L&D Philadelphia: The Search for Meaning at Work

L&D Philadelphia

The Search for Meaning at Work

Saturday, May 7, 2022

We’ve entered the age of purpose and meaning. Since the pandemic, over two-thirds of workers have reflected deeply on their purpose in life, and half are reconsidering the work they do. This shift creates an unprecedented opportunity for L&D practitioners to help their clients become “meaning makers” that spark engagement and a sense of belonging. In today’s business environment, L&D practitioners must know how to help their clients create meaning-rich experiences that drive performance.

Purpose and Meaning are critical to high-performance cultures and teams, yet few leaders understand what actions they can take to have the greatest impact. Steve Van Valin has identified the key factors and the relevant action steps that will become your “difference-maker” as L&D practitioners striving to help clients lead and manage effectively.

This program activates a new level of emotional intelligence – a mindset inspirational leaders possess and express to amplify Meaning. You will learn how to help your clients elevate their own level of engagement and meaning while leading with newfound energy, confidence, and satisfaction.

Key applications:

• Why Purpose and Meaning are sustainable motivators of engagement and performance
• The power of small wins: Activate a “psychological tour de force” for engagement
• How to clarify Purpose to create the conditions for Meaning
• How to amplify Meaning with specific action-steps based on Harvard Business School research
• The one “inclusive” action every leader must take to gain respect within their team culture
• Implementing a Meaning-Maker narrative to provide deep appreciation
