About
For years, I've watched organizations use personality assessments to understand who people are—but still struggle to understand how those people actually think, relate, respond, and create value at work. That's where I bring a different perspective. With a background in industrial-organizational psychology and more than a decade of experience across recruiting, HR, leadership, and team development, I translate complex ideas about people and performance into frameworks audiences can actually understand and use. I helped develop the Work Ethos frameworks, including the Work Intelligence Index® and Work Style DNA™, to give leaders a deeper understanding of the capacities people bring to work—how they naturally create value, where they thrive, and where teams can unintentionally limit their potential. My goal isn't to give audiences another assessment, another leadership theory, or another list of things they should do differently. It's to help them see people—and themselves—with greater clarity. Because when people understand how they work, how they contribute, and what they need to do their best work, better teams and better outcomes become possible.

Most of us have been taught to find our purpose—to search for the right answer to the question, “What am I meant to do?” But what if purpose isn't something we need to find? What if it's something we need to learn to notice? In Pay Attention, Marty Munger challenges the idea that purpose is something we discover through one defining moment or perfect career path. Instead, she invites audiences to look at the moments already happening in their everyday lives—the moments that energize them, frustrate them, deeply engage them, or leave them feeling like their work mattered. Because purpose rarely arrives as a billboard. It leaves breadcrumbs. Through a simple process of paying attention to passion, frustration, energy, and patterns, audiences learn to recognize the clues that reveal what matters to them and how they naturally contribute. They explore their energizers and drainers, discover how they create value, and begin moving beyond vague statements like “I want to help people” toward a clearer understanding of the difference they uniquely make. The keynote culminates in one powerful question: “When I'm at my best, what becomes possible for someone else because I was there?” From there, participants create their own Purpose Anchor—a personal statement that transforms purpose from an abstract idea into something they can recognize and practice in their everyday work and life. Audiences will learn to: Recognize purpose clues by paying attention to moments of passion, frustration, energy, engagement, and meaning. Identify patterns within their energizers and drainers to better understand what brings them to life at work. Understand how they naturally contribute through the ways they think, relate, and respond. Move beyond vague purpose statements toward a specific and meaningful contribution. Create a personal Purpose Anchor that helps them recognize and practice purpose in everyday moments. The big idea: We don't need to find our purpose. We need to pay attention to it.
Key Takeaways
- We don't need to find our purpose. We need to pay attention to it.
- Recognize Purpose Cues.
- Understand your Energizers vs Drainers
