Most Americans Live to Work whereas most Europeans Work to Live. Are you someone who loves their job and feels rewarded? According to the 2017 Gallup Poll, 70% of employees in today’s workforce are not engaged at work, meaning they are not psychologically committed to their jobs, happy in the workplace and likely to be making positive contributions to their organizations. Chances are, you are or at some point will be part of the 70% of employees who are disengaged at work, drawing a paycheck and going home. Or maybe part of the 51% of employees actively looking for another job. If you are an avid listener of this podcast you have met plenty of people who genuinely love what they do for work and feel fulfilled doing it.

What do people really desire in order to be happy? The answer will obviously vary from person to person. Rob researched Desires of People, specifically soldiers and employees. He found everyone has value and potential. As a brigade leader he was charged with preparing men and women for combat and remembered what they desired to be at their very best. Rob had more than 70 subordinate organizational leaders serving under him in his two-year tenure in brigade command, each with different desires. Rob’s personal study resulted in a short desires collection or “List of Six” that he uses as a vehicle dashboard to examine his own organization and people, and offers them as a way for you to implement them in your own ogranization. The List of Six are: Fulfillment, Autonomy, Praise & Recognition, Safety, Discipline, and Growth.

In this podcast we break down a few of the desires on the List of Six and discuss how you can start applying them, build better relationships, and create better leaders in your own organization. We also discuss how to attract and keep employees who subscribe to company values and culture.

After serving 27 years in the Army, Colonel Rob Campbell retired to the North Carolina coast and wrote a book called, It’s Personal not Personnel. This book was inspired by his position in the Army and he applies leadership principles from his brigade experiences by taking a more personal approach in the workplace. Rob uses a people centric approach in helping organizations and businesses invest in their people, achieve better results and attract happier employees.

“Resilience is the most needed, the least known, and most ignored skill on planet earth.” -Matt Domogala

Chances are, sooner or later people will become sick of their job or hit a wall in their career. Chances are, at some point in our lives or career, we will experience the feeling of being stuck, unmotivated, unappreciated, or under-valued in the workplace. Matt believes that employees need to be treated as human beings, not “human doings”. Building relationships between employees and management build better leaders, employees, and results. Matt says managers are result oriented and want to see hard results. Matt believes you can’t get “hard results” without “soft skills”, like encouragement and empathy.

Matt’s company, EnergiZing, is building better relationships and energy in the workplace. The biggest influence on workplace culture is the way employees communicate. Better communication produces better results. Happy people produce results. Matt Domogala is an “Edutainer”, business mentor, trainer, coach, and entrepreneur who helps organizations build resiliance by helping their employees learn how to sustain the pressure and demands without compromising results. Matt has been sharing his knowledge and experience for over 15 years, hosting conferences, workshops and lectures in the U.S. and Europe.

Matt’s own weaknesses and eagerness to overcome them inspired him to create the concept of “Energizing us”. Initially it was difficult for him to deal with his flaws. He felt this overwhelming lack of energy and that prevented him from materializing his dreams and goals. As he was researching and reading to help himself out, he ended up building the concept of “Energizing us”.

At his workshops he shows participants how to build energy and how to increase resilience in order to handle professional and life hardships. Matt has inspired many participants and has coached many companies including Metlife, Adidas, and many others. He has also performed at conferences organized by Wharton Business School, Columbia, and Yale Universities. He passionately applies the newest discoveries in psychology and human brain studies to business by presenting his concept of life and work expressed in a simple phrase: “Energizing us.”
