Working on Purpose

At a time when few women were in leadership roles, let alone starting their own companies, Sheila Liberman pioneered an entirely new industry. Founding her pharmacist staffing company in 1980, people told her it would never be a real business. By 2008, RPh on the GO USA was earning $35 million in revenues and was the largest pharmacist staffing business in that niche in the country, doing business in 46 states and in Quam and the Virgin Islands. Prior to the sale of her company, Sheila endured a healthcare crisis of her own, her response to which helped usher her into the next chapter of her professional life serving as a health, wellness, and nutrition consultant to people who wish to lead healthier and happier lives.

Entrepreneurs come in many varieties: some are natural born it seems, while others emerge over the course of their working careers. Assuredly, once the enterprise is founded, it reflects the personality and values of its founder. For example, Amazech Solutions, founded by a woman originally from India, prides itself in hiring mothers who don’t all necessarily have a pure technology background. This cadre of professionals bring a curious, inquisitive approach to their software coding that the founder believes sets her company apart from others. Running the business has allowed the founder to have an impact in her community in ways that are congruent with her sense of identity and purpose. And growing the business over the years has challenged her to rise to new levels she didn’t know she had, a satisfying way to cultivate a full and meaningful life.

We all know that work can be and often is … stressful. The demands placed on each of us to perform at our best and achieve the impossible are every day demands that will likely only continue to escalate over the course of our careers. And yet we’re still mere beings with emotions, hopes, dreams, and needs that come with our talents. We get hurt when we get passed over for the promotion we so think we’ve earned. We can develop stress-induced ulcers because of our strained relationships with our colleagues and boss. And sometimes horrible atrocities occur in the workplace – as when a colleague commits suicide or a workplace shooter surfaces. In short, the workplace can induce tremendous traumatic stress and oftentimes on levels we don’t ever register. In this episode, we talk with a professional whose made it her mission to provide an integrative healing approach to companies and individuals across the globe.

Many of today’s fathers in their 20s, 30s, and 40s are doing about half (and sometimes more) of what mothers once did: driving children; assembling their breakfasts, lunches, and dinners; handling their late-night wake-ups; helping out with homework, and more. They are balancing school events with work and business travel, and in some cases finding themselves emotionally torn when they can’t be in two places at once. In short, men are feeling the same tensions and emotions as fathers as women have been for quite some time. But not every boss is aware of this increasingly common phenomenon. According to Care@Work, 87% of working fathers want to be more involved with the family’s daily routine, and work/life balance is twice as important to today’s fathers as it was to their own fathers, says the study. Perhaps, soon, this “working fathers” phrase or an appropriate replacement, will and should come into vogue.

“We work too much, sleep too little, love with half a heart, and wonder why we are unhappy and unhealthy,” says Dr. Arthur Ciaramicoli. Is this modern day’s inevitable life dilemma? The good news is it doesn’t have to be. Effectively employing empathy has a surprising number of benefits, including lowering everyday stress levels and encouraging deeper, more meaningful connection between people. In the realm of work, great leaders using empathy can better tease out the potential in others by listening and learning who they are and what they could do. In this episode, we talk about the debilitating effects of stress, how we can rid ourselves of old negative stories about ourselves, and how performance addiction can really derail us, among several other compelling topics.
