This is It's Sleep, Work, Repeat, is a podcast about making work better.

Hello, I'm Bruce Taisley.

One of the most frequent guests on the show has been the writer, Daniel Coyle.

A lot of listeners might have read his book, The Culture Code, or the Talent Code.

He also did the Culture Code playbook

a couple of years ago, which helps turn the themes of the Culture Code into sort of practical

actions and interventions. He's got a brand new book out called Flourish. It sort of takes some

of the themes that he's explored before and sort of has an application for them that transcends the

workplace to a large extent. He sort of talks about really themes of attention, about

connection with other people. It's a really compelling read. It goes into the personal,

it goes into brilliantly articulated examples of different firms. And I always

find chatting to Dan, especially Daniel, I call him Dan a couple of times in the episode and his name's

Daniel. Apologies for that. I said to him at the end, shouldn't I call you, Daniel. Anyway,

he was all right about it, don't you worry about it. Anyway, but I chat to Daniel. The fact he's got access point to some of these incredible sports teams and organisations, it gives you a really powerful insight, I think, into the practicalities of making cultural interventions work.

It's actually a really powerful discussion, a really good

discussion where we go into some of the specificity really of how you might take the themes of

attention that he's talking about and bring them to a contemporary workplace, beset with sort of

constant messaging and demand, how you might implement that, or how you might sort of think about

the idea of group flow and bringing group flow to your own team and your own organization.

Always brilliant to chat to Daniel Coyle.

This is my conversation with him about his new book, Flourish.

Dan, thank you so much for joining me.
