What does it mean to build a workplace culture that people want to join? In this episode, Kevin talks with Jennifer Moss about this important leadership question. They discuss the societal shift in how we view work, the psychological idea of mortality salience, and how these concepts are influencing employee expectations today. Jennifer also shares the basic elements of a strong work culture: inspiring hope, creating purpose, and fostering genuine community, whether your team works remotely, in a hybrid setting, or in-person. Additionally, Jennifer challenges the one-size-fits-all approach to office mandates and presents an alternative idea of the workplace as a “third place” where creativity and collaboration can flourish.

When we think about fixing burnout, most conversations start with purpose, work design, or leadership. But according to Jennifer Moss, the real starting point is hope.

*Audio problem now fixed! Pick up from 25min where the audio problem occurredJennifer Moss joins me to discuss the profound shifts in the workplace over the last decade and the impact they've had on our wellbeing. She shares compelling evidence that happier employees enhance the bottom line, making it clear that investing in effective wellbeing strategies is not just logical but essential. Jen emphasises the importance of getting the foundational elements right, like psychological safety and fair pay, rather than the typical perks that often miss the mark. Jen has the lowdown on whether workplace satisfaction varies across generations, what the optimal model is for hybrid working, and strategies that individuals can apply to enhance their workplace happiness. If you're feeling overwhelmed or unfulfilled at work, tune in for actionable steps you can take to regain control and advocate for your own happiness, or to create a thriving workplace for your team. TakeawaysHappiness at work depends heavily on foundational needs being met, not perks.Generational differences impact attitudes to work and motivational drivers.There is an optimal model for hybrid work that enhances employee engagement but most organisations are getting it wrong.Leadership plays a crucial role in shaping workplace happiness and culture but individuals can take proactive steps to improve their work satisfaction.Relationships at work significantly affect overall well-being and job satisfaction.Creating a culture of kindness is key to enhancing employee morale and productivity.Connect with Jen:https://www.jennifer-moss.com/Jen's latest book:Why Are We Here?

If a factory machine breaks, leadership responds within hours. If a system glitch halts production, it's triaged immediately.But when a team's morale is tanking, the response takes 6–12 months—if it comes at all. How did we get to a point where our physical assets get more respect than our human ones? We've spent years treating burnout like a solo thing to fix when it's actually an organizational problem.In this episode of the Happiness Squad Podcast, Ashish Kothari and Jennifer Moss tackle this problem head on, and discuss what it truly takes to build happy, healthy organizations.Jennifer Moss is an award-winning journalist, international speaker, and workplace culture strategist. She co-founded Plasticity Labs and is the author of Why Are We Here?, and The Burnout Epidemic (Harvard Business Review Press, 2021), which was named one of the 10 Best New Management Books by Thinkers50 and shortlisted for the 2021 OWL Literary Award. A regular contributor to Harvard Business Review, Fast Company, Forbes, and Fortune, she's renowned for reframing burnout as an organizational rather than individual issue.In the conversation, Ashish and Jennifer unpack the evolution of happiness at work, from early “choose happiness” mantras to a more nuanced understanding of systemic well-being.Things you will also learn from the episode:• Rethinking the phrase “Happiness is a Choice”• How both individual practices and organizational design influence happiness• The problem of blaming individuals for burnout instead of fixing workplace environments• Understanding the concept of the “continuum of well-being”• The Role of AI in Happiness and the Future of WorkStop waiting for the next annual survey.

“Emanations” 30th-anniversary reflections Having failed to learn their lesson about roaming around in strange caves, a landing party from Voyager investigates an asteroid when they think they've discovered an unknown element. Instead of minerals, they find bodies—18 of them—and lose one of their own: Harry Kim. The eager ensign finds himself trapped in a coffin on an alien planet. What's worse is that the planet is nowhere near the asteroid. In fact, it's in another dimension. How will he get back? And what secrets of life, the universe, and everything will Janeway and her crew reveal to the poor alien woman who woke up on Voyager? In this episode of To The Journey, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 30th-anniversary retrospective that will take you through all of Star Trek: Voyager, one episode at a time. In this installment, we discuss “Emanations,” the exploration of aging and death, disregard for the Prime Directive, and cocoons. Chapters Intro (00:00:00) Why Are We Here?!

Jennifer Moss discusses her book "Why Are We Here? Creating a Work Culture Everyone Wants," exploring how the pandemic triggered a collective existential crisis about work. She emphasizes that meaningful workplace cultures can be built through small, intentional practices rather than major overhauls, focusing on hope, purpose, and community to combat burnout and disengagement in today's rapidly changing work environment.   TAKEAWAYS Building hope through regular goal-setting and celebrating small wins helps combat workplace anxiety and burnout Flexibility should be treated as a right rather than a perk, with organizations using "pull" strategies rather than mandates Creating community requires authentic connection through simple practices like 20-minute check-ins and positive colleague recognition   A QUICK GLIMPSE INTO OUR PODCAST

We spoke with Jennifer Moss, the author of "Why Are We Here?" to take a look at some of the reasons why.

Welcome to episode #976 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Jennifer Moss has been a guiding voice in the evolving conversation around workplace culture, burnout, and what it truly means to find purpose in our work. Her latest book, Why Are We Here? – Creating A Work Culture Everyone Wants, takes a deep dive into how work has changed - sometimes for the better, often for the worse - and what leaders can do to fix it. Jennifer is also the author of The Burnout Epidemic and Unlocking Happiness At Work. In this conversation, Jennifer and I explore the shifting motivations of employees post-pandemic, the growing tension around remote and hybrid work, and why so many people are feeling disengaged in their careers. She shares insights from her extensive research, highlighting the erosion of trust between employers and employees, the disconnect between ideal career expectations and workplace reality, and the impact of AI on job security. We also discuss why organizations need to rethink productivity metrics, prioritize autonomy, and create spaces for in-person connection, even in remote work environments. Jennifer doesn't just diagnose the problems - she offers real solutions, drawing on examples of companies that are getting it right. As the workplace continues to evolve, her research and advice couldn't be more timely. If you're wondering how to build (or rebuild) a work culture that people actually want to be a part of, this is for you. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 1:05:21.

On today's episode of Allyship in Action, we're diving deep into the heart of purpose and well-being in the workplace with the insightful Jennifer Moss. Author of the brilliant book, "Why Are We Here?", Jennifer's work is a breath of fresh air tackling the often-overlooked aspects of what truly motivates us and how we can create a more fulfilling work experience. As someone who's spent years navigating the choppy waters of work-life balance and purpose, I can't wait to share the gems we unearthed in this conversation! Jennifer's insights are like a warm, comforting cup of tea on a chilly day – they soothe the soul and inspire action. Jennifer shares: The Existential Wake-Up Call: The pandemic forced many of us to confront our own mortality, triggering a re-evaluation of our priorities. This has led to a shift away from simply tolerating work towards seeking out roles that provide a sense of meaning and contribution. The Purpose Gap: There's a disconnect between how senior leaders and employees perceive purpose in their work. Bridging this gap requires connecting daily tasks with individual values and motivations, making even mundane activities feel more meaningful. FOBO and the Rise of AI: The fear of becoming obsolete (FOBO), particularly with the rise of AI, is creating anxiety among employees. Organizations need to address these fears with empathy, compassion, and clear communication about the future of work. The Power of Vulnerability: Leaders must be willing to acknowledge that they don't have all the answers, especially in this rapidly changing world. Embracing vulnerability and fostering a culture of continuous learning is crucial for navigating the complexities of the modern workplace. Gender Inequality Persists: Despite some progress, gender inequality remains a significant challenge. Organizations need to address pay gaps, provide adequate support for women at all career stages, and create inclusive policies that promote work-life balance. Actionable Takeaway: Take some time for introspection. Identify what truly motivates you and how your values align with your work. If there's a disconnect, explore ways to bridge that gap, either within your current role or by seeking out new opportunities that better align with your purpose. Remember, work doesn't have to be just a means to an end; it can be a source of fulfillment and contribution to something greater than yourself. Insightful Quotes: "Life is short. We're going to lean into the things that make us feel like we're adding value to the world." - Jennifer Moss "People don't actually really care about the mission statement as much as the senior leaders do. There's a huge purpose gap." - Jennifer Moss "This is not the future of work. We've literally entered a new timeline." - Jennifer Moss "If you're a really good leader, you have humility. You are agile." - Jennifer Moss "This is a great opportunity to reinvent work and free our capacity with AI so that we can do more of this purpose-driven, people-centric work." - Julie Kratz Find Jennifer at https://www.jennifer-moss.com/ and Julie at https://www.nextpivotpoint.com/

LEADER GUIDE FOR MESSAGE 3: Why Are We Here?

Matt Cutler is the founder of Blocknative and the combination of a fantastic storyteller and a fantastic data analyst. Blocknative is not his first company, It's his fifth. Matt's first company was an internet company that he started in the 90s well before the dot com boom and he founded a company in every major internet era since. In today's Bankless Summit talk, we hear from Matt's experience and wisdom so we can learn how the rise of blockchain technology contrasts with the rise of the Internet and why we are here in the first place. ------

Kingdom Stories: Wheat and Weeds Matthew 13:24-30 For the bulletin in PDF form, click here. The Parable How Did We Get Here? What is Wrong? Why Are We Here? Where Are We Going?This Week's Growth GuideGod's Word is both central and critical to your spiritual growth. We invite you to utilize the Growth Guide during the week to further your application of the Truth from the message.•. Monday - Genesis 1-2•. Tuesday - Genesis 3-4•. Wednesday - Genesis 5-6•. Thursday - Genesis 7-8•. Friday - Genesis 9-11Home Church Questions 1. Have someone read the parable in Matt. 13:24-30. According to Matt. 13:36-43, what is this parable about?2. The lessons we learn from this parable help explain the Christian worldview. What is a worldview? Why is it important we understand what a worldview is?3. The first question that informs our worldview is: “how did we get here?” How does the Christian worldview explain how we got here and what are some examples of other worldviews that would answer this question differently? What difference should this make in our lives?4. The second question that informs our worldview is: “what is wrong?” In the parable, the enemy sows weeds in the good field. According to the Christian worldview, what is wrong? What is an example of a way you are experiencing the "weeds" of this broken world?5. The third question that informs our worldview is: “why are we here?” The Christian worldview says there is still meaning and purpose even though we live in a fallen world. What is the meaning/purpose of life according to the Christian worldview? What difference should this make in our lives?6. What are some reasons God allows us to remain in a fallen world with pain and suffering and weeds? How might your answer help you respond to the “weeds” you are experiencing right now?7. The fourth question that informs our worldview is: “where are we going?” According to this parable and the Christian worldview, what happens in the end? How is this different from other worldviews? What difference should this make in our lives?8. Who can you talk with about these big questions in hopes of talking about the Gospel? Which of the four questions do you think you would be most likely to “lean into” as you are talking with someone? Why? Mission Highlight - Pray for the Unreached: The Pashtun in Pakistan The Pashtun population stands at 32.7 million, with Islam as the predominant religion and Northern Pashto as the primary language. Christians constitute less than 0.1% of the population. Both written and oral versions of the complete Bible are available, but no movements of the gospel have been reported. Approximately 654 workers are needed, at a ratio of 1 worker per 50,000 people. Focus prayer on sending families to share Jesus' love and forgiveness, scripture translations in Pashto dialects, and inspiring household leaders to embrace Jesus and disciple others, so that Pashtun families turn to Christ and foster faith-based movements within their clans.FinancesWeekly Budget 35,297Giving For 10/13 20,813Giving For 10/20 35,240 YTD Budget 564,754 Giving 497,823 OVER/(UNDER) (66,931) Fellowship 101We invite you to join us on Sunday, November 10, at 9:00 a.m. to learn more about Fellowship.

Garth Heckman  The David Alliance   TDAgiantslayer@Gmail.com    How to be a man coming soon at HillSpring Church.    Are you not entertained? Maximus (Russell Crowe) Arguably the most recognizable Gladiator quote, this line delivered by Maximus goes to show the lack of empathy the crowd embodies. The mob wants nothing more than bloodshed and death, a show to distract them from the emptiness of reality.   We could easily cry this out in todays world forums and families. As well as… Are you not distracted? Are you not deceived? Are you not gullible? Are you not in the dark? Are you not in the fight? Are you not the wicked Lazy servant who buried his talent in the ground?   We miss - I believe the most important line in the movie which follows this line. Gladiator yells to the crowd “are you not entertained, is this not why you are here?” WHY ARE WE HERE? Why are we here on this earth?  Entertainment… I doubt any of us would be so bold and so foolish to answer yes to this question… but yet we find ourselves at times in exactly that lifestyle and mindset. If I strive to succeed at my business, is it not truly so that I have the resources to entertain myself and meet my desires?      You might be surprised at the number of times the Bible touches on the subject of entertainment. On the positive side, Jesus went to parties and made time to get away from the grind of ministry with His disciples. Paul said that God “richly provides us with everything to enjoy” (1 Timothy 6:17), and he obviously knew something about poetry (Acts 17:28), sports (1 Corinthians 9:24-26), and the theater (1 Corinthians 4:9). What's more, the end of history is pictured as a banquet for God's people in Revelation. Negatively, King Herod's attempt to entertain his guests led to John the Baptist's execution (Matthew 14:6-12), and the Persian King Ahasuerus' wild party ended with what amounted to a divorce (Esther 1:1-22). How do we sort through these biblical references? Here are several principles to help you determine Scripture's teaching on entertainment and amusement. Entertainment is not for fleshly desires or feelings to be experienced. It is not an escape and it is not to be in the form of activities that are lewd, unholy, or selfish… Entertainment a seen in scripture was for the purpose of enjoying Gods creation including his people. It gives you a respite for a fight that is coming again soon.  Interruptions don't interrupt my mission, but rather serve as a break to focus on a particular aspect of God to feel invigorated and refreshed.

Message by Pastor J.J. Stanbridge Text: Colossians 3:17 The post Why Are We Here? – PART 6 appeared first on Flint Hill Baptist Church.

NOTES: Everything was created through him and for him. Colossians 1:15–16 (NLT) Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan. Ephesians 1:11 (NLT) For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)    WHY PURPOSE MATTERS Knowing your purpose gives MEANING to your life. Knowing your purpose SIMPLIFIES your life. Knowing your purpose FOCUSES your life. Knowing your purpose MOTIVATES your life. Knowing your purpose prepares you for ETERNITY. DETERMINING PURPOSE God has a purpose for you - but it's not ABOUT YOU. God has a purpose for you -  and it's MOSTLY about what He's DOING IN YOU. God has a purpose for you - and if you SURRENDER to it, he will FULFILL it. WHY ARE WE HERE? To bring Him GLORY. For I have made them for my glory. It was I who created them… Isaiah 43:7 BOTTOM LINE: You cannot ARRIVE at your purpose if you BEGIN with yourself. THE CHALLENGE: What is ONE WAY you will GLORIFY GOD this week?

Message by Pastor J.J. Stanbridge Text: 2 Corinthians 3 The post Why Are We Here? appeared first on Flint Hill Baptist Church.

Why Are We Here? By Tammy Lacock“But when it pleases God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood.” (Galatians 1:16) In this podcast series, it is Warren Litzman's ultimate goal to help us understand the Apostle Paul's gospel, the final gospel to the world, so that we might understand who we are and why we are here. Paul, the meanest man on earth at the time by his persecuting Christians, was raised up by Christ Himself to bring us this new gospel. Only two men in the Bible were raised up by God to bring us a gospel. Moses brought us the law (Old Testament); and Paul brought us grace (New Testament), the gospel of Christ. Paul's gospel of grace supersedes any other gospel, including the Kingdom gospel preached initially by Peter and the disciples.In Galatians 1:16, the Apostle Paul tells us something that has never been told before, that the Holy Spirit had revealed to him that Christ is now living in him, literally, not figuratively. Paul taught of Christ living in us and we in Him over and over throughout his letters. This is Paul's gospel, the final gospel of God's grace for humanity. That by Christ's death, burial, and resurrection, we as believers, have been rebirthed by the very seed of Christ in our spirits (1 Corinthians 6:17). By just believing, God can now uproot Satan's sin-nature passed down by the curse through Adam and replace it with the incorruptible seed of Christ (1 Peter 1:23). By this, we are made brand-new creations, no longer bound by law, sin, and death. God now sees Christ in us as our righteousness, making us His bona fide sons and daughters. By Christ, we are complete. Only by Christ. Our identity is Christ. In Him, we are now free to live who God created us to be. Warren Litzman points out the importance of understanding the role of the Holy Spirit, part of which is to teach God's born-again children about our new identity. Jesus tells us in John's gospel that the Holy Spirit will come upon us to be our teacher and our comforter, helping us to understand our new life in Christ, our new life in grace. The Holy Spirit's power is revealing Christ and who He is now living in us. “At that day (Pentecost) ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.” (John 14:20)The Holy Spirit renews our minds, as Paul says, helping us to understand and cultivate a beautifully unique and reciprocal love affair with Christ, the Christ that now lives in each of us who believe. The Christ that is our strength, our hope, our peace, our very life. This is why we are here, to learn of Him, to know Him, to rest in Him, and to fall in love with Him more and more every day.

Christian Holloway was just a mild mannered, all-American, belt-fed marine, right up until he found himself being deployed as infantry to the second battle of Fallujah. It was far from the only time he'd find himself in a tough spot - Christian's got more than one story of close calls, stray squirters, and unexploded rocket-propelled grenades courtesy of Saddam's best and brightest.Eventually his experiences led him to becoming one of the earliest members of MARSOC, the Marine Special Operations Command that's now known as the Marine Raiders, where he found even more action from an entirely different side of the globe. That's why he's sitting down today to tell us all about it. ----------Chapters:00:00 - Intro02:05 - Why Are We Here?10:08 - David Goggins Can't Hurt Me17:03 - I Wanted to Fly Planes23:33 - In Country, Out of Options37:27 - The Craziest Gunfight I Got Into47:52 - Everybody's Got a Plan Until First Contact01:02:45 - They Weren't Pulling Pins01:14:08 - Searching Bodies for Intel01:22:47 - Post-Deployment Leave01:28:32 - Second Deployment01:47:49 - IED Developments----------Support Christian Holloway - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chris.holloway_fiYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs1jwxG_W_NAVVX8KlZ-MigLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-holloway1----------Sponsors: MUD/WTRGo to https://www.mudwtr.com/mike to support the show and use code MIKEMUD for 15% off----------1st Phorm https://www.1stphorm.com/mikedrop | Free shipping on all orders over $75 when you use the link!----------BioProteinUse code MIKEDROP to save $30 on your first order at https://www.bioproteintech.com----------Fueled by TeamDog | www.mikeritlandco.com | @Teamdog.petALL THINGS MIKE RITLAND:SHOP for Fueled By Team Dog Performance Dog Food, Treats, Apparel, Accessories, and Protection dogs - MikeRitlandCo.com - https://www.MikeRitlandCo.com Team Dog Online dog training - TeamDog.pet - https://www.TeamDog.petThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5531509/advertisement
