Finding Meaningful Work with Tamara Myles and Wes Adams: The 3 C's to Thrive in Your Career


Listen Later

What does it mean to truly find meaning at work? This week, I'm thrilled to chat with my friends and positive psychology experts, Tamara Myles and Wes Adams. Their new book, Meaningful Work, offers powerful insights and practical strategies on how we can transform our careers and workplaces using their three-part framework: Community, Contribution, and Challenge.

In this conversation, we dive into how solo entrepreneurs, leaders, and teams can build a deeper sense of purpose, connection, and growth at work. We explore topics like aligning organizational values with actions, avoiding burnout by balancing autonomy with support, and how meaningful work can create both happier people and stronger business outcomes.

This episode couldn't be more timely—whether you're leading a team, running your own business, or navigating your next career move, you'll come away with actionable ideas to elevate your experience at work.

Key takeaways:

  • How to intentionally cultivate community, contribution, and challenge at work
  • Strategies to balance autonomy and support to prevent burnout
  • Why aligning organizational values with daily actions is crucial
  • Ways to create meaningful moments for yourself and others
  • Practical tools to make meaningful work a sustainable reality
