Stop Engaging Employees: A Model for Heart-Driven Leadership

The future of work is clearly no longer about clocking in at a desk. For this episode’s guest, it’s more about creating a whole new rhythm of leadership and engagement that makes work more human.

Speaker, author, coach and consultant Eryc Eyl shares his unique perspective on the evolving dynamics of the workplace and challenges with how "employee engagement” is understood today. We dive into the generational shifts shaping how we work, a reframing of “quiet quitting” as “calibrated contribution,” and why redefining success around what engagement really means is essential in a volatile and uncertain world.

Eryc offers fresh insights on creating human-centered workplaces and reveals his innovative approach to leadership coaching and consulting—which includes blending DJing with motivational speaking to spark collective energy and connection. Plus, he delves into the key concepts from his book Stop Engaging Employees: Start Making Work More Human, challenging the way we think about work, leadership, and what more authentic engagement can look like.

Join us as we discuss:

• Moving from engagement as something we “do to” employees to a more mutual relationship – one aimed at fostering emotional connections in human-centric workplaces.
• How leaders can nurture engagement by creating the right conditions, not forcing activity.
• Fresh approaches to igniting collective energy and creativity.
