Ep.84 – Rewriting the Rules of Work
Mich Bondesio introduces “Rewriting the Rules of Work”, the theme for season 14 of the Creating Cadence Podcast, and shares updates after the summer break from podcasting.
Episode 84 – Intro to Season 14’s Theme
Season 14 of Creating Cadence begins with a call to reimagine how we work, lead, and grow our businesses in today’s complex world.
In this episode, Mich Bondesio shares updates from her summer — including trialling a 4-day week cycle, launching her Substack, designing October masterclasses, and starting a long-planned fiction project.
She also introduces the theme for the new season: Rewriting the Rules of Work.
Mich explores why traditional work norms are collapsing under the pressures of burnout, ecological crises, AI, and cultural shifts — and why it’s time to design new systems that support people, planet, and profit.
Across the season, we unpack three key levers for change:
- Redefining leadership as a Chief Energy Officer
- Creating productivity that replenishes
- Embedding sustainability into business strategy
This season you can expect solo episodes and insightful interviews with experts in psychology, sustainability, and behaviour change.
