How can you help your team find meaning and purpose?
A not so obvious way to help team members align around one’s purpose is to demonstrate it with a hands-on example like a community engagement activity vs a team building event throwing axes or top golf. At @Wish for Wheels, we exist to empower well-being in children, families and communities. We do this through a hands-on, fun, connecting experience building bikes with employees then they give the bikes to under-resourced 7 & 8 year old children one-on-one by fitting their helmet and seat then teaching them to ride the bike. It’s a purely magical experience and demonstrates a company’s commitment to their purpose, community and perhaps most importantly, to their employees that they truly believe in all!
