Employees want their leaders to share the purpose of their work. They want to engage, with their hearts and minds, in work that resonates. When leaders make these connections and build upon foundations of meaning and purpose, good and sustainable business outcomes can happen! In this HRchat episode, we consider some impactful ways to achieve such outcomes.

Bill is joined today by Brad Federman, CEO, PerformancePoint LLC, and author of Cultivating Culture: 101 Ways to Foster Engagement in 15 Minutes or Less released in, released in March 2022.

Brad works with organizations of all sizes and in all industries, helping them foster engaged employees, resilient relationships, and collaborative cultures.

Questions Include: 

• Ed Magee, EVP Operations at Fender Music Corporation and Co-President of Fender Play Foundation writes the following in the foreword of your new book: "I would learn from many more years of working with Brad, not only is he a practiced people whisperer, but he’s also one of those unique individuals so grounded in people and culture that my learning in this space was beginning all over again." Please introduce yourself!
• Your new book is filled with insights and how-tos based on your 25+ years of experience as a corporate consultant and keynote speaker in various HR disciplines—from employee engagement to instructional design, and beyond. Why write the book? What was your inspiration? 
• Let's now explore some of the lessons from your book. With the belief that we are what we talk about, you offer 100+ ways to engage your team in conversations that matter. The hope is to make meetings about more than tasks, deadlines, and problems, and instead utilize Cultivating Culture’s pre-meeting notes and activities to grow a deeper understanding of the work folks are doing and why. Activities are divided into eight key focus areas. Can you take some time and talk about each?
