In times of uncertainty, the most important thing leaders need to do is make sure their team's goals are directly tied to their organization's noble purpose. But how do we do that? How do we make sure we connect the ‘what'' of our days to the ‘why' that defines our future? In this edition of my “Leadership Espresso Shot” series, I share three questions leaders should be asking themselves to ensure they're staying on track to achieving their shared purpose, and not drifting off-course towards employee disengagement and dissatisfaction.

Today, we're delving into a vital question: What does it truly take to cultivate a purpose-driven, human-centric workplace where every individual's potential is not just acknowledged, but actively nurtured and celebrated? While it may seem obvious that organisations would prioritise a human-first approach, the reality often falls short, with investment in employee development typically reserved for executives, leaders, and high potentials, leaving many behind.  So, as leaders, how do we dismantle outdated hierarchies to ensure that every individual's unique and shared potential is realised?  How do we embrace a more inclusive, purposeful, egalitarian view of our colleagues and co-workers?  And how can technology empower us to ignite all of the above?  To shed light on these questions, we're thrilled to welcome Fiona Vale and Paul Rush, the co-founders of Humanico, who are revolutionising how organisations cultivate their most valuable asset—their employees. Over the last year, Paul and Fi have navigated the unpredictable waves of startup life, gearing up for expansion after a series of successes. They secured nearly $1 million in Seed funding last year and were honoured with the Burning Heroes Award for Global Reach in November. This year, they're poised to expand Humancio's mission globally.  So Humanico's solution is a Human Map - which stands as the world's first digital interactive map of employees. This cloud-based platform visualises employee capabilities and engagement levels in a dashboard, providing data-driven insights that empower executives to optimise their workforce effectively. With disengaged employees costing organisations trillions of dollars in lost productivity annually and workplaces struggling to keep pace with evolving trends, Humanico's AI-powered talent management platform offers a promising solution to enhance employee engagement and retention in today's competitive talent landscape. Having Paul and Fi join me in the studio was an absolute joy as we explored a range of topics, from unlocking human potential to driving organisational transformation with a people-first approach. Our conversation spanned purpose, diversity, and inclusion, as well as the transformative potential of community building.  We also examined the surprising ways in which AI and technology can amplify human connection and experience. Throughout our discussion, Fi and Paul shared invaluable insights and highlights from their remarkable entrepreneurial journey. I'm confident you'll find this conversation as enlightening as I did.

Ben Erskine, Partner at Sovereign's Capital shares that when we share a common purpose with others it brings a corresponding motivation and alignment with them. It also brings greater results.

Aaron Hurst is the best-selling author of The Purpose Economy and founder of the workforce engagement platform Imperative and nonprofit Taproot Foundation. Learn about the power of purpose, how to build a culture of meaning, and the next step in his social impact legacy, Shared Purpose, retreats and dinners for friends, couples, and colleagues to clarify their purpose and vision for the next chapter in their lives. About Aaron Aaron Hurst is an award-winning social entrepreneur who uses curiosity, creativity, courage, and care to navigate the world with purpose. He founded the Taproot Foundation, Imperative, Board.dev, and Shared Purpose. More importantly, he is a husband, father, and friend. In 2013, co-founded and led Imperative, a venture-backed start-up, that developed the first employee purpose profiling technology that has enabled hundreds of thousands of people to discover and own their purpose at work. In 2020, he re-launched the company, creating the first enterprise peer coaching platform which has become a critical way to connect and develop employees in the hybrid workplace. In 2001, he founded the Taproot Foundation, where he catalyzed the $15 billion pro bono service market in the US and helped establish markets in over 30 countries. The nonprofit was one of the pioneers in building cross-sector partnerships and helped accelerate the growth of corporate social responsibility. Aaron's best-selling 2014 book, The Purpose Economy, predicted the rise of purpose as a leading driver of economic growth and innovation. He coined the term ‘Purpose Mindset' and in partnership with NYU developed the first commercial measure of employee fulfillment. He has led national and global studies on purpose in the workplace and in higher education in partnership with leading corporations and universities. Key Takeaways The Purpose Economy was based on Taproot Foundation—a pro bono service to help business professionals use their skills to help nonprofits. The book makes the business case that purpose and meaning drive innovation and economic value creation. A key to having a sense of purpose and meaning in your life is strong relationships. Meaningful relationships and the need for purpose and meaning these are two of the biggest predictors of life span and quality of life. Research shows women over 55 are especially likely to have a purpose mindset. A purpose mindset is related to the strongest leaders with the highest performance. There is a strong case that people over 55 are the best employees. Recognition of the value of older people is a major opportunity for employers. At a Shared Purpose Retreat, attendees come with a “co pilot” – a spouse, sibling, or friend to share the experience and language. The co-pilot accelerates your ability to be vulnerable.

I'm so excited to have a good friend of mine, Richard Tripp, on our podcast this month. Richard has extensive experience as a Chief Product Officer for several tech companies and currently serves numerous companies as an advisor and consultant. Richard has been tremendously helpful to us here at Teamalytics as a sounding board and resource over the years. And in our conversation today, we dive into the concept of Shared Purpose. What is it? Why it has the power to transform your team's ability to work together and deliver exceptional results, and probably most importantly, how to build it as a leader on your team. I hope you take away as much from this podcast as I did.

Pastor Josh Rhone preaches on January 22, 2023, at Zion Church, a United Methodist congregation, in York, Pennsylvania. This weekend we look at Nehemiah 3. The walls and gates of Jerusalem lie in ruin. Nehemiah is cupbearer to King Artaxerxes I, of Persia. Although he was born in captivity and despite having never been to Jerusalem, Nehemiah's heart breaks over the brokenness that has been reported. God stirs his heart. Nehemiah has the courage to care. He not only weeps over the situation and cries out to God, but he experiences God's leading. So he, with vulnerability, shares his concern with the king; requests safe passage and supplies; and has the courage to leave all behind to go. In today's Scripture, Nehemiah journeys to Jerusalem and, in so doing, faces opposition. Yet, he doesn't allow the opposition to get the better of him and he doesn't allow the opposition to stop him in his tracks. Today, we look at how a community, of diverse gifts and skills, joins with Nehemiah in the work of rebuilding the walls. Goldsmiths and perfume-makers; priests and homeowners and daughters –– all join in this work. When God is doing a new thing, it includes everyone! To financially support the ministries of Zion Church, you can make a one-time donation or set up a recurring gift by visiting Zion Church's online giving page.

Nick O'Flaherty is the director of UNSTUCK, a nonprofit that partners with businesses, harnessing the power of the market and leveraging global supply chains to create sustainable change.   UNSTUCK is the Tent Partnership for Refugees' first consumer-facing initiative. UNSTUCK generates job opportunities for refugees by working with brands to develop products made with ingredients that are sourced from suppliers hiring refugees. The more products a brand sells, the more ingredients they source, the more jobs for refugees that are created. These are legal jobs that rebuild families and communities while providing dignity and financial security through work. Rather than the traditional "donating a share of profits" approach, UNSTUCK brands can create more inclusive societies by rethinking where they source from. The impact they make is sustainable - because it's a part of their everyday business.   If you would like to learn more about how your company can leverage its supply chain to help refugees and other vulnerable communities, Nick would love to hear from you. Email him here.   In this episode we discuss: A shift from philanthropy to scalable, business integrated change The estimated economic benefit Venezuelan refugees will bring to Colombia How a partnership with UNSTUCK can support your diversity and inclusion efforts Target host countries to integrate refugees into your global supply chain   Key Takeaways: Having a unifying goal across a supply chain, rooted in a higher-order emotional benefit, can transform the relationship between brands and suppliers. When you're not only working to create a great product, but you're also partnering to transform lives and build communities through economic empowerment, the conversation changes. Both engagement and collaboration increase. Often conversations around refugees are rooted in a scarcity mindset—a fear that refugees will take jobs and resources, and hurt the livelihood of locals. As a result, oftentimes refugees are isolated in refugee camps and not given the right to work. With the duration of displacement of refugees increasing to an average of 20 years, isolation is a huge loss for the refugees as well as the host countries. Colombia is pioneering a new model for integrating migrants and refugees, granting them protection status for 10 years, the right to access formal employment, and access to essential services. Colombia's approach to the Venezuelan humanitarian crisis is a human approach that's also a good economic decision. This approach not only reduces their dependency on international humanitarian assistance, but is also expected to contribute to the country's post-COVID recovery and future economic growth. Remember, a rising tide lifts all boats.  Scarcity is rooted in fear and closes us off from innovating new and better ways of doing things, but openness creates limitless opportunities through collaboration.   Note: this episode as recorded in February 2022, before the Russian invasion of Ukraine.   References: UNSTUCK LinkedIn Instagram Twitter Facebook   Tent Partnership for Refugees UNHCR article on hiring refugee hiring programs by brands such as Sodexo and IKEA Ben & Jerry's Ice Academy     Connect & Share: If you enjoy the podcast, would you please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes?

Episode 19, Segment 1 of 3 – Dr. Vivienne Ming – A Shared Purpose Trident Room Host Mike Wish sits down and has a conversation with philanthropica mad scientist Dr. Vivienne Ming. This episode was recorded on August 24, 2021. Dr. Vivienne Ming explores maximizing human capacity as a theoretical neuroscientist, delusional inventor, and demented author. Over her career she's founded 6 startups, been chief scientist at 2 others, and launched the “mad science incubator", Soco's Labs, where she explores seemingly intractable problems—from a lone child's disability to global economic inclusion—for free. Vivienne's other companies apply machine learning to lessen the corrosive health effects of chronic stress in communities, fight bias in hiring and promotion, develop Neurotechnologies to treat dementia and TBI, and promote learning at home and in school. As a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley's Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience, she pursued her research in researching neuroprosthetics. In her free time, Vivienne designs AI systems to treat her son's diabetes, predict manic episodes in bipolar sufferers, and reunite orphan refugees with extended family members. For relaxation, she writes science fiction and spends time with her wife and children. Vivienne was named “10 Women to Watch in Tech” by Inc. Magazine and one of the BBC's 100 Women in 2017. She is featured frequently for her research and inventions in The Financial Times, The Atlantic, Quartz Magazine and the New York Times.
