Our teaching and research inspired us to write  Rituals for Work in 2019 (Wiley), and Rituals For Virtual Meetings in 2021 (Wiley). 

Work isn’t just about tasks and deadlines—it’s about people, relationships, and the everyday moments that shape culture. In Rituals for Work (2019) and Rituals for Virtual Meetings (2021), we show how small, intentional actions can have a massive impact on team connection, creativity, and performance.

Our books offer a fresh, designerly approach to shaping workplace culture—whether in-person or remote. We break it down into three core lenses:

• Systems Thinking: We map culture as a dynamic landscape of human motivations and work-life moments. Rituals for Work explores five key areas where thoughtful interventions can elevate engagement, from onboarding to innovation sprints.
• Visual Thinking: We turn abstract cultural challenges into tangible, actionable frameworks. With illustrations, templates, and real-world case studies, we make it easy to see how and where to apply rituals for maximum impact.
• Experiential Experimentation: Culture isn’t built through policies—it’s created through lived experiences. We draw from improvisation, theatrical techniques, and behavioral science to design rituals that bring values to life and create lasting change.

Whether you’re a leader, team builder, or innovator looking to make work work better, these books provide practical, research-backed tools to help you create a more connected, resilient, and high-performing workplace.
