Purpose is not just about being an entrepreneur, it's about using your God-given gifts in the marketplace. We all can utilize our purpose in a corporate setting, but first we have to focus on the core element of purpose, which is serving and helping those around us.
This week, on the Redefining Wealth Podcast, we sat down with Jen Fisher, a sought-after speaker, writer, and leading voice on workplace well-being and creating human-centered organizational cultures.
As Deloitte’s first chief well-being officer, Jen evolved the US organization's health and wellness program into a first-of-its-kind holistic and inclusive well-being strategy by focusing on the importance of mental health and social connection to workforce resilience, happiness, and productivity. Jen is also the Work-Life Integration Editor-at-Large for Thrive Global, the host of WorkWell, a podcast series on the latest work-life trends, and the co-author of the book, Work Better Together: How to Cultivate Strong Relationships to Maximize Well-Being and Boost Bottom Lines.
