LaPora Lindsey

On this mini live stream we briefly dive into why your best employees don't always look like the best best employees. Workplace value takes many forms, let's talk about what some of that value may look like.

Kindness in the workplace is essential, it adds value in so many ways. In this mini stream we will explore what kindness in the workplace can look like and how it benefits the team.

What if employee engagement isn’t something leaders create?

What if it’s something everyone contributes to and nurture the environment for it?

In nature, ecosystems don’t survive because of one role, they survive because energy and responsibility is shared.

Are you confusing a happy employee with an engaged one?

We talk about employee engagement all the time, but what if we're not all talking about the same thing?

Many leaders assume that if an employee loves their job, enjoys their coworkers, or shows excitement at work, they must be highly engaged. But are job satisfaction and employee engagement really the same thing?

In this livestream, LaPora Lindsey explores the difference between loving your job and feeling connected to the organization’s goals and mission. We'll discuss why employees can enjoy aspects of their work while still struggling to see how their contributions connect to the bigger picture, and why that distinction matters for leaders, teams, and organizations.

Join the conversation as we unpack common misconceptions about engagement, explore what the term means, and discuss why understanding the difference may change how we think about workplace value and culture altogether.

Most people think their value is fixed, but workplace value is contextual.

And to be clear, self-worth is not what I’m talking about, you are are always worth as a person. That is non-negotiable.

What I’m referring to is how value is translated in the workplace: how your contribution is perceived, received, and understood by others.

I learned this the hard way in a nonprofit setting where I walked in focused on correcting problems, and left realizing the most valuable thing I brought wasn’t what I thought it was.

It wasn’t about doing more. It was about translating and that is essential to engagement, collaboration, and impact at work.

If your team is navigating issues with engagement, communication, or how individual value shows up at work, I’d be glad to connect.

Who is responsible for saving whom?

In the workplace, when a problem surfaces like decreased engagement, we often look for someone to blame.
-We blame leaders.
-We blame the person who raised the issue.
-We blame the bystanders who didn't step in.

One reason I enjoy speaking and facilitating workshops is that I get to challenge the idea that change or workplace value belongs to a certain title, role, or person. Change can happen when each of us recognizes the part we play.

When we're part of a system, it can be difficult to see our own influence. But once we understand our sphere of influence, and how our actions affect others, we can start making adjustments that create momentum in the dynamics of the entire workplace ecosystem.
