Judy Zimmer - Finding joy, purpose, and growth in our work. Tools that you can use for the rest of your career that help you to identify where joy resides.
According to a recent survey by Willis Towers Watson, the “Great Resignation” currently occurring across our workforce has roughly 44% of the American workforce listing themselves as employees that are “job seeking”. This term, or the sentiment around the shuffling of America’s workforce, should not be unfamiliar at this point as the pandemic caused many of us to think about the value of our work, both as employees and as human beings with a multitude of things going on in our lives at any giving point. The newfound demand for jobs, and the drastic shift in the way we accomplish work in the past 2 years, have caused many people to ask themselves bigger questions about their jobs. More commonly than not, I’d venture to say that many people can take the more finite questions they're asking themselves about their work to two key themes: first, “Do I feel a sense of purpose and happiness in the functions of my job” and second, “Do I feel that I can grow as an employee and a person in the work I am currently doing?”. The narrative surrounding the "Great Resignation" holds that people are willing and able, to move jobs in search of something better. Sometimes this can be a search for better pay and conditions, but it can also be a search for more meaningful work.
Employees feel more empowered to seek better pay, benefits, a shorter commute, a fully-remote office culture, and other objective reasons to search for different work. This podcast could certainly cover that as part of our topic today, but I want to take this a step further and get to the fundamental feelings of purpose, belonging, happiness, balance, and community that need to sustain us in order for our work to be any semblance of sustainable throughout the course of our careers. After all, if we have learned anything about work over the past years, we know that the joy, meaning, and growth we obtain from our work directly translates into the feelings we derive from other parts of our lives.
Judy Zimmer is a 1984 graduate of CSB, and is the president of Coachology.us, a national coaching and speaking firm in Minneapolis. Zimmer has coached 4000+ senior leaders on how to know, grow and maximize their personal brand. She helps clients and teams to set and achieve big goals by leveraging language and habits.

She is joining us today to share her insights on how she works with clients who are seeking greater joy and purpose in their work.
