What is Mattering?

Mattering is the belief that we’re a significant part of the world around us; that we’re not a cog in a wheel.

Psychologists and sociologists find that mattering arises from two primary experiences: feeling valued by those around us, and adding value to those around us.

Create Mattering™ is a practice from Modern People co-creator and Mattering expert Zach Mercurio, Ph.D.

Modern People are the only Certified Mattering™ practitioners in the world.

Three sessions to master three skills

Affirming others for their unique strengths, and what they personally make possible

Showing others they are not just a number: they are relied upon and indispensable

A national priority

In late 2022, the U.S. Surgeon General named “mattering at work” a top priority for improving mental health.

The announcement reaffirms what we’ve known for many years: Mattering and well-being are inseparable, especially where humans spend 35% of their waking lives.

The official call to prioritise mattering at work is the culmination of several conspiring forces reshaping what work means to and in our lives.
