The Buried Life and the Power of Pursuing Dreams

Nemtin and his friends created The Buried Life as college students, setting out to complete a list of 100 things they wanted to do before they died.

Nemtin has since spoken to hundreds of organizations and been featured on The Today Show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, and CNN.

Leading With Purpose

Driving teams to thrive today requires new strategies for connecting and getting results. Retention and engagement are major issues as old leadership models don’t deliver like they once did. Effective leaders must go deeper and show empathy and understanding to help teams reach their true potential. When team members truly feel that their leadership and organization cares about their personal and their professional development, that’s where the magic happens.

One of the best ways to help your team gain purpose is to connect with them around their personal and professional goals. As the lines between personal and professional lives blur, it’s time for leaders to develop the whole person.
