Happen To Your Career - Meaningful Work, Career Change, & Career Design (careers )

Say goodbye to the boring grind and hello to a career that brings out the best in you! Gallup's research has revealed the one thing that has the biggest impact on whether or not your work is fulfilling. Can you guess what it is? (You probably can from the title of this episode…) It's whether or not your strengths fit the role you're in. That's right, the key to unlocking fulfillment in your work lies in fitting your strengths to your career. In this episode, Scott discusses these findings with Dr. Jim Harter, the Chief Scientist of Workplace and Wellbeing at Gallup!

What you’ll learn 

  • How organizations can create a thriving culture of engaged employees 
  • The research and data-backed knowledge that supports the link between strengths and finding fulfilling work
  • How to have more meaningful conversations with your leader (or your team if you are a leader!)
