Do you wish you could achieve all your goals and have more joy in your life? Don’t wait to be happy.

You are motivated to learn and grow skills. You can make tough decisions when required. What if you applied those skills also to the pursuit of joy? Rather than simply being a high achiever, could you become a “Joychiever?”

What if you could harness those skills to cultivate more joy for your workforce?  Work and joy can co-exist! Achieving success and experiencing joy don’t have to be mutually exclusive.

10:30 a.m. - 6 Mistakes that Kill Engagement

Engagement rates are at their lowest in a decade. Yet, even when engagement levels have been at their highest, over 60% of your business professionals still aren’t engaged. A major cause for engagement levels staying so low is how your people are being managed. While your supervisors and managers are certainly not malintent, they are likely making one or more of these mistakes that are negatively impacting your culture and inducing quiet quitting.

The following leadership missteps encourage exhaustion, feed mistrust, inhibit growth and increase loneliness and detachment:

      1.    Perpetuate always-on pressure
2.    Disregard symptoms of boreout
3.    Overlook the power of trust and self-determination
4.    Miss opportunities to bolster psychological safety.
5.    Refrain from conducting 1:1 check-ins
6.    Neglect to underscore why work matters

Leveraging the Joychiever’s Hierarchy of Engagement, this presentation will bring to light the 6 mistakes, as well as provide concrete ways to avoid them in the future. Engagement is a complex and omnipresent issue that with a few shifts in management behavior could be greatly improved.
