Learning To Love Uncertainty

Tuesday Mar 05, 2024

Tuesday Mar 05, 2024

We certainly needed to hear this right now, and we hope it’s perfect timing for you, too.  This is possibly the most countercultural business podcast ever recorded. What would our workplaces be like if we learned to love uncertainty?  How do we double down on our inputs, our habits, our practices and let go of trying to predict the future?  Why is our intolerance of uncertainty growing?  How do we actually grow if we don’t expose ourselves to uncertainty? Read this article for more context on this envelope-pushing conversation with Dr. Chris Peterson and Kedren.  We challenge you to share this podcast with your teammates and discuss how this research could positively transform your organization’s culture

Tuesday Dec 05, 2023

Employee happiness has been in steady decline since 2020.
In an article in Fast Company earlier this week, CEO and author Jenn Lim asked, “Why are employees so glum? They’re no longer riding the ‘highs and lows’ of their roles but instead shifted to ‘resignation and apathy’” writes Lim. “The true problem with employee engagement isn’t a lack of motivation but a disconnect between the employee and the organization’s purpose.” 
Disengaged teams cost the global economy $8.8 trillion annually, but a massive individual cost exists, as well. “Workers aren’t feeling a sense of purpose in their work, unable to see the alignment between their values or connections to what matters most,” Lim says. 
As leaders, there are things we can do! Join Dr. Ryan Berardi and Kedren as they share tips, mindsets, and behaviors to shift The Great Gloom to The Great Flourishing.  Make your organization an outlier for positive engagement and happiness at work!
