Wrike-Up Wednesday: Fictional Coworker! 🧞‍♂️

My favorite: Sherlock Holmes.

Analytical precision with relentless curiosity.

Also his mindset: discipline, observation and the refusal to be satisfied with easy answers.

I would have the 3 fairies from Sleeping Beauty - practical and fun little ladies - brining sparks of joy into everything they do!!  <3 

Hermione Granger from Harry Potter! 

She's smart, super organized, and I'm sure she knows a spell or two that can clean up our account and get it running smoothly! 🪄

The first character that came to mind was Garnet from Steven Universe (likely because I started a rewatch of the show), she's a great leader with a lot of strength, calmness, and empathy. Also a very cool style :D

If I could work with any fictional character, I’d pick Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation.

She’s the ultimate blend of motivation, optimism, and strategic thinking — someone who can rally a team around any goal while keeping the mood positive. Her energy and commitment to making her community better would make even the toughest projects feel meaningful and fun.

I would love to have Sherlock Holmes on my team. It would be so nice to have someone who can assess the situation and clearly see a solution. And of course the occasional disguise to keep us on our toes is another bonus. 

Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy! He's selfless, agile, adapts to meet his circumstances, and is so cute when he's little. He's a man (tree) of few words, but he gets his point across. 

Leia Organa. She’s a strong leader who balances strategy with empathy, knows how to handle pressure, and inspires everyone around her. Having her on the team would raise the bar for collaboration and determination.

I think Mike from Mayor of Kingstown would be a good addition to the team.  Someone who can bridge many groups together, problem solve as well has having great conflict resolution skills.  (it's the show I'm currently watching so is what's fresh in mind)

I would say I would like Morgan from High Potential. She is very observant and an awesome strategist. She is also the life of the party!

I'd love to work with Dr. House, his snarky remarks and witty comments are sure to lighten up most Meetings!

If I could choose any fictional character to join my team as a coworker, I’d pick Groot from the Marvel universe. Groot would be the perfect office mate! He’s calm, friendly, and completely drama-free—bringing nothing but good vibes to the team. He’s also loyal and cooperative, so you could always count on him to have your back. Plus, he’s a living tree with super strength! We’d dominate every competition at the company picnic—tug-of-war, sack races, you name it. Groot’s got us covered!

I’d choose Saul Goodman. Might need to keep the ethics in check, but he’d be extremely useful for wrangling chaos, inception-ing ideas, and convincing stakeholders to get on board. Also, highly entertaining.

I'd welcome Puddleglum from Narnia on my team anytime. (Think Eeyore from Winnie-the-Pooh, but in the form of a tall, tough, amphibious Marshwiggle with a grim Scandinavian outlook.) Then I'd never be the most melancholy team member, and we'd all benefit from his realistic, practical insights and loyal self-sacrifice - especially in a pinch.

I'm taking it back to the 80's with the original MacGyver, "a top agent for the Phoenix Foundation, a progressive agency devoted to righting the wrongs of the world."

I’d pick Tony Stark for his genius-level problem-solving skills and innovative mindset. He’d automate half my workflows in Wrike and still have time to crack jokes that make every meeting unforgettable.

I would say Jennifer Barkley from Parks and Rec. She's funny and she gets things done.

Vince Clark from 15 storeys high. If you know that show you know.
He would be hilarious in the office and bring everyone's mood up. He is also a solutions man who would come up with simple solutions to the problems.

Dwight Schrute would certainly keep things interesting!

Kevin from The Office, need that amount of chill, while working in pressure situations.

Since I design mostly Bluey homeware... I'd go for Bluey's mum, Chilli. She's kind and fun, but gets the job done through patience and understanding.

I would love to work with Sherlock Holmes! I feel like he would help me hone my observational skills and find clever solutions.

I'd pick Barbra from Abbott Elementary. She's funny, wise, and knows how to fix a problem. 

I chose Miss Scarlet She is great at solving things and would be a asset to any team! 

Don Draper! He’s a talented, confident man on the outside, but deep down he’s lost and searching for something real.

Jimmy Neutron – Boy Genius

• Tech Strengths: Inventing, coding, problem-solving
• Why he might click: He’s a classic cartoon tech prodigy. If you need someone who can build a server from a toaster, Jimmy’s your guy.

Geralt of Rivia

I mean why not?

Maurice Moss from the IT Crowd. Super smart, hard working, awkwardly funny, and all-around good person!

Samwise Gamgee from LOTR! He makes everyone around him better and zero drama with maximum dedication.

The Queen of Thorns Olenna Tyrell (Game of Thrones) - she is an incredibly caring grandmother who is also very intelligent, funny, and sarcastic.  Also ruthless when needed.
