Topics: Purpose-led Organisations
Purpose is the energy that empowers organisations and individuals to thrive. It positively impacts schools and the workplace too – recent research from EY indicates that purpose-led organisations perform 42% better than those that are simply in business.
However, according to a Gallup poll, two-thirds of employees in the United States are purposeless – bored, detached and ready to actively sabotage plans, projects and other people. Considering you spend around a third of your life at work, this disengaged culture means that helping people to find a sense of purpose isn’t just vital for business, but also for people’s overall wellbeing. Shaun will bring your audience in on a fascinating discussion on this topic.
His talks are motivational & Inspirational, based on business culture, entrepreneurship and Health and lifestyle. Shaun will tailor each of his presentations to suit YOUR audience.
