Companies are Moving from Great Resignation to Great Retention: How to Motivate Remote Workers By Building A Culture Worth Staying For, Interview with Leadership Expert and Ph.D.

According to the 2021 People Management Report, 48% of employees have thought about quitting in the past 12 months. Companies are trying to avoid falling prey to The Great Resignation by morphing it into The Great Retention. One way companies are striving to keep employees is by offering more flexibility either through job sharing (two part-time employees doing a full-time job) or allowing employees to continue remote work. A recent survey suggested that over 60% of remote workers view working from home as a positive experience. Yet as with most good things there are downsides as well. A separate study listed the following struggles that remote workers find themselves facing including:

-Saying they are unable to separate work life from personal life

-Battling loneliness 

-Struggling with communication between colleagues

-Not understanding workplace culture

-Working longer hours and feeling undervalued

Dr. Wayne Pernell, a leadership expert with a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology devotes his career to helping leaders achieve not only personal success, but to motivate those they lead as well. A good leader is nothing without the support of those they influence. He says that “It is more important than ever for leaders to recognize why people lose motivation and how leaders can get them re-engaged.” While a remote position may offer the flexibility many employees crave it can cause fear of missing out on opportunities for promotion, collaboration, workplace politics, and even workplace fun.

“Dr. P” was just named one of The Top Motivational Speakers To Follow in 2022 In an interview Dr. Pernell can share the following tips to help ensure equal engagement for remote and in-office employees:

-Equity: All means all. It can be easy for people who are out of sight to be out of mind as well. Remote workers must be included in group communication. This solidifies them as important members of the team regardless of where their work is being done.

-Equal Consideration: When positions open and employees are considered for promotion, leaders must ensure equal consideration is given to both in-office and remote workers. Consideration should be based on a variety of factors, not just location. 

-Inclusive Social Events: Team-building events and opportunities should include a variety of in-person and virtual options. Plan get-togethers - annually, semi-annually, or quarterly. Build travel and lodging back into your budget so as to be fully inclusive.

-Encourage Equally: Take time each week to publicly acknowledge people's achievements within the organization. Recognition is important for morale.

-Balance autonomy with attention: Giving employees the freedom to work on projects on their own time and that fuel their own interests is a great way to keep up morale. Balance this with checking in to ensure that employees have what they need to complete their tasks and assign specific tasks with intention. Telling someone why you chose them for a specific task gives them a sense of ownership.

-Values-Based Vision: Let your employees know what your company stands for and ensure that these values are put into action daily. Being part of something bigger than themselves helps give people a reason to stay.

In a thought-provoking and deeply authentic trek to truth, Becky Tahel (content creator with over 40 million views across social & actress, Mixology, and Jdate’s Matzo Ball Commercial) wrestles with religion, love, and identity after her sister’s interfaith marriage. Becky journeys to carve out her identity as an Israeli immigrant in Los Angeles by consulting a handful of Rabbis (including LA’s own Rabbi Wolpe and Rabbi Susan Goldberg), religious experts (including Reza Aslan), mentors (including the former boss, Eric Andre), and her family around her initial question, "should I marry Jewish?" What she finds changes her initial question to "why be Jewish?" & shifts the very course of her life. ‘American Birthright’ isn't a solely Jewish story — Becky gives an authentic voice to those struggling to fit in, find their purpose and identity, and own their individuality in a world that begs assimilation.

'American Birthright' is a significant film that follows an honest and complex search for truth and religious identity. - Judy Gruen, Aish

By including so many diverse voices and celebrating the decisions by both sisters, the documentary refrains from dogmatically pushing a single message about Jewish faith and intermarriage. Rather, audiences see the sisters’ unique personal journeys and are given questions to help them reflect on their own lives. - Sophie Panzer, The Jewish Exponent

For a woman who was making her first documentary film, this effort is amazing. I had a wonderful time watching this film, self-examining my own life as it related to hers.  And thinking of others in my life who live on both sides of this idea/question of interfaith marriages and, at its core, faith as you as a person see and experience it. - John Strange, Selig Film News

It is so easy to deflect our own personal truths just so we don't have to face those questions in the mirror. ‘American Birthright’ isn't just a film about Jewish discovery. It's about the personal discovery that anyone, from any religion, can relate to. A must-see. - Mark Sugiyama, Eclectic Arts Media

Winner — Best Documentary Director, Idyllwild International Festival of Cinema; Best Documentary (Audience Choice), Seattle Jewish Film Festival.

As a writer & producer, Becky has worked with some of the most influential content creators — from Jake Paul and Eric Andre, to Jay Shetty and Gabby Bernstein. She has produced content for countless brands worldwide, generating over 30 million views across social media. Her award-winning documentary, American Birthright, has garnered international acclaim, and she was invited to speak at the Israeli President's Residence about her creative work. She currently speaks globally about the power of content creation & continues to copywrite, ghost-write, produce, and create for brands, influencers, and organizations worldwide.

Meet The Mum That’s Helping Everyday American Women Share Their Powerful Stories and Become Published Authors In 48 Hours

I started Ultimate 48 Hour Author after having written my very first book called The Seven Ultimate Secrets to Weight Loss. This book was written because I wanted to get a life coaching business off the ground, and I had no clients and no ability to generate leads or
prospects. So I thought my big marketing idea was to come out with a book which I did. I wrote the first book in a matter of 80 days and had it published within six months. So that was also a fast way of getting a book out. And ever since that book came out, I became a six figure business owner within the next 12 months. I got speaking opportunities, media coverage, and grew through the business to a sustainable level where I could quit my part time job.

After that I wrote two more books and one of the books that I co-authored, I suggested to my author to go away on a weekend and write this book, over that weekend. Um, Iworked out that if we were to speak out our chapters, that we would be able to get the content done really quickly. And we actually only took three hours each of speaking to speak out that particular book. And that book came out in less than 72 days after the whole publishing process. And then a few months later, the idea was born that if I could write half a book in just three hours, then others could do a whole book over a 48 hour retreat. And I announced that I would run the first retreat in October, 2013. And that's where it all began. I had the pilot group of people who already liked me, and trusted me. And my whole idea was to come up with something that was end to end and not just a book mentoring or coaching. I wanted to include absolutely everything which meant taking people away, feeding them and having the whole publishing and all the details sorted out from start to finish for them and that where it all came about.

Bob has retired 5 times so far from 5 different occupations, but is going strong as a Professional Grandfather. Job specification is to strive for a future for the youngsters of today, and a future worth surviving in. They are “Generation Z,” and if business as usual continues, that label is prophetic. Going back to the invention of agriculture and animal husbandry some 10,000 years ago, every generation has stolen from its future. This is it: there is no more future to steal from. We need to change or we’ll join the dodo. According to best predictions, we still have a chance of saving a future, but it is a SMALL window.

All our current problems are symptoms of a global culture that rewards and encourages the worst in human nature: greed, fear-and-hate of others (which is the one monster), short term thinking. Our one hope is a miraculous transformation into a global culture of empathy, decency, cooperation, examining the long-term implications of our actions.

The second part, building a future worth surviving in, is to aim for a global culture that rewards and encourages the best in human nature: empathy, decency, cooperation, examining the long-term implications of our actions.

Even if it didn’t save the world, wouldn’t it be better to live in such a society?

How to achieve it? Every sentient being is an apprentice Buddha, an apprentice Jesus. You are not here to gain wealth, power, status, admiration, even happiness, but to progress toward enlightenment. We are caterpillars feeding on the green leaves of experience, until we can graduate as butterflies and can get off the wheel of life.

If most people realized this, we’d be there. Because, how does an apprentice learn? In two ways: By learning from a master, and by making mistakes and learning from them. Many enlightened spirits have shown us how. You can certainly think of several examples, but it is enough quote one. The Dalai Lama has said, “My religion is kindness. The purpose of enlightenment is to be of service.”

Part of Bob’s expertise is in positive psychology: research-based tools for rising way above “normal,” which is the walking wounded. Interestingly, these tools are identical to the recommendations of Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Confucianism, and every other great religion, but an atheist can use them, and gain enlightenment.

All of Bob’s 19 published books carry this message, but without preaching, because he runs the other way when someone preaches at him. The aim of all writing, even instructional books, is to entertain. One reviewer of “From Depression to Contentment: A self-therapy guide” has written, “All of Bob’s novels I’ve read are full of therapeutic lessons. Here is a book designed as a set of therapeutic lessons that is as enjoyable to read as any novel.”

His writing includes science fiction, historical fiction, and whatever else his characters tell him to write, a biography that has won several awards, and self-help books in varied fields including psychology, woodcraft, owner-building, and dealing with cancer. Five books, and over 40 short stories have won awards.

Bob is an experienced interviewee, and his responses to questions follow his dictum: “Life is too short for the seriousness it deserves.” He is a grumpy old man with no sense of humor, but he easily shows that his audience has a sense of humor: they tend to laugh at what he says or writes.

Dr Bob Rich is an Australian storyteller who started writing in 1980 because a bunch of teenagers kidnapped him. He was making adobe bricks for the house he was building with his own hot little hands when they descended on him, because they needed one more male for a boys vs. girls soccer game. Who was he to disobey? Naturally, he soon slipped on the mud he’d carried with him, and ended up in hospital with torn cartilage in his knee. His advice: don’t tear the cartilage in your knee!

Bored out of his mind, he borrowed the office typewriter (remember those?) and wrote his first article on building, something he was an expert on, given his Ph.D. in psychology. His words took flight, and his first book, on how to build your house, sold hundreds of thousands of copies. It went through 4 editions between 1986 and 2018.

Later, he trained as a nurse, which toughened him enough to be able to transition into psychotherapy despite his all-too-overdeveloped empathy. The first lesson of nursing is, “It’s not your pain. You are not there to share it, but to relieve it.” Therapy is even better: you’re there to empower your client to relieve it.

However, while in nursing school, he was surrounded by gorgeous 18-year-olds, and had the choice of making a fool of himself or doing something creative. So, he wrote short stories. The first one he submitted to a contest won a prize, and he was hooked.

All his life, Bob has been a secular Buddhist. He discovered this when wanting to get married. The girl asked to marry in her church, and the minister interviewed Bob to see if he would admit a nonbeliever into the hallowed precincts. After an afternoon of chatting, he said, “You’re a Buddhist, did you know that? Now, let’s set the date.”

Given the handicap of a scientific training, Bob doesn’t believe anything but goes with the evidence. To check on this claim, he needed to spend a day at the University library, not having  a time machine to access the internet. He found his belief system there, and since then has considered Siddhartha Gautama his favorite teacher, though there are many others, including a Jewish carpenter.

Bob’s major passion is being a Professional Grandfather. He has hundreds of grandkids all around Earth (none in Antarctica presently). They track him down with emails of despair, and having the gift of healing words, he almost invariably leads them to a good life. Some cease contact once they are OK. Others stay in touch for years from friendship, from having joined his team and needing advice on how to help others, and often for needing their hand held after a backslide. There is no greater joy than being of service, so despite his busy schedule, mentoring and supporting them is top priority.

7,630 miles. 12,279 kilometers. That is the physical distance between California and Iran. Culturally the differences span thousands of years, passed down through a rich history of dance, music, theater, food, and language. What happens when we are born into a culture that is both home and also 7,630 miles away from our deeply-rooted heritage?

Niosha Nafei Jamali created a home for Persian heritage of the past and the heritage yet to be created with her organization, NICA (the Niosha International Conservatory of Arts). She could see the longing for a distant homeland within her community and feel the desire to preserve Iranian culture, heritage, and traditions in this new home. The NICA Foundation presents modern and traditional art forms that bridge time and space, connecting people from all cultures and walks of life through art. She must be doing something right - 357K followers on Instagram cannot get enough of her content about NICA, her dance academy, and Persian culture.

Niosha's dreams almost ended before they began. In 2002, at the age of 31, she was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and given a less than 40% chance of survival. Never one to be afraid of the odds, Niosha rallied her optimism, refusal to quit, and pure grit to recover from this disease. Her family and the Iranian Bay community drew in tight around her, and she miraculously recovered. Niosha and her dream lived on. Not the same as she was before, she was stronger and even more determined to preserve and promote her culture while championing her fellow survivors and becoming a leading fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.

Now, stronger than ever, Niosha creates programming for NICA along with the Niosha Dance Academy. On March 19 and March 20, NICA will present the Story of Nowruz, a 3,000 year-old tradition combining food, wine, art, and nature. Nowruz heralds the Persian New Year and is celebrated by more than 350M people in 17 countries worldwide. The show promotes love and unity through the universal language of movement and music. People from all walks of life are invited to attend live or remotely via livestream.

In this time of war, isolation, and divisiveness, Niosha welcomes the opportunity to share her story, promote unity, and invite others to join a growing community of people from around the globe in embracing a celebration of unity and love.

Comedian Maz Jobrani said about Niosha and NICA, "NICA is doing an incredible job telling the story of Nowruz to all. It's a special time of year celebrated by this very special kind of show."

When Niosha came to the United States as a teenager, she brought her love and talent for dance and innate curiosity to her new home. A dancer since she was two, Niosha remained immersed in her Persian heritage after coming to the U.S. In 1992 she won the Miss Iran pageant in Los Angeles, while completing her degree in psychology at the University of California at Santa Cruz. She went on to found the Niosha Dance Academy, an elite, prolific Iranian dance school, and the Niosha International Conservatory of Arts Foundation (NICA). Niosha lives in the Bay Area with her husband and children, among the community she loves.

Let's set the record straight! Twin Flames are not Soulmates. So says Elle Hari, one of the world's leading experts on Twin Flames. Twin Flames are actually the same soul! The soul inhabits two physical bodies when it is incarnated here in the 3D physical world, with separate polarities, like a magnetic negative/positive charge. In order for a soul to return to this plane, it has to accommodate the duality of our Earthly manifested existence. So it inhabits two bodies at the same time and your Twin Flame is your identical soul with the opposite charge. Soulmates are just one speck of our shared divine essence, but they are not the direct match that a Twin Flame is.  

This is just one of the fascinating facts that illuminate Elle's Twin Flames Exposed:  Why Most of What You Think You Know About Twin Flames Isn't True and How Understanding The Truth is the Key to Being with Your Twin Flame In This Lifetime- a short primer on this oft-debated subject - can you meet and find love with your Twin Flame? 

And yes, there is hope! But there is also a chance that your opposite polarization can repel your Twin Flame away from you. Some couples make it and others may only be short-lived. And, of course, there is a chance you may never actually encounter your Twin Flame. But reading Elle's book, getting private coaching, or enrolling in her e-course The Process, will give you a better chance of success than going it alone.  

One of the risks of going it solo is a certain mania that often accompanies someone engulfed in the Twin Flame Journey. Elle has developed a proprietary method that "helps people overcome the pain and obsessive thoughts associated with a Twin Flame journey and to eventually have a loving physical relationship with their Twin Flames."

Elle knows from experience! It was her own painful Twin Flame journey that sent her on a search out of the misery she experienced at the loss of her Twin Flame relationship - short-lived as it was! It was the single most painful experience of her life-unable to even get out of bed or leave the house. After several false starts, she found her teacher, a woman who was the world's leading expert on Twin Flames. She agreed to take Elle on and impart all that she knew to her apprentice before leaving her mortal existence. Today, Elle has assumed her mantel and is guiding those challenged Twin-Flame couples to a peaceful and loving co-existence that realizes the utmost soul-matching joy and sexuality achievable in this terrestrial life. 

And by the way, Elle was able to magnetize her Twin Flame love back into her life using her new-found skills!
