We are reading The Power of Mattering by Zach Mercurio! Email us if you are interested in participating: shencofyichair@gmail.com
Through a captivating exploration of the emerging science of mattering and drawing from hands-on work in hundreds of diverse industries and organizations, researcher and speaker Zach Mercurio reveals how mattering to others is a fundamental—yet often overlooked—requirement for thriving.
He introduces a simple yet effective framework for making daily interactions with your people more meaningful:
Noticing: the practice of seeing and hearing others
Affirming: the practice of showing people how their unique gifts make a difference
Needing: the practice of showing people they're relied on and indispensable
