Institute for Management Studies Taps Thought-Leader Marshall Goldsmith for Program on Individual Purpose
RENO, Nev., June 15, 2022 (Newswire.com) - While studies on "purpose anxiety" have been conducted for the last 10 years, the disorder is only recently being recognized as an issue for organizations, becoming a key factor in employee health, resilience and retention.
A study from the school of medicine at the University of California, San Diego, revealed that a keen sense of purpose and meaning in life is a key ingredient in our sense of well-being. Research has also shown a link between purpose and personal resilience.
To help organizations wrestling with this issue, The Institute for Management Studies (IMS) has tapped into the number 1 leadership thinker in the world, and best-selling author Dr. Marshall Goldsmith. Dr. Goldsmith will be offering a public program with the 48-year-old learning company to discuss findings from his latest book The Earned Life: Lose Regret, Choose Fulfillment.
"We are seeing the rise of 'purpose anxiety' which is used to represent the distress that many feel as they are struggling to discover a sense of meaning, including understanding how they can make a meaningful difference," states Charles Good, IMS CEO. "There have been plenty of events in the last three years to give rise to this, and there is no doubt that this issue is costing organizations every year in employee absenteeism from stress/burnout, or talent loss as employees search elsewhere for purpose."
During his one-hour public program for IMS, Dr. Goldsmith will offer practical advice and exercises aimed at shedding the obstacles that prevent employees from creating a fulfilling life. Organizations that attend will receive sage advice for helping to align employees' achievements, goals, choices, and aspirations to create a greater sense of purpose.
"As a result of the last three years, nearly everyone is having major shifts in their sources of purpose simultaneously," adds Charles Good. "There has rarely been as universal an opportunity for reinvention as right now. We look forward to this program discussing Marshall's findings on July 6."
Marshall Goldsmith's presentation for the IMS will take place on July 6 from 11am to noon EST. For more information go to Dr. Goldsmith's program information page at IMS.
