Working on Purpose

Why is it so hard to make work work today? This is a phenomenon perplexing companies and the people they employ. Companies want highly engaged, performing people who will stay with them. Employees want a place they can thrive while cultivating their craft and career.

It’s easy to turn to blame in conflicts, moving to anger and issuing blame on others for the divisiveness that is so pervasive today. There is a critical step many people miss, and that is to first look deeply at ourselves – practicing “radical self-inquiry,” and consider the ways any of us have been complicit in, and benefited from, conditions we say we’d like to change or even abhor. Only then can we begin to see and shift the effects of untended, unhealed wounds and beliefs on those we lead.Working on Purpose is broadcast live Tuesdays at 6PM ET.Working on Purpose TV Show is viewed on Talk 4 TV (www.talk4tv.com).Working on Purpose Radio Show is broadcast on W4CY Radio (www.w4cy.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (www.talk4radio.com) on the Talk 4 Media Network (www.talk4media.com).

The core of well-being is nurturing a strong, healthy, resilient mindset. Your brain gets easily tripped up and turned “off” by all the daily distractions and obstacles that pop up. No matter how “smart” you may be, your brain isn’t built to process all the thousands of pieces of information that come at it each day. When your brain feels overwhelmed, it stops its healthy “thinking’ mode and defaults to the more primal “emotional” mode. We are not taught how to coach our brain ON but can learn.Working on Purpose is broadcast live Tuesdays at 6PM ET.Working on Purpose TV Show is viewed on Talk 4 TV (www.talk4tv.com).Working on Purpose Radio Show is broadcast on W4CY Radio (www.w4cy.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (www.talk4radio.com) on the Talk 4 Media Network (www.talk4media.com).

Are you prone to wonder? Can you become completely dazzled by an experience or sight such that time seems to disappear? And in the process, you become elevated consciously and experientially?

Only then, using design thinking principles, can you innovate responsibly, and on purpose, in a way that deeply satisfies who you are out to serve.Working on Purpose is broadcast live Tuesdays at 6PM ET.Working on Purpose TV Show is viewed on Talk 4 TV (www.talk4tv.com).Working on Purpose Radio Show is broadcast on W4CY Radio (www.w4cy.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (www.talk4radio.com) on the Talk 4 Media Network (www.talk4media.com).

The term “purpose” has been deployed superficially by companies in an attempt to appear virtuous without using it as a core operational principle. Instead, companies that treat purpose as an existential intention that informs every decision, practice, and process are thriving in today’s times where business can be a force for good in the world. This new breed of stakeholder capitalism adopts purpose as their operating system, perceiving it as a vital animating force with near-spiritual power.Working on Purpose is broadcast live Tuesdays at 6PM ET.Working on Purpose TV Show is viewed on Talk 4 TV (www.talk4tv.com).Working on Purpose Radio Show is broadcast on W4CY Radio (www.w4cy.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (www.talk4radio.com) on the Talk 4 Media Network (www.talk4media.com).

How would your life change if every decision and action you take were predicated on the knowledge that they were all completely transparent and visible to anyone? Would you treat people differently, do business better, and make money with an alternate governing lens that you do today?

He dares to say that our world would radically improve.Working on Purpose is broadcast live Tuesdays at 6PM ET.Working on Purpose TV Show is viewed on Talk 4 TV (www.talk4tv.com).Working on Purpose Radio Show is broadcast on W4CY Radio (www.w4cy.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (www.talk4radio.com) on the Talk 4 Media Network (www.talk4media.com).

The extent to which people feel they matter at work greatly impacts their motivation and well-being, critical components to engagement, performance, and retention. The question is how leaders can create an environment and interactions that recognize and show people they matter. It turns out there’s a lot to the business of mattering – why it’s important, how it is registered, what leaders need for themselves to recognize it, and how they can learn to communicate it - all topics of this episode.Working on Purpose is broadcast live Tuesdays at 6PM ET.Working on Purpose TV Show is viewed on Talk 4 TV (www.talk4tv.com).Working on Purpose Radio Show is broadcast on W4CY Radio (www.w4cy.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (www.talk4radio.com) on the Talk 4 Media Network (www.talk4media.com).
