ZingTrain Speaker Series Season 2 : Creating a Business Built on Purpose
Vic Strecher could talk to you eloquently and cogently about public health, adventures, the life of cows and dogs in India, dung beetles, modern neuroscience and ancient philosophy, entrepreneurship, disease prevention, innovation .... and if that's not reason enough to come and listen to Dr. Strecher talk then perhaps this is. Vic Strecher recently emerged from a life experience that made him question his ultimate purpose and being the kind of person he is, he distilled his learnings from the journey into a book On Purpose : a self-help guide, college lecture, confessional, and time-travel adventure all rolled into one. On Purpose uses a beautiful, fantasy-fueled, graphic novel format to tell a story of self-discovery and personal growth you'll never forget.
This is what Dr. Strecher has to say in this session of the Speaker Series:
YOU may wonder how some businesses achieve such engagement and commitment from the employees who work there. You see their passion. You see their purpose. It’s not just this is what I do. It’s this is who I am.
CAN your organization create a collective, authentic purpose that ignites this engagement? Without the traditional tools of power and hierarchy?
MAKE this year the time you create a stronger purpose in your business and in your life.
A business with a North Star.
BETTER than you had imagined.
BUSINESS that transcends the word.
