How has your year tracked?  Have you accomplished more than you thought, or are you finishing the year in a bit of a daze, exhausted by the challenges you have faced? It can be incredibly insightful, nourishing and cathartic to review your year in a structured way. A facilitated program can ensure the process is meaningful and fruitful. For the fourth consecutive year, Conny Weyrich is facilitating a two hour online workshop that uses writing prompts and images to support your reflection, and elicit deeper insights on what this year has brought you. Round off your year, and set yourself up for a strong start to 2025 with renewed focus and vigour. Here what Conny has to say: https://lnkd.in/dsaFhvGk Two dates to choose from:  12th December: https://bit.ly/3MOcw3y 14th December: https://bit.ly/4guqbu0

We all want to get up in the morning and know every day is going to count... to live a meaningful life to the very end! However, departing from structured work life as we transition in to a semi, or full retired season in our lives, can be challenging. In this FREE interactive webinar, occupational psychologist Christine Hamilton, and world expert in meaningful living, Lani Morris, help you begin to work through a few of the areas you might need to explore. If you or friends and family are feeling overwhelmed; simply avoiding thinking about retirement; or maybe already retired and wondering if there is more to life than they are currently experiencing; then please do find out more about this one hour session later this week here: https://bit.ly/3Nv1VuE #retirement #MeaningfulLiving

This recently released Harvard Business Review article on work place loneliness is a must read...https://bit.ly/4hwsq0x Co-Authors Constance Noonan Hadley and Sarah L. Wright present validated research that debunks long held beliefs - but also offer recommendations to develop a company culture of connectivity. Companies committed to workplace wellbeing will be interested in the 'Work Loneliness Scale" included in the article, to identify the levels of loneliness within an organisation. Sarah was Co-Author of the key article on the meaningful work research that validated the Map of Meaning® 25 years ago! The resulting book " The Map of Meaningful Work", authored by researcher Professor Marjo Kips-Wiersma, and Lani Morris, is a valuable tool for all 👉 https://bit.ly/4hNc8kf It is fantastic that Sarah and her colleagues continue to undertake quantitative research into what makes work meaningful. The need for organisational change in this space has been known for decades, but the wheels of progress remain slow, despite excellent validated research and resulting frameworks for implementation such as the Map of Meaning®. #humanresources #corporatewellness #thoughtleadership #meaningfullife

MeaningSphere write...."Meaning and purpose can be found in any work. And you don’t need to change jobs or careers to get it. In fact, you have more control over it than you may think. All you need is the right mindset, some tools and a little practice." We are thrilled that MeaningSphere choose to use the globally researched and validated Map of Meaning® as a framework for guiding their clients from an where they are at now..... through to understanding how to find more purpose and meaning in their every day work lives. MeaningSphere Guide and Map of Meaning® Certified Practitioner Bill Felty explains well here: https://bit.ly/3UuAuoy

Is it possible to experience 'meaningful work' if you do not feel connected to your company culture? Gallup report that when the culture is clear, consistent, communicated, and authentically lived by leadership - employee ratings go up. Company Culture should reflect what makes a work environment meaningful to it's employees. Imagine if Senior Management worldwide adopted the globally researched and validated Map of Meaning® to understand what makes work meaningful ; then develop and measure meaningful company culture. Do you want to make a lasting difference with individuals, teams, organisations, communities and social systems? Do you want to be a part of building the next generation of meaning-based organisations and workplaces?

The Map of Meaningful Work is written for anyone who is interested in creating more meaning and purpose in work and organisations. It is for those searching for ways to revitalise their work, and workplaces or change their careers, or their organisations. It is for anyone who firmly believes that it must be possible to align our deeper life purposes with our daily actions in the workplace. “This is an important book, as it helps one orientate their career and work-life balance in line with their values and beliefs. It is a rigorous book, thoroughly researched and evidence based, tried out and tested in various organizational sectors, in different countries and with a range of professions. It is also a 'dangerous' book, as it confronts the reader with their inner most sense of being and challenges them to an intimate conversation with their self. The human resource professional who wishes to work with human beings rather than with human resources, will find in this book a useful and easily accessible tool, with numerous illustrations, to help people on their career journeys inside and outside work. Highly recommended.” Yochanan Altman, Senior Professor, Bordeaux School of Management; Research Professor, London Metropolitan University; Visiting Professor, Sorbonne Universities (Pantheon-Assas); Founding Editor, Journal of Management, Spirituality & Religion; European Editor, People & Strategy Buy the book here: https://lnkd.in/g5pPzqdP #thoughtleadership #changemanagement #careerdevelopment #professionalgrowth #emergingtrends
