If you are actively doing something to make the workplace more human and meaningful, we’d love to share it.
The interview is for Work Revolutionaries (that’s you) to share your insight, perspective, and ideas. It is to inspire and entertain. It should be actionable and focused. We feature startup gurus, entrepreneurs, change agents, and thought leaders at the top of their game.
(This is our nice way of saying that if you want your interview to be featured, it has to be really good. As you know, there is an overwhelming amount of information available online. We — you, me, them, all of us — simply don’t have the time, capacity, or desire to spend time on things that don’t improve our lives in some tangible way.)
Completing this interview is a concrete and visible way for you to contribute to moving the Revolution forward. Take your time and make it amazing.
