Work should be Wow; yet for the majority of people, it isn't.
A study by Gartner shows that 87% of all employees are not satisfied with their work...
People are bored, frustrated, burned out and often deeply unhappy.
The world should be Wow, yet for the majority of people it isn’t. Hunger, disease, pollution, repression are but a few of the problems millions of people experience everyday. And now even the world itself is under serious threat.
Companies face ever-growing problems in recruiting and binding the best people. Classic incentives (salary, corner offices, company cars) are no longer enough when the work itself is devoid of purpose and meaning.
The Wow Project is meant to help with a simple but powerful approach: start a Wow Project to make the world a little better and find passion, purpose and meaning doing work you love.

There is a gap in our lives that is preventing us from living happy, meaningful, and fulfilling lives.
Me, age 5
At 5, we are all heroes-in-the-making. We have big dreams for our future: joining the Thunderbirds, becoming a famous inventor, turning into Superman... (those were my dreams at 5)
Age 40, without the cape
As adults, we spend our days in endless meetings and our nights falling asleep in front of the TV. No Thunderbirds, No Famous inventor, No Superman cape…
Life's end
At the end of our lives, we regret the things we haven't done. The steps we didn't take, the plans we didn't realize, because we were too afraid to try. Because we prioritized safety over our passion. Because we buried our dreams.
As adults we start following the herd
There is a gap between our ambitions as a child and the reality we accept as adults. When we grow up, we start living according somebody else's definition of life. We follow the herd. And we settle... That's why most of us feel unfulfilled and unhappy.
