Carrie Goucher

Catch Carrie Goucher on Do Radio: Making Stuff up with Jon Kaye and Alan Wick 25th - 31st May 2026.

Dr Carrie Goucher is the founder of FewerFasterBolder, where she helps organisations rethink the way they meet, collaborate and make decisions.

With 20 years’ experience in organisational culture change and a PhD in systems thinking from Cambridge, Carrie has spent years studying why meetings so often drain the life out of people, teams and businesses - and what it takes to make them useful again. Her work is built on a simple but powerful idea: if you want better meetings, you have to fix the system around them, not just write a better agenda.

Through FewerFasterBolder, Carrie helps teams escape the drag of bloated calendars, endless chat, vague decisions and collaboration theatre. Her approach is about fewer meetings, faster teams and bolder outcomes - giving people back the time, clarity and trust they need to do their best work.

In this conversation, Jon and Alan talk to Carrie about meeting culture, modern work, why collaboration has become so much harder than it needs to be, and how changing the way we gather can change the way we think, decide and lead.

A properly Do Radio conversation: practical, human, and interested in what happens when we stop performing busyness and start paying better attention.
