Purpose or Perish

The future of Employee Experience - Organizational cultures are being tested like never before. People are disengaged and anxious about the uncertainty of the future working world. Employees are desperately seeking an emotional connection to their contributions. In this keynote, Joshua explores how Purpose is quickly becoming the standard for individuals to gauge their careers and the metric companies use to judge their employees. Millennials are now more than 50% of the workforce and in recent surveys 87% of millennials are willing to work for less money if their work provides a sense of purpose! In this highly interactive session, attendees will learn how to evoke purpose for an unparalleled employee experience in a post-Covid workplace. 

CULTURE OF ENGAGEMENT

How to Build Engaged and Passionate Teams - Each of us began our careers from an engaged place. On our first day of work every one of us was excited and intrigued. However, with such demanding roles it can be easy for us to lose sight of the meaning behind our work. What if we could learn to re-engage in our work? What would be the organizational impact if we could help every person find meaning and purpose in their role? In this session audiences will learn how to manage influences, direct perceptions, and build aspirations that create phenomenal organizational cultures with fulfilled employees and engaged teams.

A superstar

- Hilary Knuth

Joshua’s energy and humor kept everyone engaged! You could see the wheels turning in participants’ heads as we made our way through exercises and re-examined ways of looking at particular situations. The ‘Cathedral’ example and the ‘I get to’ exercise are lessons I will reflect upon in both my personal and professional life for years to come! It was a true pleasure having Joshua as part of our department retreat!
