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.

This week we are joined by Dr. Michael Bassis to talk about vision.
We discuss vision in the workplace and at home. How do we focus on long term vision when the day-to-day tasks take up so much of our time? How can leaders successfully communicate their vision to their team? Is it possible to ensure our vision remains intact even after we leave our position or organization?
Michael Bassis is the former President of Westminster College, Olivet College, and New College. He was also the Provost of Antioch College. He received his BA from Brown University in Sociology and holds a PhD in Sociology of Education from University of Chicago. In retirement, he has begun painting.
