Modern work runs on outdated scaffolding.
We help humans stay coherent in the chaos.
"Behaving badly" is what humans do when the system stops making sense. It’s the workarounds, coping moves, role-shifting, emotional duct tape, and quiet shapeshifting people use to survive outdated structures. It’s not rebellion. It’s adaptation.
Humans aren’t broken.
The scaffolding and operating system we’re working inside is.
BBHQ helps people see the truth beneath the absurdity so they can reclaim clarity and coherence again.
"Behaving Badly Better" means seeing the real forces shaping your behavior, noticing how systems distort your instincts, and choosing responses that reflect who you are at your core rather than what the environment pressures you to perform.

We are a satirical research and publishing studio, and home of the BBHQ Coherence Institute™. We investigate how old operating systems, outdated norms, and system logic shape human behavior. Then we turn those insights into reports, stories, labs, and tools that help people reconnect with themselves and each other.
Most people think their struggles mean something is wrong with them. We show you what’s actually happening around you so you can finally understand what’s happening inside you. Through humor, behavioural science, and real-world field research at the Bureau of Behaving Badly, we reveal:
• the hidden logics driving modern work
• why systems create absurd behavior
• where coherence breaks down
• how humans find their way back to what matters

Modern work accelerates faster than people’s internal compass can track.
We help people stay grounded, think clearly, and show up with integrity
in environments that never stop shifting.
At the BBHQ Coherence Institute™, we teach The Reclaim Method™,
a practical operating system for navigating change with clarity,
coherence, and confidence.
Alongside emotional intelligence, people now need
Coherence Intelligence, the ability to stay anchored in who they are while navigating shifting expectations and competing demands.
Coherence happens when your values, thoughts, and actions line up.
We help people make small, intentional shifts that keep them steady
and connected to what matters most.
Our labs and tools blend humour, human-systems insight,
and reflective practice so people can see themselves clearly, read their context accurately, and make choices that reflect who they truly are.
When people understand the patterns shaping behavior, they create workplaces that make more sense for everyone.
We turn insight into practical shifts in communication, expectations, norms, and habits so culture change becomes something
you can actually feel, not just talk about.
Through BB Publishing and the Coherence Institute, we transform workplace investigations into tools, reports, labs, and resources that spark clearer conversations, healthier teams, and human-first leadership.
