Listen on:
This summer on Dominate Your Day, we are returning to the episode vault to bring back experts to discuss each of Gallup's five essential areas of wellbeing: Purpose, Social, Financial, Physical, and Community. Today we explore Career Wellbeing — what Gallup defines as liking what you do every day and having a sense of purpose in your work. Only 20 percent of people globally say they are thriving in this area. This episode is for the other 80 percent.

Angela Burgess — founder of Broad Oaks Consulting — describes what it feels like when your values stop aligning with your work, and what happens when you find the courage to go a different path.
Georgie Enthoven — author of Work That's Worth It — talks about the 90,000 hours every leader has and the questions we need to start asking.
Michelle Merritt — Chief Strategy Officer of D&S Executive Career Management — explains why 85 percent of opportunities come through people and how to work that truth intentionally.
