Finding True Purpose & Meaning At Work with Dr. Alise Cortez

From living an opulent lifestyle abroad to humbling herself to rebuild her identity, Dr. Alise Cortez experienced firsthand what Dr. Viktor Frankl called the "existential vacuum." That profound shattering transformed her into an organizational psychologist, organizational logotherapist, speaker, and author dedicated to helping individuals and companies find their true "Why."

In this episode of 13 Minutes, Dr. Baruch "B" HaLevi and Dr. Alise Cortez explore how to activate meaning in the workplace, overcome executive loneliness, and defy internal survival defaults when facing life's greatest shatterings.

In this episode, we explore:
• Overcoming the Existential Vacuum: How an existential crisis in her 20s forced Dr. Alise to rebuild her identity from the ground up.
• The Meaning Crisis in Corporate America: Why over 70% of employees are disengaged and how activating purpose transforms company culture.
• Defying the Enneagram 7: How leaning into pain and suffering created the foundation for authentic leadership.
• Humanity in the Age of AI: How "Gusto Now" helps leaders double down on emotional intelligence and human purpose.
• Curing Executive Loneliness: The power of peer advisory groups in giving leaders a safe space to be vulnerable through dark times.
