Business
We learn from our guest today how to connect to the meaning and purpose behind your work to get you and the people in your organization more engaged. It affects not only your and employees' happiness, but your bottom line too. Dr. Alise Cortez is the Chief Purpose Officer at Dr. Alise Cortez and Associates (www.AliseCortez.com/), where she works with leaders and organizations to enable them to lead from purpose and create cultures of meaning that inspire impassioned performance. She holds a PhD in Human Development, is an organizational logotherapist, and is host of the Working on Purpose podcast. In this episode, Alise shares practical techniques, skills, and practices that business owners and leaders can implement to identify what motivates them and "connect the dots" for people in the organization so they can see how what they do contributes to the organization's larger purpose or mission. We even discuss what ostensibly non-idealistic people who just love making deals can do to foster engagement.
