Your Best Work: Create Meaningful Engagement at Work for Ourselves and Our Teams

This keynote presentation, based on Tom Morin’s book, Your Best Work, shows how all work can be deeply meaningful, inspires each of us to contribute to wellbeing through our work, and empowers leaders to engage their teams in the important tasks they do every day.

For decades, workplace disengagement and dissatisfaction has ranged between 30% and 50%. These workers are burned-out, lonely, and bored. Although many of us have experienced these feelings at least once in our careers, understanding how we can make our own work meaningful is the first step toward helping others do the same.

Tom Morin has had a diverse, challenging, and sometimes dangerous working life. In this presentation, he takes the audience through a mortar attack in the former-Yugoslavia, a knee-weakening accident on a drilling rig, and his life-changing experience while mountaineering at high-altitude in Peru.

Each time he nearly died at work, Tom was challenged to find meaning in his work. It was his brushes with death that showed him how doing the work we love, and contributing to wellbeing through our work, creates a deeply meaningful working life.

Highlights

• Gripping and motivating stories from Tom’s challenging and dangerous career
• Audience participates in defining engagement at work
• Actionable recommendations for improving our own and our teams’ engagement at work

This keynote presentation

• Is suitable for any audience
• Can be customized for leaders seeking to engage their teams, or for individuals seeking to identify how their current work contributes to wellbeing
• Can be presented as a customized, multi-hour, interactive workshop designed for leaders seeking to engage their teams.

Make or Break the Company: Decision-making in Critical Moments

This keynote presentation inspires accountability, employee engagement, and effective leadership.

One night, during his military service in the former-Yugoslavia, Tom Morin made a decision in a critical moment that could have resulted in lives being lost. After that night, Tom made it his mission to never let default behavior and biases put anyone in harm’s way.
