Sid Madge discusses a quotation from a 15-year-old schoolboy that inspired the development of the Mee Programme, with Michael Millward.Sid and Michael explore why as individuals we feel pressurised to change ourselves so we can fit in when our best chance of being happy comes from living life authentically.Our system of working, they agree was designed for the Industrial Revolution, and forces people to change themselves to be like everyone else, a cog in the machine.They discuss what employers can do help their employees, and especially education leavers to bring their true self to work.
