CLARITY KICKSTART: June 30, 2014
I don’t think of work as work and play as play. It’s all living.
Richard Branson
Coaching Tip for the Week:
Does your work bring you joy?
Perhaps the more important question is, do you bring joy to your work?
One of my all-time favorite professional development sentiments comes from the Lebanese poet Kahlil Gibran, who wrote “Work is love made visible.” I recently experienced this with a store clerk who was so kind, gracious, and above-and-beyond that I found myself walking out of the store better and more inspired than when I entered.
When employees truly care about what they do and whom they serve – when they work with love – the ripple effect extends far beyond what we can ever imagine. This doesn’t come with the “dream job;” it comes by bringing your best self to your work every day.
This week, whether you are in your ideal career or not, decide to bring joy and love to your work. Decide to inspire those you serve. Decide that your work matters.
When you bring the best of your whole self to your work, your family, and all of your roles, you realize – as Branson stated above – it’s all living.
