This book is all about engagement. And if I can engage you just long enough, you'll acquire a unique methodology that identifies your engagement pain points and provides a structured plan for increasing your overall engagement in your work, play, and relationships.A 2017 Gallup survey revealed that "worldwide employee engagement is only 15%." 15%? The fact that this number isn't even close to an overwhelming majority, or at least a modest 50%, is incredibly disheartening.Given the amount of time we spend at work, we may as well spend this time pursuing fruitful, meaningful activities. Without true engagement, we can't optimize our talents. We can't fully enrich or enjoy our lives without holistically engaging every part of our livelihood.With the Gallup survey in mind, I've developed an integrated, unique methodology that refines your life-long mission, which includes both mission maturity (refining your mission as you interact with the world) and mission fulfillment (the tangible realization of your goals and actions).In this book, we'll deconstruct your mission into three lifelines, which represent all three parts of your life: professional, personal, and social. Each of these lifelines requires engagement so that you can lead an integrated, fulfilling life.Each of your three lifelines is broken up into three individual components, which I call "fundamentals," that reinforce themselves. And, finally, we discover that purpose, passion, and persistence are the foundational roots of our mission, lifelines, and fundamentals.As an added bonus, you'll find helpful worksheets and visuals, provided at the end of the book, to facilitate your understanding and jumpstart your journey to engaging a fulfilling life! And as a double bonus, the last chapter of this book offers business insights on employee engagement, which can materially impact your company or organization. This book will cover engagement on a personal, individual level that resonates with you directly. And, for companies and employees alike, this book will provide unique insights into improving employee engagement and cultivating better opportunities for you in the workplace. If you bring this book's business insights into your organization, you'll realize gradual, long-lasting impact in your company's culture and performance. This book is just as valuable for organizations as it is for individuals, and I equally encourage both organizations and individuals to leverage this book for their benefit!The main message behind this book is for you, the reader, to understand that you must engage yourself in your work AND your play, not just one or the other. And as you improve in engaging different parts of your life, you'll realize the synergistic and compounding results that committed engagement offers you. The contents of this book will add value to a wide range of people. Engagement and purpose fulfillment are relevant topics that impact the 22-year-old recent graduate, 20-year industry professional, and the recent 65-year-old retiree.My main purpose for creating this book is to influence YOU to capitalize on the offerings that arise from a fully engaged, integrated life. With true engagement comes discovery, new learnings, and enlightened action. Thank you for your interest in this book. I hope it serves you and provides an insightful perspective that enhances your approach to work, play, and relationships.If you reflect upon and implement the concepts discussed in this book, you will lead a more engaged life that brings you fulfillment, enrichment, and unlimited opportunity. Engagement starts with your mind and ends in your daily interactions with the outside world. This book will help you get your mind right, but it's up to you to implement your learnings in your day-to-day actions, behaviors, and habits.Keep your mind open, eyes abreast, and ears active! I hope this book serves you along your journey: )
