
A behavioral scientist's weekly field guide to working wisely. Every Thursday, one issue: a real situation from leadership or work, the science underneath it, and one thing you can try before the week is out.
The simplest way to see how I think.
Roughly 800 words, once a week, and then it leaves you alone. The same thinking I bring to the leaders and teams I work with — written down, and free.
Each issue starts where you actually are — in a meeting, a decision, a conversation you have been avoiding — and works one pattern: why it happens to smart people, what the research says, and a practical move. No motivational filler. No seven-step lists for their own sake.
Seeing clearly
Attention, what the work is for, reading the situation.
Patterns under pressure
Bias, reactivity, the stories that narrow you.
How you land
Trust, candor, presence, impact.
Wise action
Decisions, timing, courage, judgment.
PROOF — featured issues (4–6 strongest published) drop in here once selected.
Senior leaders, emerging executives, L&D and people leaders, and thoughtful professionals who suspect that "doing well" and "working well" are not quite the same thing. If that is you, you are in the right place.
A note on the other newsletter: Seeking Wisdom is my separate, more personal project — purpose, meaning, aliveness. If Work Wise is about working wisely, Seeking Wisdom is about living wisely. Read Seeking Wisdom →
