Being interested,doing what you’re good at,and losing yourself in it.
It’s a “great job” we’d do for free.*Assumes a “fit” and a “gap”
PERMA: Engagement + strengths = flow

Small group questions• What makes you come alive at work?• If you had 3 wishes for the organization, what would
they be?• What’s the smallest thing we could change that would
make a difference?• Do we have fun here? Do you laugh here? Do you feel
hopeful here?• If our success were 100% guaranteed, what bold steps
might we take?

For Employees
• Am I bored? Why?• If I complained less, what would I do more of?• When do I feel good here? Doing what?• What would happen if I changed my mindset?• Is it the same elsewhere? (very likely)

For Employees• Do I come to work at my best?• Am I tired? Hungry? Dehydrated?• Am I happy otherwise?
• What seems like “bad work” is sometimesunhappiness and unhealthiness overall.
