What if work did not have to suck? In this episode of The Few Leaders: Speaker Series, I sit down with Josh Allan Dykstra, a future of work strategist helping leaders and organisations rethink how we work in an age of disruption. Josh shares why most workplaces drain energy instead of fuelling it, and how leaders can redesign work so it becomes energising, purposeful, and ready for the future.

Together, we explore the hidden systems shaping our experience of work, the power of Energy Intelligence, and why mindset alone is not enough without action. Josh unpacks how to create flow, anchor teams in purpose, and face AI with curiosity instead of fear. This is a practical and inspiring conversation for any leader looking to adapt, thrive, and guide others through inevitable change.
