Work is a defining part of our identities, relationships, and sense of purpose. It can be one of the most meaningful aspects of our lives, driving engagement, organizational commitment, and well-being. Yet, the pursuit of meaningful work also comes with risks—over-identification, exploitation, and burnout.

In this talk, leading expert in applied positive psychology Andrew Soren unpacks the paradox of meaningful work, exploring both its transformative potential and hidden challenges. Drawing on cutting-edge research from psychology and organizational behavior, he examines how meaningful work is created, where it manifests, and why it can be both an asset and a liability. Most importantly, Soren shares evidence-based strategies for fostering sustainable approaches to meaningful work, emphasizing the vital role of open dialogue. By giving voice to meaning in the workplace, individuals and organizations can navigate its complexities with greater awareness, resilience, and ethical clarity.
