Who it's for

The right fit

Designed for For leaders and managers, teachers and lecturers, coaches and mentors, parents and carers, and anyone who leads a team, a class, a household or a community group: in Mercurio's words, a leader is anyone who influences anyone. It follows You Matter More Than You Think.

Whether people feel they matter is shaped less by programmes and perks than by small, repeated moments with the people who lead, teach and care for them. The second course of MatteringWell4Life, a companion to Zach Mercurio's The Power of Mattering, Isaac and Ora Prilleltensky's How People Matter, John R. Miles's The Mattering Effect and Nicholas Epley's A Little More Social, it turns Mercurio's three practices, noticing, affirming and needing, into skills: the Mattering Self-Assessment for Leaders, energy check-ins and listening for total meaning, the four unique gifts and meaningful gratitude, laddering and "If it wasn't for you", easy opportunities for kind words, a SER culture and psychological safety, and the mattering audit, a mattering blueprint and a Mattering Circle.
