We pivoted into just the corporate world, from that gift giving service, and started to innovate around recognition and what it could be in culture management, in creating community and culture in companies.ĮM: So for me, it’s just a part of my make-up. And so we realized that this is where you could build a scalable business, and that’s where it all started. And so that was just the way my brain worked and eventually, I started Workhuman.ĮM: We had the idea for a global gift giving service for consumers and for businesses, but what happened was businesses latched on to it and started to use that service for incentives and recognition programs for their employees. And that’s why I wanted to be an entrepreneur from a very early age, always thinking about business ideas, always looking at advertisements on the television, trying to figure out why they were doing what they were doing and saying what they were saying. So it’s one of the things that drove me to do more and escape and it was something that has pushed me my whole life. I went from age seven to age 40 and yet you end up with a drive to break out of that and never go back.ĮM: People often say, “Oh, we were poor but we didn’t know it.” Well, I knew it at the time and I knew I never wanted to go back there. So when you’ve gone through that period of time, it kind of ages you. And of course it was very difficult for my mother at the time as well because we didn’t have any money. And so we had this weight to carry, this shame of that kind of upbringing. It was like a burden that myself and my sister had. And one of my earliest memories… I think I was seven and I was at the bottom of the stairs, and I saw my dad come down the stairs with two suitcases, and it’s like it’s been tattooed on my brain, that image.ĮM: When I think back on it, I think, “How did they let me see that?” Well, it was a very different time and what happened then is… And in Dublin, in late ’70s and ’80s, there was no marriage breakup, and so we had to hide it. My mother and father split up when I was probably six or seven. And I was always very interested in computers and technology but I was always trying to break out… When I look back on it now, it was very modest circumstances. I grew up in Dublin, came from pretty humble area of Dublin and had a very modest upbringing, and went into an engineering degree, electronic engineering. So I know you from attending some of your events, which I’ve loved, but tell me how you ended up here writing a book, a manifesto, as you say, about the importance of making work human?ĮM: I suppose my background… As you can tell from my accent, which I still have, I live in the Boston area for the past 15 years. I know you because I have spoken at several Workhuman conferences and I have the reigning title of Workhumany, that my work is very Workhumany, which I take as a huge compliment because you were inviting bleeding edge speakers and thinkers way before other people around race, around gender, around courage and vulnerability and shame. Let’s get started.īB: I’ve got a million questions for you and we have one hour, but I want to start with your story and how you got here.īB: Start from the beginning.
