About People Soup
Grounded in behavioural science, with practical ideas you can actually use. The name People Soup comes from a quote by Abraham Maslow: "A first-rate soup is more creative than a second-rate painting." I've always loved that idea because creativity isn't confined to art. It shows up in how we live, work, lead and relate to one another. Work often feels like a soup: a rich, sometimes bewildering mix of people, personalities, decisions, pressures, relationships and unexpected challenges. Every day we're trying to make sense of the ingredients in front of us. Behavioural science doesn't make work simple, but it does give us better ways of responding to complexity. It offers practical ideas, evidence-based tools and skills that help us respond more effectively—to ourselves, to other people and to the situations we face. That's what People Soup is all about. Whether it's a conversation with a guest or a short solo episode, People Soup explores how behavioural science—and particularly Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)—can help us lead and work with greater intention, developing the psychological flexibility and practical wisdom to navigate whatever life throws our way.

Quick Spoon: Can people be honest with you?
Published 11 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] As a manager, if I want someone to be honest with me when things aren't going well, the relationship I've built with them really matters. If the relationship is based on fear, compliance, or simply getting things right, how much honesty am I really going to get? And that doesn't mean lowering expectations or avoiding difficult conversations. It means creating and maintaining enough trust for the difficult conversation to actually happen. So here's something to try. […]
