Episode 3 of The Now Work's new podcast 'The Future of Impact Work' is available now.
Tim Galles is a multi-award winning creative and strategic powerhouse who has spent his career working with clients like Microsoft, GM, The Nature Conservancy, Amazon, HSBC, Reebok, Target, Anheuser-Busch, Nestlé, Kimberly-Clark, Danone and many more.
He co-founded The Beautiful Design Project along with Alan Moore. It’s platform that offers workshops, programs and a rigorous certification "akin to a ‘B Corp for Individuals’, for those world makers, troublemakers, optimists and courageous souls looking to take a turn in their careers, their businesses, their ideas and their future.”
Tim also authored ‘Scratch: how to build a potent modern brand from the inside out’.
In this conversation we dig into how the dominant structures of work have resulted in people working like machines - but by empowering people to reset and reassess their ways of thinking, they can unlock the real creative solutions and find joy in their work, no matter what role they’re in.
This is a great listen for anyone looking to evolve their sustainability work and start to think differently about the problems they’re trying to solve.
