In a world where 63% of employees across 142 countries feel disengaged from their jobs, the quest for meaning in work has never been more crucial. Join us in this thought-provoking podcast episode as we delve into the inspiring journey of the world's happiest workers, guided by two powerful motivators: creating value and service.
In today's digitally-driven landscape, we'll explore how the absence of face-to-face interactions can challenge individuals in their pursuit of meaning at work. Our discussion is packed with insightful takeaways, including the exploration of core concepts such as values, the transformative potential of pivotal moments, and the liberating act of allowing yourself to pivot in your career.
Discover how investing your all in your work isn't always the path to a fulfilling professional life, and learn to follow your fear as a compass towards meaningful endeavors. As the renowned Jim Collins once wisely noted, "For, in the end, it is impossible to have a great life unless it is a meaningful life. And it is very difficult to have a meaningful life without meaningful work."
Tune in to this episode and embark on a journey towards a more purposeful and meaningful work-life.
