A Fresh Way to Understand Work
Most people evaluate work by results — what got done, what moved forward,
what improved. But the lived experience of work is shaped long before the
results show up.
Work Reframe helps you understand what your work is demanding, what it’s
giving back, and where your energy is really going. It turns the
day-to-day experience of work into something you can observe, understand,
and adjust.
When people see their experience clearly, they make better choices,
communicate more effectively, and build sustainable momentum —
individually and together.
Why This Matters Now
Work has been getting faster, more complex, and more fragmented for years. People are handling more inputs, more tools, and more expectations — often with less time to step back and make sense of it.
Too Much Noise
Constant messages, meetings, and shifting priorities make it hard to see what really matters.
Not Enough Clarity
People are working hard, but often without a clear view of the trade-offs, costs, or impact.
Hidden Friction
Small frustrations in how work is set up, shared, and communicated quietly drain energy over time.
Sustainability at Risk
Without a way to see and discuss the experience of work, “pushing through” becomes the norm.
Work Reframe is the beginning of a new conversation about work—one that starts with the individual, honors the complexity of modern life, and puts awareness at the center of performance..
Core Principles of Work Reframe™
These principles reflect how people experience work and how sustainable performance actually takes shape. They are grounded in the Work Frame™ model and its core drivers — Performance, Learning, and Enjoyment.
1. Conditions Shape Potential
The real engine of performance is the internal condition of the person doing the work — their clarity, confidence, energy, and sense of meaning. When these conditions are healthy, potential rises and performance naturally follows.
2. Awareness Is the Accelerator
Progress begins with clarity. When people understand how their work is functioning, patterns of friction and energy loss become visible — and meaningful change becomes possible.
3. Balance Drives Sustainability
Sustainable work happens when Performance, Learning, and Enjoyment are in sync. When they drift apart, Work Drift™ emerges and momentum quietly stalls.
4. Small Shifts Create Big Momentum
Meaningful improvement rarely comes from sweeping changes. It comes from small, targeted adjustments that reduce drag, restore clarity, and rebuild energy.
5. People Lead Their Own Engagement
Engagement isn’t handed down by managers. It grows from within when individuals understand their Work Frame™ and take responsibility for shaping their own experience.
For Individuals
A grounded way to see what’s shaping your experience of work — where you feel stretched, where things feel heavy, and where the opportunities for sustainable progress really are.
For Teams & Leaders
A way to understand the conditions around the work — clarity, communication, load, flow, and connection — so that improvements are meaningful, aligned, and actually felt.
Inspired by the Inner Game
The assessment is informed by the pioneering insights of Tim Gallwey’s Inner Game, which revealed that performance is shaped not only by effort, but by the levels of learning, enjoyment, and internal interference we bring to our work. Work Reframe adapts those ideas to today’s world—grounded in data, focused on clarity, and built for people navigating modern work on their own terms.
A Framework for Self-Led Engagement
Unlike traditional models that treat “engagement” as something driven by external influence, Work Reframe offers a self-led alternative. This is not about fixing people. It’s about giving them the awareness to work with more intention and less friction.
