Listen Later

In any organization, there’s always some kind of chaos. It’s just the way of the world.


But leaders don’t just face chaos. They’re defined by how they handle it. 


And that’s why we’re thrilled to have today’s guest, Mory Fontanez.


She's the founder of 822 Group, a consultancy which is helping companies and leaders reconnect with their higher purpose to grow their businesses.


Now, if you’re the type who hears that and thinks it sounds a little woo-woo … well … just hang on.


Mory actually shares a lot of hard evidence showing that companies and leaders without a higher sense of purpose experience lower productivity, higher turnover, and burnout.


But here’s the good news: leaders and companies who actually dig in and connect with a bigger set of values and purpose have a huge advantage.


They’re more confident, more clear, and more satisfied at work. And no matter what kind of chaos or crisis they face, they’re ready.


So listen in and discover for yourself how you can tame the chaos with a higher purpose.

  • Two incredible benefits to creating a clear company purpose (one is pretty surprising)
  • The #1 mistake companies make when they try to create a list of values
  • How to let go of your need for self-validation, and why it’s crucial for leaders
