Welcome to episode 11 of the Thriving Leaders Podcast, brought to you by Credence & Co.  Today Jason Dykstra speaks with Mary Pat Hinton about the topic of employee engagement, which is something Mary Pat’s company takes extremely seriously.  So serious, that they make sure that your goals and values (i.e. I want to take my daughter to horseback riding every week) are inked into the contract.

Here are some of the topics that they explore in their conversation:

• How to uncover passion in your employees
• Creating roles based on your employee’s passions and abilities
• How “choosing your job” impacts an organization’s culture
• Being comfortable with your offering
• Self-awareness around our strengths and challenges
• Why leaders need to model the behaviour
• Contracting around your dreams
• How to find out what really matters to your employees and staff members
