Media request FAQ

The short answers, before you ask.

What is Organizational Logotherapy?

Building on Viktor Frankl’s work: the search for life purpose is our chief concern and primary source of energy. Applied to organizations, it means creating the conditions for people to experience vitalizing meaning — elevating energy, creativity, engagement and retention.

Motivation vs. inspiration — what’s the difference?

Motivation pushes people toward an action. Inspiration pulls them toward a future they want to help create. Dr. Cortez’s work builds the second, not just incentives for the first.

What’s the business case for purpose?

Purpose-driven companies grow roughly three times faster than competitors, with stronger retention and satisfaction — and investors increasingly favor purpose-led organizations.

What topics does she cover?

Leadership, purpose, meaning at work, culture, workforce potential, hybrid work, inspiration and the reinvention of the workplace — see Ideas & Intelligence for the full range.
