We recently had Michael Pratt on the Meaningful Work Matters podcast, and he left us feeling validated in our pursuit of meaningful work. To Michael, what makes work meaningful is truly up to you. Michael shares six “work orientations” or ways of thinking about what makes work worthwhile. - Do you get a lot out of your interpersonal relationships at work? - Is work mostly a way to provide for your family or passions outside the office? - Is work about becoming excellent at what you do? - Are you focused on being in service to others? - Is your ambition to climb the ladder and gain more status? - Or, do you work because you’re simply passionate about what you do? Michael notes that they’re all valid. Reflecting on how you orient to work can also be a helpful tool if you hit a career slump or find yourself less happy at work. Michael is passionate about making research accessible and understandable to all, so we know you’ll get a lot out of this conversation. Let us know how you find meaning in your work 💬 🎧 https://lnkd.in/evWaeax2
