Does Anybody Want To Work Anymore? 85% are Disengaged! | Dr. Cari Skrdla, Ph.D., Jeanne-Marie Eayrs, Amy Sullivan Ryan aka Everything and JACK

DETAILS | Does anybody want to work anymore? Globally, work-induced stress remains at an all-time high, employee disengagement hit a 9-year high, and some stats speculate only 15% of employees are engaged at work! Has our perspective and paradigm around engagement, effort, and purpose at work fundamentally changed? Or are we just lazier now? In this supercharged episode, we debate this topic with the three fascinating women from the Everything and JACK podcast, bringing deep expertise and diverse perspectives. We explore wages, drive, generational differences, and where early education fails us! Further, the critical debate between hustle culture and work-life balance. We also discuss the bigger picture topics of rites of passage in our careers and how we actualize our dreams. It’s hard to understate how much fun this conversation was - five strong voices agreeing, disagreeing, and holding space for each other in a powerful exploration of a meteoric rise in disengagement in the workplace and where we go from here. 

GUESTS | In this episode, we feature three incredible and dynamic women from the Everything and JACK podcast, “a show about family, work, a lot of money, a little travel and some sex …”

Amy Sullivan Ryan has over 30 years in the wholesale automotive industry and has moved tens of thousands of vehicles across the country. She brings a refreshing level of integrity to the industry.
