486. “Each of Us Has a Brick to Lay” | Finding Meaning at Work with Jeff Westphal
Description
Jeff Westphal is an executive, entrepreneur, philanthropist, conservationist, and author of A Work Life Worth Living. After years of building and leading a successful company, Jeff realized that professional achievement alone wasn’t enough to create a fulfilling work life. That realization began a decades-long exploration of purpose, leadership, and the meaning we find in the work we do.
We explore why fulfillment doesn’t have to depend on finding the perfect job or waiting for an organization to change. Jeff shares how understanding the contribution behind our work can shift the way we experience it, even when that contribution isn’t immediately obvious. He also introduces Meaning Sphere, a platform designed to help people better understand where meaning comes from in their work and connect with others who are exploring the same questions.
Jeff also encourages us to know ourselves more deeply and seek mentors who can give us a safe place to explore our struggles, possibilities, and relationship with work.
The Biggest Helping: Today’s Most Important Takeaway
We each have a contribution to make toward building the world we want. Jeff’s message is to discover what your “brick” is, recognize what you’re contributing to the future, and find meaning in making that contribution.
