Episode notes

Work-life imbalances are not solely about the number of hours worked or the amount of self-care activities done. It is more about the emotional state employees bring home. Working late doesn't directly harm children, but returning home with negative emotions like anger or fear due to dissatisfaction with work can negatively impact children. Feeling safe both at work and at home is crucial for achieving life balance and it's the duty of leadership to ensure this safety for employees.

What if the secret to a fulfilling life was simpler than you thought? My guest Simon Sinek offers a visionary perspective on transforming work into a source of passion and purpose. Simon believes we all have the capacity to live inspired, safe, and fulfilled lives, yet too many are deprived of this. He may be best known for starting a movement with his TED talk and book Start With Why, which explores how great leaders inspire action by putting purpose before product. He’s gone on to write global bestsellers like Leaders Eat Last and The Infinite Game, sharing his insights on creating fulfillment in business and life.

In this powerful conversation, Simon shares practical wisdom on building environments where we and others can thrive, along with insightful stories. His message: bringing care, dignity, and connection to everything we do allows us to live our best lives.
