Cultivating Flow at Work: Finding Peak Productivity and Enjoyment Imagine tapping into a state of optimal productivity, creativity, and joy at will.

But flow isn’t random; it can be cultivated with the right strategies. Join Jonathan Fields and Shelley Adele Bliss from the Spark Endeavors Team as they explore the science behind flow, its benefits both in and outside of work, and how you can create the conditions for flow in your own life.

Tips to Help New Grads Struggling to Find a Job Feeling anxious about the job market as a new grad? It’s natural. Remember, labor demand fluctuates, and a slow job search doesn’t reflect your worth. Use this time to think about what you really want in your career and expand your network. Feel insecure about resume gaps? They’re less stigmatized now, so frame them as purposeful learning experiences in interviews. Stay motivated and view this period as a chance for growth and self-discovery.
