Live from CultureCon, Nikki sits down with Ann Newman, Director of Learning at Goodwill Greater Milwaukee and Chicago, to talk about all things purpose, people, and the magic that happens when those two align 💫. Ann shares her take on the “secret sauce” that makes work feel meaningful, how to interview with purpose in mind, and her go-to tools like “rug checks” and “glows, grows, and gravities” that keep teams thriving. Whether you’re hiring, leading, or just looking to connect on a deeper level, this convo is packed with ah-ha moments and energizing insights 🙌. Additional Resources: CultureCon 2025 CultureCon on LinkedIn Follow PeopleForward Network on LinkedIn Learn more about PeopleForward Network Key Takeaways: Purpose alignment is a major driver of engagement and energy at work.

🚀 Remote work doesn’t mean disconnected work! Live from CultureCon, Jasmine Bellamy is joined by Greta Jackson, who shares how simple, structured fun—like Fun Fact Fridays and Photography Bingo—can transform remote engagement. Her golden rule?

If your remote team feels disconnected, this convo might just change the game. 🎧✨ Additional Resources: Follow The LOVING Leader on LinkedIn CultureCon 2025 CultureCon on LinkedIn Follow PeopleForward Network on LinkedIn Learn more about PeopleForward Network Key Takeaways: Engagement requires intentionality—it doesn’t happen by accident. Hybrid and remote workplaces need structure to build relationships. Hope alone won’t create engagement. Fun is part of the work experience. Simple, low-cost activities drive connection and workplace friendships. Consistency is key. A predictable cadence of engagement efforts helps build trust and participation. Adaptability is critical. Engagement strategies should be flexible and evolve based on employee needs.…

Leaders, listen up! 🎙️ If you don’t believe in what you’re leading, your team won’t either.

Tune in for real talk, practical tips, and a whole lot of leadership wisdom! 🚀 Additional Resources: CultureCon 2025 CultureCon on LinkedIn Follow PeopleForward Network on LinkedIn Learn more about PeopleForward Network Key Takeaways: Leaders must truly believe in what they are communicating, or employees will see through it.

When belief wavers, dig deeper: Is it a lack of information, a temporary situation, or fundamental misalignment?

Leadership starts with self-care—whether through morning routines, reflection, or personal growth, taking care of yourself helps you lead effectively.…
We’re featuring another great episode from Kate Volman, this time from her show Create for No Reason 🎨🎤📖! Entrepreneur, comedian, keynote speaker, and all-around creative powerhouse Brian Carter joins Kate Volman for a conversation packed with humor, wisdom, and no-nonsense advice on getting out of your own way. They dive into the messy, exciting, and sometimes frustrating creative process—how to stop waiting for the perfect moment, why bombing on stage (or in life) is part of the journey, and how AI might just be the worst (or best?) writing partner. If you’ve got ideas swirling in your head but haven’t taken action, this one’s for you! 🚀🔥 Additional Resources: Listen to Create for No Reason Listen to the original episode! Connect with Kate on LinkedIn Learn more about Floyd Consulting Follow PeopleForward Network on LinkedIn Learn more about PeopleForward Network Key Takeaways: Creativity requires persistence. The most successful creators aren’t necessarily the most talented—they’re the ones who keep going. Feedback is key.

Brian uses AI to assist in joke writing, but human creativity and refinement remain irreplaceable. Success is self-defined. Metrics like money and recognition matter, but real success is about creating something you’re proud of. Boredom fuels ideas. Giving your mind space to wander can unlock new creative breakthroughs.…
