How to Grow Professionally featuring Jennifer Fonseca

"Begin to visualize, with as much clarity as you can, your future self—or even imagine yourself at your retirement party. What are people saying about you? What impact and contributions do you want to have made?"

In this episode of Lead with Culture, Jennifer Fonseca, a senior coach and certified Dream Manager at Floyd Consulting, talks about how job satisfaction stems not from tasks but from who your team becomes while performing them. Jennifer shares the necessity of aligning professional and personal lives to create a more engaged, purpose-driven workforce. We also discuss why Gen Z values purposeful work and prefers coaching over managing, and how you can leverage this to foster a thriving workplace.
