Rosie sits down with Zach Mercurio, author of \u201cThe Power of Mattering\u201d and one of Inc.'s top 50 leadership experts, to explore why mattering might just be the most important leadership skill of our time. Together, they unpack how feeling seen, valued, and essential isn\u2019t just a \u201cnice-to-have,\u201d it\u2019s a basic human need that directly impacts engagement, trust, and performance. Zach gives insights on why intuition doesn\u2019t scale, how \u201csoft\u201d skills are now business-critical, and why the future of leadership depends on how we treat each other in the next interaction. From practical tools like the \u201cNoticing Notebook\u201d to powerful mindset shifts that rehumanize the workplace, this episode is packed with soul and strategy. \ud83d\udca1\ud83d\udcac &amp;nbsp; Additional Resources: Get Zach\u2019s book: \u201cThe Power of Mattering\u201d Connect with Zach on LinkedIn Learn more about Zach\u2019s work Connect with Rosie on LinkedIn Learn more about Salveo Partners  Follow PeopleForward Network on LinkedIn Learn more about PeopleForward Network &amp;nbsp; Key Takeaways:  Mattering is distinct from belonging or recognition.
