Ross Reekie has spent two decades working with leadership teams on meaningful work and culture.
His work is underpinned by academic rigour and anchored by the Fun Jobs Project — a live experiment he ran on himself after burning out as a meaningful work expert.
Taking roles from ski instructor to stand-up comedian to opera extra, he built a model of engagement that treats curiosity and connection as performance inputs, not wellbeing initiatives. It is research that lands with operating leaders who have stopped believing engagement programmes pay back.
He has brought that work to TEDx stages at Monash and Glasgow Caledonian, the Urban Future Global Conference, and private leadership rooms across two continents. His keynotes run as live, interactive sessions — with props and audience experiments built in — designed for CHROs, people leaders, and executive teams trying to make a credible case for culture change at board level.
