How the Lack of Purpose Workshop Works
A step-by-step breakdown of the workshop process
1Introduction
In this opening segment, the facilitator welcomes participants and introduces the importance of purpose in motivation, particularly in remote settings. A poll assesses how connected team members feel to their work's purpose, followed by a discussion on reasons for losing that connection.
2The Purpose Challenge
Participants break into small groups to discuss personal experiences with meaningful work versus routine tasks. They reflect on what made work meaningful and identify patterns contributing to the loss of purpose, sharing insights with the larger group afterward.
3Key Strategies for Strengthening Purpose
The facilitator presents three strategies to help teams reconnect with purpose: clarifying individual impact, reinforcing team and customer impact, and celebrating contributions. Participants engage in a chat discussion, sharing what makes their work feel meaningful and emphasizing key themes.
