A viral post posited that expecting purpose or belonging from work is naive and "asking too much" of employers. But is that really true? In this episode, I push back on the cynicism and break down what it actually takes to create purposeful work -not just for idealists, but for real people in real roles.

Anatoly Masterovoy has made a life and career out of looking forward and taking action regardless of what the world is doing. Despite the setbacks he's experienced on his way toward his aspiration of becoming a CPO (Chief People Officer), he continues to show up and find the strength to put his attention where it belongs.

Join us to hear about what it takes to move from setback to setback on the way to victory without a loss of enthusiasm!
