At the individual level, you need to examine what you truly value, share this with key stakeholders in various life domains both to get feedback and support, and then to experiment with new ways of doing things so that - over the arc of a life - you can achieve harmony and have more of what it is that you uniquely want out of life.

The act of envisioning is mainly useful as a means for identifying what matters most to you now.

People struggle most with seeing new ways of doing things and often need help in breaking through their tradition-bound mindsets.

Firms that fully embrace the needs and interests of the whole person will win today's competition for the best talent.

People of all ages, but especially young people, require work that as meaning, or social value. Since they're not getting the kind of long-term guarantees of yore, they're willing to job hop to find the right fit.
