The 7people Podcast: Your Guide to Creating Irresistible Organizations9. Strengths-based Working: Unleash your Superpower! 🦸♀️ (feat. Eva de Meijier)What if we studied what was right with people, rather than what’s wrong with them? 💪

Most likely: you can naturally start performing at a higher level, grow faster in these areas, and collaborate more effectively across people's different strengths, to become a high-performing TEAM (not just a group of high performers).

New Business Radio - Work#425 The Great ResignationDenk jij door de pandemie aan een carrière switch? Twijfel je aan de rol van werk in je leven? Als dat zo is, dan ben je niet de enige.
Volgens recent onderzoek van Microsoft overweegt meer dan 40 procent van de wereldwijde beroepsbevolking dit jaar hun werkgever te verlaten – en dat is veel meer dan normaal. In de VS noemen ze het: “The great resignation”; met 4 miljoen mensen die in juli ontslag namen. Ook in Europa zijn er tekenen dat er meer mensen hun baan opzeggen dan normaal.
