Here’s a little something to nibble on:
Recent research on happiness and making a difference underscores what many of us already know and seek out intuitively: that workers are more satisfied with their work, and more effective in their work, when they feel they making a difference.
Making a difference, being more satisfied, being more effective: a golden combination in work and life. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi calls this type of experience "flow" – what do you call it?
And where’s the combination for you – the sweet spot of effectiveness, satification and purpose?
How do you know when you’re there?

Before specializing as a professional coach in 2004, I spent more than a decade in leadership, management and program development for state and local government and non-profit organizations. Now I get to help leaders and teams have more clarity and ability to stand up for what's important in their work and in their organizations. Working with me, leaders and teams find more meaning and purpose, feel happier and more confident, navigate change and conflict, and work together better.
