How To Find Ultimate Fulfilment At Work: Marcus Buckingham

I lost my dad, I lost my marriage, I sold my company. Then you sort of ask yourself, what you doing with your life? My name's Markus Buckingham. He's a best selling author, a rock star in corporate America. I couldn't say my own name until I was twelve. The more you try to fix a stamina, the worse it gets. From a very early age we start telling people that strength is what you're good at. But yeah, I'm good at some things I hate. What's that? That's a weakness. I had got myself into a position where I was solely responsible for one huge client, Disney. I look like I sort of feel confident, but I had years of panic attacks. It was super psychologically damaging. To be trying to be somebody that you're not.

The first relationship you better have is a really good one with yourself. The best people in any job, they find love in the activities themselves. Love is for work and work is for love. And if we do that, it's not just individualistically satisfying, it's what companies want from us. So without further ado. I'm Steven Butlett.

And this is the Dira CEO, USA Edition. I hope nobody's listening. But if you are then please keep this to yourself. Marcus.
