That'll be ASSOCIATE Professor, thank you!
The return of The Floorplan coincides with a promotion to Associate Professor for our favourite organisational behaviour expert. And a richly deserved nod it is! How good!
To kickstart the new series, Matt and Libby discuss the longevity industry boom and its implications and ponder whether Gen X-ers have fair reason to feel a little forgotten.
Also, the stats don't lie when it comes to the ever-growing throng opting for a nomadic working life - and that makes it the perfect moment to catch up with one of our most popular ever interviewees, Ella Cotterell.
About Ella Cotterell
Ella is an online business management consultant and a proud advocate for work on your terms.
She holds a First-Class Honours degree in Psychological Science and is a qualified rehabilitation counsellor. Her background is rooted in mental health, trauma, and recovery— once working alongside veterans and ex-police officers navigating life beyond institutional systems. Over time, her path shifted toward “helping the helpers”—supporting practitioners, creatives, and entrepreneurs building values-led businesses at the intersection of justice, healing, and systems change.
Along the way, Ella retrained as an Online Business Manager (OBM) and Digital Marketer, combining her foundations in psychology and trauma with practical systems expertise.
Ella's relatively late-in-life neurodivergence diagnosis has inspired her to think deeply about creative ways to make work fit life.
