Sara Sheehan’s guest in this episode is Tamara Myles, a professor, researcher, author, and speaker who specializes in helping people unlock the power of meaningful work. She combines research in Positive Psychology with understanding human organizational challenges to assist companies in creating a workplace full of connection and fulfilment. Tamara shares over two decades of expertise with Sara as they explore themes from her new book, “Meaningful Work”. Tamara explains the positive benefits and importance of having meaningful work in our lives. Not only organizational benefits but personal ones like feeling more fulfilled with a greater sense of belonging. What Tamara’s research has shown is that nearly 50% of our experience of meaning at work is related to what our leaders do or don’t do. She and Sara discuss how meaningful work as imparted by leaders needs to address the Three C’s: community, contribution, and challenge.Sara and Tamara speak to how the Three C’s offer meaning at work to each generation, explore what each one looks like in action, and highlight beautiful examples of each one in practical application. How feedback is given and what details are offered add additional meaning for the recipient, and simple things like that can have a great positive impact. Tamara explains concepts like character strengths and the findings of her research that both drive her work and inspire her upcoming co-authored book.
