  • Finding Meaning in Work

    Finding Meaning in Work
    Oct 2 2024
    For some, a job is a calling — a part of their identity that informs how they live their life and goes far beyond just paying the bills. Those who find meaning in their work fall into two camps: (1) those who felt called to their positions and worked their lives toward that goal, or (2) those who — through exploration — almost stumbled into their calling by working a job they were able to infuse with meaning and purpose. Tippie Management Professor Amy Colbert joins us to share what she's learned on finding meaning at work and how leaders can foster this. After that, we'll hear from Tippie MBA Alum Amber Kraft — who falls into the explorer camp when it comes to finding meaning at work. And finally, we’ll bring it all together with a Final Tip(pie) just for you.

  • Productivity Tips from Astronauts

    Productivity Tips from Astronauts
    Oct 2 2024
    With employee engagement decreasing, employee burnout is increasing. Why? In part, because people feel unfocused due to the many different tasks they're juggling, and more people are also working in more isolated settings. Daniel Newton's research on how astronauts working in the international space station stay focused on multiple tasks while in the isolation of outer space may hold some keys for us. After that, we'll go from the international space station to the home office, with a story of burnout from Tippie alum and Nike VP of Consumer Strategy Cheryl Davenport. And finally, we’ll bring it all together with a Final Tip(pie) just for you.
