Meaningful Work Researcher & Consultant at Rise Consulting | Austria

Ross Reekie is professionally and personally exploring how we can find meaning and happiness in our work. He is convinced that when our work feels awesome it can not only benefit us, but it also inspires others and impacts our communities. When our work is meaningful, when we’re challenged around a purpose, and when we’re inspired to bring out our best ideas Ross believes that this is when we contribute most to our cities, make change happen, and inspire others to do the same. Some of Ross' wisdom was learned through his research, but he learned more through lived experience with burnout and his continuing battle against his own unhealthy work habits. Ross is challenging himself to overcome these habits in his latest research project by taking on fun jobs. While finding some peace with his idiosyncrasies, he remains a world champion in procrastination. Don't be surprised if his session starts 5 minutes late or if he enters the stage dressed in an opera costume.
