Purpose Changes Everything: Find Meaning in Your Career
Meaning at work: it's something we all aspire to have, yet according to a new study by Imperative and NYU, only 28% of the US workforce reports they've found purpose in their careers. What does working purposefully look like for each of us, and how can we infuse it into our 9-to-5?
Aaron Hurst, CEO at Imperative, will join us to debunk myths about what purpose at work actually means, and explore how it relates to making an impact. He'll offer stories from companies who have embraced purpose and meaning across all fields and occupations to paint a vivid picture of what purpose at work can be. He'll also share Imperative's diagnostic test that defines what psychological drivers maximize one's sense of purpose.
Whether you're a seasoned professional or student entering the workforce, join this webinar to reflect on your own career journey and leverage this knowledge to design your work to be rich in purpose. You'll be inspired to immediately begin crafting your job into your calling and maximize meaning for yourself and those around you.
