Mattering isn't "touchy-feely" - it's as fundamental as eating or sleeping. And in our current challenging times, people need to feel they matter more than ever.

In the latest episode of The Workplace Podcast, William Corless sits down with Zach Mercurio to dive deep into his powerful book "The Power of Mattering: How Leaders Can Create a Culture of Significance."

Zach is a researcher, leadership development facilitator, and speaker who specialises in purposeful leadership and meaningful work. He holds a PhD from Colorado State University and serves as a senior fellow at the Centre for Meaning and Purpose.

Episode Highlights:

  • What is Mattering? It's feeling significant to those around you - knowing the team wouldn't be complete without you
  • The NAND Model: Notice, Affirm, and show people they're Needed - three powerful behaviors that make people feel they matter
  • The Traffic Light Check-in: A simple red/yellow/green system that led to 50% reduction in attrition and higher engagement scores
  • The Noticing Book: A brilliant practice of writing down one thing about each team member and following up - "there's magic in being remembered"

💡 Key Insight: We add value because we feel valued - not the other way around. When people feel they matter, they develop the confidence and energy needed to perform, innovate, and contribute.
