The Real Reason You Feel Like You Don't Matter | John R. Miles & Adam Lane Smith

He was CIO at Dell managing a billion and a half dollar budget. And he could not tell if he was valued more than the piece of furniture he was sitting in. Most people are living with that same feeling without knowing what it is. Adam Lane Smith sits down with John R. Miles, author of The Mattering Effect, to break down why the question “do I even matter?” is driving a global crisis and what it takes to build a life where your presence is felt rather than performed. What you will learn in this video: 1- Why loneliness burnout and depression are not separate problems but symptoms of the same root cause  2- Why mattering is social immunity and what happens when it disappears  3- Why insecure attachment trains people to believe they are only worth what they produce  4- The four stepping stones from internal worth to impact and why most people never get past the first  5- Why belonging and mattering are completely different and why confusing them keeps people stuck  6- What it means to build a life where your presence changes the room 👉 FREE SKILL DEMONSTRATION - Turning Back the Damage: The Live Relationship Repair Session.
