92,000. That is the number of hours the average person spends at work during a lifetime. And our constant connectivity to our work means that number is growing. That is an enormous slice of life to spend in offices and job sites, away from friends and family. That is an enormous number of hours to sell and never get back. But what if those 92,000 hours were full of meaning, passion and purpose? What if we stop talking about work/life balance and start thinking about all of it as…life? How do we construct a working world that values and accommodates our humanity? How do we construct a life that is not separate from, but fueled by, the purpose we find in our work? In this podcast, we will explore those questions, and more. We will talk about life lessons and what happens when we bring our whole selves to our work, school, or community. Will we grow as individuals? As organizations? Together, we hope to explore our interest in cultivating meaning and purpose, and making sure those 92,000 hours are spent well, rather than simply spent.

Today, Annalisa speaks with Liz Tinkham about transitions.
Liz speaks about the most important transitions in her lifetime and how people aren't truly afraid of change, they are afraid of uncertainty. She discusses the importance of finding happiness and setting boundaries in work and how to find meaning and purpose in your "third act" - retirement.
Liz Tinkham spent over 30 years as a leader at Accenture, working with high tech media and telecommunications companies. Upon her retirement, Liz has become an adjunct professor at the Foster School of Business at the University of Washington, where she teaches a class on consulting. She serves on several boards, and through the Athena Alliance she hosts her own podcast, Third Act, in which she explores the next phase in life for those who have retired, left or changed careers.
