Emma goes behind the scenes at London's Natural History Museum, which is an APM Corporate Partner. The museum will celebrate its 150th anniversary in 2031 and has therefore kicked off a programme that includes the creation of six new permanent galleries within the iconic museum building in South Kensington.

The first gallery has already opened, and that's where Emma headed. It's called ‘Fixing Our Broken Planet’ and focuses on the planetary emergency and the solutions that scientists, including those at the Natural History Museum, are working on. Listen to hear Emma interview the project professionals who delivered the new gallery.

Emma visits Elstree Studios, which has been home to TV soap EastEnders since 1985. She goes behind the scenes of a project to create new production and post-production suites from a derelict building and to give actors new dressing rooms and make-up rooms. Get a flavour of what it's like on a construction project in a creative environment with cast and crew filming all around as the project takes shape.

Emma meets Anne Marie Purcell, C-Suite Advisor in Transformational Change in Delivery and Transport; Nermeen Latif, Technical Director of Digital Solutions at WSP; and Glen Kelly, Programme Manager at CoStar Live Lab.

They discuss finding purpose and meaning in your work. For project professionals, a sense of purpose – that you're doing something not just for the bottom line, but also for the bigger impact that you can have – is where they get their motivation.

Listen on for an exploration of what gets project professionals to leap out of bed in the morning. Is it feeling part of a project that leaves the world a better place? Is it about a sense of achievement or fulfilment? Is it working with people? Or is it the challenge of getting stuck into really knotty problems and finding a way around them?
