About us
The last few years have permanently changed work. People, at every level, every role, and every age, are demanding more. Meaning, purpose, energy, excitement, well-being, dignity, flexibility, and the ability to fully-express not just their skills and abilities, but also their sense of self and identity have become non-negotiable. People don’t just want to live good lives in the margins outside work, they want to live good lives during and through their work. Organizations who deliver these new workplace non-negotiables will set themselves up to gain a powerful competitive advantage, unlocking the power of a fully-engaged and awakened workforce. They’ll also become known as the “employers of choice” for the new world-of-work order. The problem is, the old-school tools and strategies that used to help talent professionals, leaders, coaches, and advisors deliver “just enough” to keep people baseline checked-in (most of which were built for a now-dated paradigm) are not coming close to meeting this moment. The Sparketype Assessment, along with its rapidly growing tools, strategies, programming, and the flagship ICF-approved Certified Sparketype Advisor training, are changing the game. Drawing upon the input of nearly 1-million people, generating 50-million data-points, and serving as one of the largest-ever studies on work-life engagement, satisfaction, motivation, and performance, the Sparketype Assessment, alone, has become a global phenomenon. It speaks to the moment like no other tool. Beyond the immediate feeling of validation and possibility, our data reveal strong correlations between doing the work of your Sparketype (which our tools and processes help people do) and the very qualities people are now demanding in their work: meaning, purpose, energy and excitement, flow, expressed potential. Beneficially, these very same states are also powerful drivers of performance, productivity, motivation, loyalty, and growth.

Have you ever felt unfairly judged at work because of your age? Generational stereotypes in the workplace are more than just annoying - they're potentially harmful and often wildly inaccurate. But what if there was a better way? Dr. Jessica Kriegel and I explore a radical new approach to workplace culture that goes beyond generational labels in this SPARKED Newsletter. Here's what I learned: 1. Generational stereotypes are often just ageism in disguise. 2. Employee engagement is dead - it's time to focus on fulfillment instead. 3. There's a powerful place for love and belonging at work. These insights challenge us to rethink how we approach culture, engagement, and human potential in our organizations. By focusing on individual experiences, aligning personal and organizational purposes, and fostering genuine care and support, we can unleash the true power of culture. Dr. Kriegel's research offers a roadmap for creating more fulfilling, productive, and human-centered workplaces in our rapidly evolving world of work. Her ideas are both revolutionary and deeply practical. What's your experience with generational stereotypes at work? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

Have you ever felt powerless in the face of workplace toxicity? I recently had the privilege of speaking with Kim Scott, author of "Radical Candor" and "Radical Respect." Our conversation unveiled a powerful framework for transforming workplace culture that I write about in this SPARKED newsletter. Here's what struck me: 1. The triad of workplace toxicity - bias, prejudice, and bullying - each requires a unique approach. 2. Being an "upstander" can create a ripple effect of positive change. 3. Good intentions aren't enough; fairness must be systematically designed into our organizations. 4. Small, consistent actions can shift us from vicious to virtuous cycles of respect. 5. Acknowledging our own fallibility opens the door to growth and mutual support. What's your experience with workplace respect? Have you witnessed or implemented any game-changing strategies? Share your thoughts in the comments - let's learn from each other and spark a respect revolution in our workplaces!
