Why We Show Up: Creating Work that Matters (and Feels Good)


Work is changing faster than most of us can keep up with. AI is reshaping how roles are designed, traditional career paths are giving way to something less defined, teams are doing more with less, and stress is showing up in places it didn't before.

Based on her latest book Why Are We Here? Creating a Work Culture Everyone Wants (Harvard BusinessPress), Jennifer Moss draws on behavioural science and stories from real people navigating real change to share what's actually happening across today's workforce, and what you can do about it.


Takeaways:

  • The four unexpected shifts in how we relate to work, explained through behavioural science
  • How to find purpose and motivation when the path forward feels uncertain
  • Practical ways to protect your energy and avoid burnout in an always on, AI accelerated workplace
  • How to build genuine connection and belonging at work, even in hybrid and distributed teams
  • Tools to move from change fatigue to change readiness
  • A simple framework for working alongside AI without losing what makes your contribution distinctly human
  • How to reconnect with the reasons you show up, and make them work for you
