Dan Pontefract | How To Nurture A Team That Flourishes

Are you striving for the elusive “work-life balance” and finding it’s not quite working?

In this episode of Leadership Biz Cafe, I welcome back my friend, and fellow leadership expert (and Canadian) Dan Pontefract to discuss his book, “Work-Life Bloom: How to Nurture a Team That Flourishes“, where he argues work-life balance is a misleading and at times harmful concept.

As Dan puts it, work and life aren’t opposing forces, but distinct entities that interact and influence one another.

Over the course of our conversation, Dan and I discuss:

• Why the concept of work-life balance is flawed.
• The four work-life personas of his “Work-Life Bloom” model.
• The importance of trust, belonging, and feeling valued at work to employees thriving at work.
• Why agency is crucial to empowering employees.

Tune in to learn more about Dan’s Work-Life Bloom model with its four different personas that shape our work and life selves, and why we need to let go of trying to find that work-life balance.
