Catching North Stars - Podcast

Catching North Stars

I created this podcast with the vision of engaging in meaningful conversation with individuals who have identified their core values and have created successful business and/or careers that are rooted firmly in those values. As a consultant and executive and leadership coach and a social psychologist, my mission is to help organizations and people align their values with both their careers and their lives. As such, Catching North Stars is a way for me to identify folks who are creating meaningful work and to share their journeys and successes with others.  My goals for the podcast are: 1) to learn and share with others how deep purpose can be transformed into meaningful work; 2) to shine a light on the work of inspirational individuals; 3) to use an Organizational Psychology lens to focus on areas addressing work and workplace issues; and 4) to engage in questions about the meaning of the work and its potential impact on society.  I hope the journeys of my guests will inspire you as much as they inspire me! 

With great respect, Alexis Halkovic, PhD
