Oh, hello there, we’re MatterBetter.
MatterBetter exists to understand why work no longer works for so many people… and what comes next.
We're exploring the growing disconnect between work and life through research, conversation, storytelling and lived experience. By listening across generations, industries and perspectives, we're uncovering the assumptions, systems and cultural norms that shape how we work today.
We don't claim to have all the answers. We're asking better questions so we can do our part in building a better future of work.
We look forward to chatting with you.
~ Jane & Amanda
P.S. We’re also available for a limited number of Fractional Partnerships.
Dear Gen Z…
Dear Gen Z is MatterBetter's first editorial series.
Part open letter, part research project and part conversation, it explores what happens when a generation enters a world of work that no longer matches the promises it was built on.
Through stories, observations, questions and lived experiences, Dear Gen Z examines the tensions shaping work, purpose, success and life today.

Beneath the Surface
Facilitated Workplace Conversations
We’re hosting a short series of free, facilitated workplace conversations this July and August, and you’re invited. No slides, no panels and no performative “best practices.” Just real people sharing what they’re actually seeing in the workplace right now.
Every other Wednesday, for 1.5 hours, we’ll open up space around a different theme:
Remote work: what’s working, what’s quietly breaking
Generational dynamics: where friction shows up, and why it’s not just “Gen Z vs everyone else”
The 5-day, 9–5: still fit for purpose, or just familiar?
These aren’t lectures. They’re structured conversations designed to surface patterns, tensions and honest lived experience across industries and roles.
If you’ve been thinking “surely I’m not the only one noticing this,” you’re probably right. Come compare notes.
September 2, 16, 30 2026 | Free to join. Limited spots.
RSVP to helllo@matterbetter.ca and we’ll send you the invite!
Let’s work together
Strategic, senior-level support for organizations
navigating the realities of modern work and outdated systems.
We support founders, leadership teams and growing organizations navigating change.
Work is changing. Expectations are changing. The strategies, systems and structures many organizations rely on haven't kept pace.
We help leaders make sense of what's happening beneath the surface — from culture and communication to strategy and systems — turning complexity into clear, actionable direction.
If something feels off that you can’t quite name, that's usually where we start.
Reach out for a conversation hello@matterbetter.ca
I know, it sounds like a silly question, but seriously. Are you actually comfortable completely disconnecting from work? Or do you remain somewhat "available" to potential fires, answering Slack messages from a beach chair while pretending you’re relaxing?
