Positive Psychology, a fairly recent subdiscipline of psychology, defines dimensions of well-being according to “PERMA” (Positive Emotion, Engagement, Positive Relationships, Meaning, Accomplishments/Achievements). This relates well to Daniel H. Pink’s breakdown of what motivates people (Mastery, Autonomy, Purpose). Together, these two models can provide a backdrop for how we think about our own careers and well being. In this talk, we will dive into the models and tie them to stories of resilience, exploration, career change, and re-commitment to career. The goal of the talk is to give listeners a background of frameworks that they can use as they explore their own journeys in 2022 and beyond. [...] RECOMMENDED BOOKS Daniel H.
