53 分钟When we think about what makes something a good life, a lot of people got confused and came to the conclusion that the purpose of life is to enable business, not the other way around.
It feels to me like this is either an amazing opportunity to reclaim humanity and significance and opportunity, or we should just pack it in and realize that we are cogs in a system irrevocably and there's no way out.
So beyond money, perks and benefits, what really matters in work and in life?
Well, it turns out when thousands of people were interviewed, meaning, purpose, the feeling of significance, like what I do and who I am truly matters, is key.
But at the same time, generations of workplace practices and systems and structures have kind of worked to keep us from these feelings a lot of the time.
Well, what if it didnt have to be that way?
What if significance could be a central part of your job, even if you.
Thought it was impossible?
Well, thats what were diving into today with an old friend, Seth Godin, exploring how to transform the workplace into a source of fulfillment, purpose and innovation so that it gives us that deeply yearned for feeling of significance.
Seth is an entrepreneur, a many times New York best selling author, renowned speaker, known for a really insightful take on work life, culture, marketing, leadership and the spread of ideas, Seth has motivated and inspired really countless people around the world.
With an astonishing 20 best selling books under his belt, he is a visionary idea planter and ruckus maker.
And now he's back with his latest groundbreaking work, the song of significance.
In today's conversation, we dive into things like embracing change as a new normal in an ever evolving world, discovering the power of living in liminal spaces and how to thrive in uncertainty.
We talk about reimagining the workplace, a radical reimagining, in fact, learning how to create a significant centering organization that enrolls, empowers and trusts everyone, no matter where they are and who they are, and how to navigate groundlessness.
Seth shares his thoughts on how the past few years have trained us to expect and embrace change in a very different way.
We talk about the importance of responsibility, diving into the idea of doing work that matters, even if it's scary, as long as it is generous and exploring the human aspect of work, rediscovering the value of human connection and the potential for creating meaningful work experiences.
This conversation is a must listen for anyone who yearns for a more fulfilling, purpose centered and human centric approach to work.
