Jonathan Fields Speaking Topics

SPARKED AT WORK
Work could be so much better, and organizations could win so much bigger: Stressed out, disconnected and unfulfilled, that’s the state of work today. Some 55% of workers are dissatisfied, 66% are not engaged, 33% feel like they’ve reached career dead-ends and the fastest-growing segment—young, purpose-seeking workers—are fleeing jobs devoid of personal significance. At the same time, organizations with highly-engaged teams grow earnings 4-times faster, are more productive, retain employees longer, and show 21% greater profitability.
What if your employees were performing at peak potential? Filled with purpose, fully engaged and alive? This is what happens when they are “sparked!” Anyone can work from this place, regardless of job, title or industry, once they discover their research-based Sparketype®, the unique source-code for work that makes them come fully alive.
Jonathan Fields—the Good Life Guy—is on a decades-long quest to discover what makes people come fully alive. He developed the Sparketypes®, a powerful tool used by over 300,000 people to identify their purpose, engagement and flow—and transform how they work, lead and live.

Sparked Leadership
What makes a great leader? Skill and experience play a role, of course. But, to unlock their true potential, along with new levels of engagement and performance in their teams, leaders need to know:
- The unique source-code or “Sparketype®” for work that makes them come alive
- The Sparketype for those they lead
Understanding this about oneself and others gives leaders the rare ability to both lead from a place of unbridled purpose, engagement and potential, and also inspire the same in those they lead.
