HR isn’t for the faint-hearted.
It’s for people who can handle the horror of finding a toenail in the office kettle.
The Break Room
Where work gets a little more human - and a lot more interesting
Welcome to the quieter corner of the internet where HR isn’t boring, leadership isn’t preachy and workplace culture is treated like the messy, hilarious, deeply human thing it actually is.
If you like your professional development served with:
a side of story-driven chaos
a sprinkle of “oh thank god someone finally said it”
and a generous helping of practical tools you can actually use
…then you’re in the right place.
The Break Room is my fortnightly-ish email for people who want to build better workplaces without turning into a walking policy manual.

What you’ll get inside
(Other than the satisfaction of joining a very excellent club)
Stories that make work make sense
Real-world HR absurdities, stories and experiences, you’ll get narrative-driven insights that stick, because they’re entertaining, not lecturing.
Smart, human takes on leadership & culture
No corporate jargon. No faux-inspirational fluff. Just grounded, grown-up thinking about how people work together and how you can take that back to your workplace.
Occasional surprises
Beta invites. Early access to new toolkits. Anything I’ve cooked up that I think you may like… the good stuff.
Why people stay:
Because it’s the only HR/leadership email that feels like grabbing a coffee with someone who gets it.
Someone who’ll tell you the truth, make you laugh and hand you something useful before you go.
Pull up a chair
Work is too important (and too weird) to navigate alone.
Come join the corner of the internet where we talk about it with humour, honesty and a little bit of chaos.
