Podcasts about work purpose

What's the role of spirit in a world driven by bottom lines and business metrics? Today, Peter Winick sits down with Rusty Rueff, an accomplished investor, startup advisor, Co-Founder and Director at Alioth Talent and previously served under President Obama on his advisory committee for the Arts at the Kennedy Center, to discuss the crucial intersection of purpose and the workplace. Rueff, who has dedicated his career to empowering organizations and people, shares his belief that modern workplaces must recognize the holistic needs of their people—including the often-overlooked need for spiritual fulfillment. Historically, work and personal lives were siloed. But today, companies are embracing the importance of physical and mental well-being, with gyms, wellness programs, and mental health support. Rueff believes the next frontier is integrating “spirit” into the workplace—not in a religious sense, but as a core part of personal meaning and motivation. Companies should aim to foster environments where employees feel committed, not just compliant. But how can companies approach this without stepping into sensitive territory? Rueff advocates for open forums and inclusive resource groups that give employees a safe space to bring their full selves to work. By creating these avenues, organizations enable connection and belonging, helping employees build resilience, passion, and purpose. Rueff's latest book, The Faith Code: A Future-Proof Framework for a Life of Meaning and Impact, asks readers to explore their foundational beliefs. He challenges listeners to reflect on the “platform of their lives” and what they cherish most deeply. As he explains, while our bodies and minds may wane over time, our spirits have the power to grow stronger—right until the end. Three Key Takeaways: • The Spirit in the Workplace: Beyond physical and mental health, organizations should support employees' spiritual well-being, fostering commitment and purpose rather than mere compliance. • Inclusive Spaces for Authenticity: To empower employees to bring their whole selves to work, companies should create open forums and resource groups that celebrate diverse backgrounds and interests, cultivating belonging and connection. • Reflecting on Life's Platform: Rueff's concept of the “platform of life” challenges individuals to identify what truly matters and holds lasting value. While physical and mental capacities may fade, nurturing the spirit can build resilience and strength that endures. Rusty is changing lives by getting people to ask the right questions about their life.  When it comes to Thought Leadership are you asking the right questions?  Take a moment to check out this article by Peter Winick on Starting with the Problem, Not the Solution.  It can make a huge difference in your work!

Send us a textIn his second appearance on Happy at Work, Andrew Soren explores the complex relationship between meaningful work and well-being. Drawing from recent research, he reveals surprising findings about how highly meaningful work can sometimes lead to decreased well-being, and discusses practical ways to balance purpose with personal sustainability.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why meaningful work doesn't always correlate with increased well-being, particularly in highly purpose-driven professionsThe six different motivations people have for finding work meaningful, according to researcher Michael PrattHow diversity in work motivations can strengthen teams and organizationsWhy an ecosystem approach (individual, team, organization, society) is necessary to address burnout in meaningful workThe importance of regular check-ins about how work aligns with personal meaning and purposeQuotable Moments: "Half of everything that's been written about meaningful work has been published basically in the last year... The amount of people writing and thinking about this topic is just doubling basically every single year.""If we go to them and are just like, 'hey guys, you just need to develop some more self-compassion here... you need to build your resilience skills'... there is nothing that will result in more moral outrage than kind of saying like, 'just take another meditation class.'"Practical Takeaway: Consider implementing regular check-ins with team members about how their work aligns with their sources of meaning, whether that's utility, status, passion, service, kinship, or mastery. Remember that these motivations can change over time and that having diverse motivations within a team can create stronger organizational dynamics.Resources Mentioned:"The Call of the Wild" study by Bunderson and Thompson (2009) about zookeepers - linkMichael Pratt's research on meaningful work motivations - linkCarol Riff's model of psychological well-being - linkConnect With Our Guest:Connect with Andrew Soren on LinkedInEudaimonic by DesignMeaningful Work MattersListen to Andrew's first appearance on Happy at Work here!To stay connected and continue the conversation, be sure to follow us on LinkedIn.

In today's episode, we're diving into the interdependence of purpose, belonging, and uniqueness as discussed in Chapter 3 of The Spirit of Work. We'll explore how a sense of purpose fuels motivation and satisfaction in the workplace, the paradoxical relationship between belonging and individuality, and the essential roles of self-awareness and service in cultivating a strong, supportive work environment.Purpose in Work:Purpose is a powerful motivator. It doesn't always come from a passion for the work itself; it can stem from the impact on family, community, or contributing to something larger. Purpose helps people feel that their work matters, even in difficult conditions.The Paradox of Belonging and Uniqueness:Belonging and uniqueness form a kind of paradox. To belong, one must conform enough to be accepted by the group, but to be unique, one must be free to express their individual identity. When individuals are free to be themselves, they are more likely to feel that they belong and to willingly embrace certain group norms. Without appreciation for unique, diverse contributions, people can become demoralized, lose their sense of purpose, and feel alienated. In contrast, when their ideas and contributions are celebrated, they feel a sense of belonging, are recognized as valuable members of the organization, and are encouraged to contribute fully.Self-Worth and Acknowledgment:If you're constantly seeking external fulfillment and cannot find it, it may be because you are inadvertently alienating the validation that would otherwise come naturally. External validation, though it may not come constantly from everyone, often arrives in meaningful ways when it's not actively pursued.Service and Self-Awareness Development:When we engage in service, we cultivate appreciation and dissolve any sense of entitlement. Through serving, we come to see ourselves as both resourced and resourceful. Service helps us understand our boundaries and limitations while also providing opportunities for latent potential to emerge.The more self-aware we become, the more attuned we are to others. The more we serve, the more our true self develops. As we express our authentic self, others feel inspired to develop theirs. This positive energy can draw people in, helping them recognize these qualities within themselves. However, the opposite can also happen: some people can also see that in you and want it for themselves and think that by destroying you, they're going to get it.Would you like to learn more about this fascinating chapter?

The Spirit of Work: Purpose and Cora's RestaurantCora's Restaurant, a breakfast establishment originating in Quebec, exemplifies the transformative power of a clear organizational purpose. With a mission centered on "promoting the importance of breakfast," Cora's has expanded from a single location to a global presence, spanning North America, South America, Europe, Australia, Asia, and Africa.The guiding principle of promoting breakfast's significance influences every aspect of Cora's operations, from menu choices to environmental initiatives. Cora's serves vibrant, nutritious breakfasts to infuse people's mornings with energy and joy. Their commitment extends beyond the dining experience; they partner with the Breakfast Club of Canada, donating a portion of each meal's proceeds to provide nutritious breakfasts for Canadian children.Environmental responsibility is a cornerstone, with decisions rooted in local food sourcing, exclusive use of biodegradable packaging for takeout, and collaboration with environmentally conscious partners. The emphasis on a warm, friendly atmosphere is ingrained in staff training, fostering creativity, work-life balance, and opportunities for advancement.This purpose-driven approach aligns internal and external processes, creating a harmonious organizational culture. The success of Cora's Restaurant is a testament to the profound impact of a well-defined purpose, inspiring growth and unleashing creative potential.In The Spirit of Work, I emphasize the importance of purpose to work. A lack of purpose leads to scattered efforts, breeding cynicism and suspicion among the workforce.Discovering Purpose – Cora's Journey:Finding purpose, whether individually or collectively within an organization, is a challenging but critical endeavor. Cora, a divorced mother of three, stumbled upon her purpose when she sold her house to start a small snack bar. Her knack for creative, nutritious snacks evolved into the first Cora's Breakfast restaurant, emphasizing the importance of breakfast.Over seven years, Cora and her children expanded the venture from nine restaurants in Greater Montreal to a global, multi-million dollar franchise. Her journey underscores the link between clarity of purpose, values and branding. Purpose, Play, and Joy in Workplaces:Purpose, like children's play, involves dedication to an activity that energizes and brings joy. However, purpose can either contribute to the betterment or detriment of society. It serves as fuel, requiring direction to ensure it serves the greater good. Reflecting on Cora's example, how has purpose affected your business or career journey?Reflection Questions:Similar to Cora, how has facing difficulty in your life contributed to personal growth and purpose?How did your purpose evolve when creating something new and testing it with others?If in a leadership position, can you state your organization's founding principle in 5-7 memorable words?Purpose, is pivotal chapter in my book, The Spirit of Work: Timeless Wisdom, Current Realities.

Today I'm talking to Richard Eisenberg. Richard started his career as a finance writer at Money back in 1978 and has been writing about personal finance, money, and retirement for decades. He recently left his post as the Senior Web Editor of the Money & Security and Work & Purpose channels for Next Avenue. However, in what he calls his “unretirement,” he's started writing a new column for MarketWatch, contributed to Next Avenue, and become the co-host of the Friends Talk Money podcast. While some finance writers want to help rich people get richer, Richard has focused his career on helping others manage their money better and make smarter financial decisions. In a world where there's so much more information, financial products, and opinions than ever before, Richard has a wealth of knowledge and a proven track record at sifting through the data to provide sound and relatable financial advice. In this conversation, Richard and I discuss how to make sense of the tremendous amount of financial information and articles available today, the 5 keys to a successful semi-retired or unretired lifestyle, and how to discover new meaning and purpose in the next stage of your life. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: How finance–and finance education–has changed over the course of Richard's 40+ year career. How to identify whether you can trust the author of a piece of financial writing and what to look out for. The difference between a midlife crisis and a midlife financial crisis. How Richard defines unretirement. Why Richard decided to “unretire” and what fellow “unretirees” should be looking out for in their own lives. The 5 keys to a successful ‘unretirement'. How Richard defines purpose–and why he believes that everyone who can should unretire.

Elizabeth is the embodiment of a true new-era global PR and marketing executive, standing for resourcefulness, creativity, and effectiveness in a time fueled by heightened social and cultural awareness.An entrepreneur at her core, Elizabeth's true passion lies in working with new or re-imagined, cutting-edge brands that are bringing consumers products and tools that make life more enjoyable, accessible, and healthy. Based in Los Angeles, Elizabeth is also currently working on her book and speaking about her health and wellness journey while maintaining a high-profile position working with some of the best-known and innovative brands in the world. She truly believes there is a future where wellness, intuition, and the corporate world collide. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Elizabeth Rosenberg discuss:Money can't solve the problem of purposeRecognizing burnout and growing from itKnitting corporate purpose with personal purposeSpiritual bias and the uniqueness of each purpose Key Takeaways:Throwing money into the problem doesn't always solve it - especially if the problem is resignation and employee retention. People want more money, yes, but while they work they're going to always be longing for something else, costing each one psychologically.People are often unaware that they are burning out and it's good to recognize the signs early and to remember that burnout can be a place that one can grow exponentially from.The best organizations serve their people and make it a part of their company's purpose to help their people fulfill each one's personal purpose.Purpose is not one-size-fits-all, it's going to be different for everybody. What works for your professional growth might not work for someone else."What someone's purpose is is not gonna be the same as another and what works for somebody's personal and professional growth is not gonna work for the other. So we need to be really compassionate… about accepting and making it a safe space for people to talk about what they need." —  Elizabeth Rosenberg   See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7IConnect with Elizabeth Rosenberg:  Website: www.thegoodadvicecompany.comTwitter: www.twitter.com/goodadvicecoInstagram: www.instagram.com/goodadvicecoLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethrosenberg/ Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/Twitter: https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370Show notes by Podcastologist: Justine TallaAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

We apparently really like using the word "great" to describe things (see episode 1) The Great Resignation. The Great Renegotiation. The Great Reflection. Whatever you want to call it, it's clear that something strange is happening in the world of employment. It's estimated that up to 33% of the non-farm US workforce voluntarily quit their jobs in the last two years. These aren't layoffs. These are people pursuing other opportunities, while others are choosing to leave the workforce altogether. What are we to make of this? On this episode, I chat with my friend and vocational coach Trisha Welstad from the Northwest Leadership Center to discern what's going on and whether or not the Christian faith offers anything to the conversation. Start "living your calling" and connect with Trisha more at the Northwest Leadership Center website or on Instagram and Facebook. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/exploringexile/support

So many people have quit their job during the Great Resignation, and one of the driving forces behind the workplace exodus is the search for more meaning and purpose in life. In this episode, Samantha and James discuss the role work plays in our lives, the importance of learning from it, and the risks of quitting a job to drifting aimlessly.

Hi, everyone and welcome to my solo podcast today. It's almost the New Year and I thought it was a good time to take some questions and have a conversation around lifestyle; self-care, relationships, work, parenting, finding purpose and some of the points that touch us on a daily basis.  I did take a few questions, but in an attempt to never tell anyone what to do (don't tell my children) I do my best to share how it's going for me but feel strongly that we all have our own best answer within ourselves. Who knows, maybe there is a takeaway that sparks your own investigation into what will be the best strategy for wherever you are at.   Sending you wishes of health and love now, and in the New Year. Seems like a good time (regardless of our differences) to COME TOGETHER. Enjoy. The Gabby Reece Show talks to top experts with the goal of extracting the best information you will need to navigate the universe of health, fitness, relationships, parenting, and business. Gabby keeps it simple but gets to the heart of the conversation with the hopes of providing you with realistic takeaways.

Anthony sits down with Heather Broeder, Executive Vice President of Refined Technologies, to discuss living at the intersection of work and purpose. When our work is fueled by purpose, the results we experience multiple. Yet all too often, work and purpose are discussed separately. The objective of this session is to help individuals bridge this divide and approach their work in the marketplace with a sense of purpose.

Eric Brotman discusses ways to find purpose in your life, both before and during retirement, with the manager editor of the Money and Work & Purpose channels on NextAvenue.com, Richard Eisenberg. Bullet points of what is covered during the episode Relying on our careers to form our identities can cause identity crises during retirement. Boomers are redefining retirement in the way that millennials are redefining work. Financial literacy is lacking among all generations, but a solution is not as easy as it may seem. Financial advisement and planning becoming more accessible to the average, middle class person. Biases and gender differences when working with couples. Richard is the Managing Editor and Senior Editor of the Money and Work & Purpose Channels for NextAvenue.org. He has helped people manage their finances and careers as a writer and editor at major media outlets including Money, Yahoo!, CBS MoneyWatch, USA Today and Good Housekeeping. He has written two books, How to Avoid a Mid-Life Financial Crisis and The Money Book of Personal Finance. 

We will spend around 40% of our lives at work. In so many ways, our work defines who we are. Today, Pastor Matt teaches us how to find God's purpose in our work.

Message from 1/12/2020 from the "God at Work" series by James Dearmond at New Life Church in Heber Springs, AR.

This week, a panel of outstanding journalists joins me on the podcast to talk about how retirement has changed during the decade now ending. The topic has been on my mind lately, as I published a story in The New York Times last weekend examining the changes we’ve seen since 2010, when the economy was just beginning to recover from the financial crash and Great Recession. Joining me are three colleagues on the aging beat:Judy Graham, who writes the Navigating Aging column for Kaiser Health News. Judy was was a senior health correspondent for many years at the Chicago Tribune, and has written for the New York Times, Washington Post and Los Angeles Times, among many other publications.Chris Farrell, senior economics contributor at Marketplace, American Public Media’s nationally syndicated public radio business and economic program. Chris also is an economics commentator for Minnesota Public Radio. His most recent book is Purpose and a Paycheck: Finding Meaning, Money, and Happiness is the Second Half of Life.Richard Eisenberg, Managing Editor of Next Avenue, the public media site for people 50+, where he is also editor of its Money & Policy and Work & Purpose channels. Previously, Rich was Executive Editor of Money magazine, Front Page Finance Editor at Yahoo! and Special Projects Editor/Money Editor at Good Housekeeping. He is the author of the books How to Avoid a Midlife Financial Crisis and The Money Book of Personal Finance.Reporting and writing the Times article prompted some reflection. I began to cover retirement just before the recession, and my first book, The Hard Times Guide to Retirement Security (2010) was published in the depths of the downturn. Those first few years on the beat, my reporting was very focused on the wreckage - the unemployment rate was high, the stock market was coming back and millions of workers were worried that their retirement plans were ruined.How are we doing now? It’s a very mixed bag. The Times story considers the state of retirement security from the standpoint of saving and investing, health insurance, employment, housing and Social Security. The key finding: Retirement in America has become a tale of two very different realities in the decade now drawing to a close.In 2010, the economy was just beginning to recover from the worst recession and financial crisis in recent memory. The unemployment rate was high, the stock market was coming back and millions of workers were worried that their retirement plans were ruined.Since then, a robust economic rebound has put some Americans back on solid footing for retirement, but progress has been uneven. Despite the gains made in employment, wage growth has only recently begun to recover — and remained flat for older workers. Retirement wealth has accumulated almost exclusively among higher-income households, while middle- and lower-income households have only held steady or lost ground, Federal Reserve data shows.Trends in Social Security and Medicare also are troubling. The value of Social Security benefits — measured by the share of pre-retirement income they replace — is falling, and the cost of Medicare is rising.Some of the most striking data comes from the Employee Benefit Research Institute, which has developed a model that simulates the percentage of households likely to have adequate resources to meet retirement expenses. The model considers household savings, home equity and income from Social Security and pensions.The model shows that the highest-income households have seen their odds of a successful retirement improve sharply during this decade, and they have very high odds of success. Middle-income households, meanwhile, have seen some gains, but still have only 50-50 odds of success. And the lowest-income households have seen their retirement prospects diminish sharply.This chart depicts the odds for boomers age 55-64 - the color bars represent different income quartiles (blue is lowest, yellow is highest). In 2019, the highest income households have a 93% chance of a successful retirement - up substantially since 2010, while the lowest had odds of just 11% - down substantially over that period. This chart depicts the same divergent trend among GenXers:A few things that I had hoped to discuss in the article wound up on the cutting room floor for space reasons, so I’ll mention them briefly here:Consumer protection: The crash gave birth to the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in 2010, which called for sweeping reforms to financial regulation — including financial advice on retirement.Dodd-Frank included language encouraging the Securities and Exchange Commission to adopt a uniform standard of fiduciary responsibility for brokers and advisers.“That was the point when it seemed possible we’d soon have a strong standard of conduct across the broad range of investment advice for retail investors to be protected in retirement plans,” said Barbara Roper, director of investor protection for the Consumer Federation of America.It wasn’t to be.When the S.E.C. failed to act promptly, the Obama-era Department of Labor adopted its own fiduciary rule governing retirement accounts. That rule died in 2018 when courts sided with opponents in the financial services and insurance industries, ruling that the department had overstepped its authority. The Securities and Exchange Commission completed work this year on its so-called Regulation Best Interest, which defines standards for brokers who sell investment products and explains the duties of investment advisers who provide financial guidance. Many critics regard the S.E.C. regulation as too weak, relying too heavily on disclosure to clients of any conflicts of interest.“One of the things that has really taken people by surprise in the S.E.C. rule is the degree to which they have adopted the weakest possible interpretation of the obligations investment advisers have as fiduciaries,” Ms. Roper said.Shifting Social Security politics: The political debate about how to solve Social Security’s long-range financial shortfall shifted significantly during the decade.In 2010, the bipartisan Bowles-Simpson presidential commission recommended changes that included further increases in the retirement age, a less generous cost-of-living adjustment and means testing for high-income workers.In 2019, Democrats’ plans are built around higher taxes and expanded benefits — and President Trump campaigned in 2016 promising to oppose benefit cuts.“The shift in the Democratic Party has been dramatic,” says Nancy Altman, president of Social Security Works, an advocacy group. “In contrast, the Republicans haven’t changed. They still want cuts and they still want to avoid accountability for those cuts.”Subscribe now!This is a listener-supported project, so please consider subscribing.

Richard Eisenberg is Marc’s expert guest in this episode. Richard is the Managing Editor for PBS’s Baby Boomer website, NextAvenue.org, a site for people 50-plus, and Editor of the site’s Work & Purpose and Money & Security channels. He previously worked at Money Magazine, Yahoo, Good Housekeeping, and USA Today. He is the author of How to Avoid a Midlife Financial Crisis, and The Money Book of Personal Finance. Richard lives in New Jersey, and will be 61 in July. Marc and Richard start the discussion with Richard’s career history, how he heard about Next Avenue, how he got involved, and what were the attractors that brought him to work for a virtual company starting in his mid-fifties. Richard comments on some of the issues faced by the fifty-to-seventy demographic, and what Next Avenue is doing to educate and inform about these challenges of mature life. Richard tells of the surprises, mostly pleasant he found at Next Avenue.   Listen in to learn about this online resource with great information to improve your life. Key Takeaways: [2:43] Richard became a journalist because he is curious. He likes to learn things, and relate them to other people. [3:06] NextAvenue.org is a website by the public television station of Minneapolis-St. Paul, TPT. Next Avenue was the idea of Jim Pagliarini, TPT President and CEO. Jim researched for seven years how PBS could serve Boomers, as they had served children with Sesame Street. He settled on a website. Richard helped launch it in May, 2012. [4:50] Richard decides which pieces to publish and when to publish them. He maintains the home page and copy edits all the articles on the site, which includes new content every day. His main job is editing two of the five channels — Money & Security, and Work & Purpose. He also assists with the other three channels. [6:10] Next Avenue has developed in five years. Based on the economy, there is less concern now over major layoffs and “Will I ever get hired?” The audience has grown, and they give feedback. Partner companies republish some Next Avenue articles. [7:58] Gen X people are moving into the 50-and-older group, and the site writes now for Boomers and Gen Xers. The content is targeted to people in their 50s and 60s. In the years to come, Richard sees the groups becoming more educated about age-related topics, so Next Avenue will go into more detail beyond the basics in articles. [9:12] Marc has also pivoted his site to address Gen Xers in the second half of life. Some Boomers are 70-plus, crossing the demographic boundary. [9:30] Richard was referred to the site as it was launching, and he wanted to be part of a startup, where he could write again. The role and the opportunity were right for him. He had spent his career doing service journalism, and this site was for his own age group. [11:19] Next Avenue is a virtual operation, headquartered in St. Paul, Minn. There are about nine people who work on the site full-time, in various cities. A lot of the articles are written by freelance writers or by the editors, or are excerpts from books. [12:24] Next Avenue gets between one and two million visitors a month. This is from five years of publishing. Richard would like more people to know about it, and read the articles. [13:25] Marc joined the Next Avenue Facebook group in 2011. From there, he met someone who introduced him to Richard. Marc and Richard were in the same graduating class at Northwestern, but never knew each other, in their separate majors. [14:23] Richard enjoys learning new things every day about his channel areas, and about the other channels, which he might not read if he didn’t work there. He likes to be able to talk to people that are the smartest people in the areas of the site channels, to pick their brains, and also to read the latest research. [15:16] Richard’s readers are more upbeat, positive, and resilient than he might have expected, even in view of serious challenges of employment and health. They tell how they’ve managed to survive in spite of the challenges. People are hopeful, and willing to do what they need to do. [17:20] If you have hope, you will likely get through it. The internet is allowing us to learn more, through other people who have gone through these challenges in the past. One of Richard’s big disappointments is with people knowing what to do, but not doing it, such as saving for retirement. [18:40] The reality is the environmental change isn’t slowing down, it’s speeding up. We need to adapt. It’s a lot harder to do than it sounds. If you’re not preparing yourself for the things that you need, it will be even harder when the time comes, to do something. [21:06] Marc’s final words: NextAvenue.org is not just a website, it is a community to go to for inspiration. Marc would like you to pick up Repurpose Your Career: A Practical Guide to the Second half of Life, at Amazon or other online retailers. When you complete reading the book, Marc would appreciate an honest review on Amazon.com.   Mentioned in This Episode: Careerpivot.com/episode-35 Repurpose Your Career: A Practical Guide for the Second Half of Life, by Marc Miller and Susan Lahey (Now available online) Contact Marc, and ask questions at: Careerpivot.com/contact-me Call Marc at 512-693-9132 and leave a message and email address.
