Sorry we missed you...
See the recap here!
It's not personal, it's business was a great way to wrap 2022 and the "How to solve for (wh)Y" virtual series. We’ve got the event recording, board captures, and how to stay connected with Work Forward for future events.
Our host, Natalie Born, along with Mickey McManus and Theresa Ward, led us through provoking thought-starters, Greek mythology, superhero comparisons, and topical book recommendations (see the list below).
Below you’ll see the Mural board that we used, capturing the warm-up, key thoughts, and what each team had to say about making work personal. You can also view the event recording.
Event MURAL
Speaker panel
Host, Natalie Born, was joined by two experts and facilitators to discuss their “whys,” how they derive meaning from work, personal relationships in the workplace, and more.
- Mickey McManus, Senior Advisor and Leadership Coach at Boston Consulting Group and Author of Trillions
- Theresa Ward, Founder of The Fiery Feather, Empathy Coach, and Consultant
- “One thing I would change about society and the future of work…I would generally encourage anyone in a position of leadership or influence to remember that everyone is doing the best they can with the information they have at any given time.” — Theresa Ward
Quotes
Some highlighted quotes from our conversation are:
-
“Let the journey be messy.”
-
“We thrive when we can be ourselves and create/innovate better.”
-
“Learning happens through desirable difficulties.”

Next, we broke into smaller groups to discuss the pros and cons of making work personal. After insightful and thought-provoking conversations, we came back together to conclude, it is inevitable.
