About this episode

Pete Schramm discusses practical tools for meaningful career growth and employee engagement.

Feeling stuck at work? It’s not always about effort or lack thereof. It's often about clarity, purpose, and the right people in your corner. Pete Schramm, career development expert and the founder of employee connection and retention platform, Lattitude, argues that better employee engagement comes from something far more human than what a new app or dashboard could offer. Schramm walks through three practical tools: “Ikigai” to rediscover what makes your work meaningful, career maps to reveal options beyond your current role, and a personal board of advisors to take the pressure off finding one perfect mentor. It's a refreshing take on growth that puts people first.
