Here's an idea worth playing with

In this episode, I share the 8 principles that shaped my own career journey — from software tester to executive leader. We’ll explore how to define what thriving looks like for you, make sure your ladder is leaning against the right wall, and understand the critical difference between cost and value.

You’ll learn why communication is your greatest superpower, how to shift your own behaviours for growth, and why strong relationships and clarity matter more than raw talent.

Whether you want to move into management, leadership, or simply build influence in your current role, these principles will help you create impact, earn trust, and unlock opportunities.

I’m Rob Lambert — helping people turn ideas into value through creativity, learning, and communication. “Here’s an Idea Worth Playing With” is where we explore the small sparks that make big systems work better.

What is Here's an idea worth playing with?

Here’s An Idea Worth Playing With is where ideas begin.
In a few quiet minutes, I share the early sparks — the half-formed thoughts, creative hunches, and questions that surface on walks, in notebooks, or in the messy middle of work.

These aren’t polished frameworks or finished stories.
They’re the seeds that grow into them.

A short, thoughtful, maker-minded podcast for anyone who enjoys honest reflections on creativity, work, meaning, and the strange little ideas that tug at your attention.

Simple. Human. Curious.
