Episode Description

There is a growing urgency, a hunger to experience more meaning and purpose in life and at work. Danny Gutknecht further asserts that the need to actualize is becoming a cultural phenomenon. Throughout history, there have been those who moved away from institutions and struggled to assume responsibility for their own meaning and tap the essence of who they are through various practices and inquiries. One by one, people are slipping off the chains, turning away from the cave wall, and crawling out into the sunlight to realize their true potentials for the first time. Join us as Danny illuminates how people individuate by differentiating themselves along the path of meaning and how organizations can help them along their journey.
