What if the difference between helping someone fix a temporary problem and changing the course of their entire life came down to one simple question: Do I matter?

Every day, you show up for work that matters. You teach, heal, care, advocate, encourage. You carry people through some of the hardest moments of their lives.

But meaningful work can also be demanding work. When you spend your career pouring into others, how do you create an impact that lasts—while maintaining the sense of purpose and connection that brought you to this work in the first place?

Join us as we welcome researcher and author of The Power of Mattering, Zach Mercurio, Ph.D., for a FREE 90-minute community workshop exploring the science and practice of helping people feel noticed, affirmed, and needed.

Discover practical ways to help your clients (patients, students, participants) awaken to their unique significance, develop a deep sense of purpose and well-being, and create a ripple effect on the people around them. And you? We need you! Learn how to use these same principles to strengthen yourself, your team, and your organization's culture so you can carry on this important work for many years to come.

If you work in education, healthcare, childcare, social services, a nonprofit, or simply spend your days helping people thrive, this workshop is for you.
