Welcome to the latest installment of Design for An Agile World! Your host Joe had the pleasure of interviewing Cheryl Anderson, the founder of Clarity Coaching & Consulting. Cheryl shared some incredibly valuable tools to help us navigate the challenges of working in an agile world.
In this episode, Cheryl delves into optimizing workplace dynamics and personal growth through three central ideas. First, she introduces the Birkman Assessment, a nuanced language tool that offers a comprehensive understanding of work styles and communication preferences. She advocates for the value of openness and flexibility in our rapidly changing, agile world, suggesting that being rigid in our perspective stifles innovation and growth.
She provides practical tips, like employing group graphs and encouraging candid discussions, to cultivate an open atmosphere. She also underscores the critical role physical environments play in facilitating meaningful conversations.
Cheryl and Joe share experiences in strategically designing spaces to maximize comfort and indirectly foster productive dialogue, emphasizing factors such as proximity, noise, and light levels. Overall, the episode serves as a holistic guide to understanding human behavior and creating environments that promote both productivity and well-being.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
