AI-generated content is often devoid of character and authenticity. By delegating communication and content generation to LLMs, you’re signalling a lack of care, conviction and connection to your audience and consumers. To stand out in a crowd of AI-slop, consider being militantly human.

Are internal comms likely to communicate better than you can? Even if you’re the expert on your topic? This is a nuanced topic - part myth, part possibility!

Narrative based writing is often a superior way to convey ideas at work, compared to slideuments. But despite the overwhelming evidence against slideuments, death by PowerPoint is an enduring workplace phenomenon.

“Scribo ergo sum”. I write, therefore I am. A post about the top three reasons why I write.

If writing is the number one remote working superpower, then we must all get better at it. Here’s how to level up your writing game.

If you want to grow as a professional or a leader, you must stop doing some work, to take up new work. In this post I explain the concept of “metawork”, why it should be explicit and how it can help you scale yourself.

Wait, what? Write in slides? Well, yes. And I’m sure you’ve seen this yourself. Heck, I’ve done it myself as well. Guilty as charged!

If you’ve normalised this approach to writing and sharing information, then I’m here to tell you that you should write differently. That’s what this post is about.

The agile manifesto claims that the best way of communicating in a team, is face-to-face. Does that claim hold up to scrutiny? 21 years after the manifesto came to life, have technology, the nature of our projects and our ways of organising and working taught us something different?

As a team scales, the need for documentation increases in parallel with the cost of not doing it. Daunting as it may seem, a handbook-first approach has many advantages, and will give your team a way to self-govern and self-organise. In this post, I’ll walk you through some ideas about what to include in such a resource and how you can create and maintain it.

There’s no asynchronous work without written communication. It has several benefits over just verbal communication and even over audio and video. This post articulates those benefits and shares some resources you can use to build this remote working superpower.
