How to Feel Significant (again?) | Seth ...

Jonathan Fields / Acast
About this episode

We want to hear from YOU! Take our survey.


Beyond money, what truly matters is meaning and purpose - feeling like your work and life make a difference. Studies show significance is key to satisfaction.


Yet workplaces often keep us from these feelings. Seth Godin explores how to transform work into a source of fulfillment and purpose.

Seth has inspired many through his insights on work culture, leadership and spreading ideas. His latest book, The Song of Significance serves as a manifesto for creating a more human-centric workplace.


We discuss:

  • Embracing change as the new normal
  • Reimagining the workplace to enroll, empower and trust everyone
  • How the past few years have trained us to embrace change
  • The importance of taking responsibility for meaningful work
  • Rediscovering the value of human connection at work


This is a must-listen for anyone seeking a more purpose-driven approach to work. Seth's book can help transform workplaces and create an environment where everyone can do their best work.
