Curious Leadership with Dominic Monkhouse

E220 | Refreshing the World of Work with Hoxby Co-Founders, Alex Hirst & Lizzie Penny

08 Nov 2022

Description

Like most good ideas, the idea for Hoxby, the purpose-led organisation that exists to create a happier, more fulfilled society through a world of work without bias, came to co-founders Alex Hirst and Lizzie Penny, in the pub. Fed up with, and burned out from the traditional way of working, they decided it simply wasn’t what they wanted. So they decided to take matters into their own hands. Fast forward a decade and Alex and Lizzie not only changed the way they work, but they’ve also changed the way their community works too. A community made up of more than 1,000 handpicked, talented and diverse freelancers who work remotely in 30 countries around the world. Alex and Lizzie have recently published a book, Workstyle, about how workstyle is better for wellbeing, improves productivity, and can reshape inclusion for the benefit of society. And in this episode of The Melting Pot, they share why they’re so passionate about autonomy at work, what Hoxby is, the conditions necessary to foster workstyle, and how to create connections remotely. Book recommendationsNatives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire - AkalaRebel Ideas: The Power of Diversity - Matthew SyedLessons in Chemistry - Bonnie GarmusHow The Future Works - Brian ElliottOn today’s podcast:What is Hoxby?Wellbeing, productivity & societyThe three conditions needed to foster workstyle How to implement Workstyle in your organisationHow to create connection remotelyLinks:Book - Workstyle RevolutionTwitter – @ah_hirst, @Lizzie_Penny, @WeAreHoxbyLinkedIn – Alex Hirst, Lizzie PennyWebsite – https://hoxby.com/, Workstyle Revolution
