"It's what you learn, after you know it all, that counts" - John Wooden

At some point, all three owners of Thrive At Work found themselves at the top of their game. John was a recording artist on his way to international renown. Doric was a high ranking government executive, and Damon was in charge of leadership development research at Microsoft. They were achieving their dreams and yet it felt hollow. The lack of meaning and genuine enjoyment in their work inspired them to solve the problems that plague so many people in the modern workplace:

1. On the individual level, how do I achieve important goals while also thriving and enjoying my life?
2. On an organizational level, how do we create cultures that continually inspire people give their best in a sustainable way?

 

Meaning happens when we connect with something greater than ourselves, something that seems worthwhile. It often happens when we experience a connection with other people, or with a genuine sense of purpose. It can also happen when we are learning and growing. Experiencing meaning requires an act of faith, a reaching out into the unknown in order to make it known. Success, the way that it is commonly defined, points to status and money. Although a certain amount of money is necessary to get along in the world, neither status or money have been found to motivate people in a sustainable way.
