Ep. 113 Bringing Passion and Purpose to Work

Hey everyone! I am super excited to announce the release of our latest podcast episode featuring myself interviewed by incredible Service Design Show podcast with Marc Fonteijn.

In this episode, Heather – our host will be our guest. She shares some valuable insights on how to make work more than just a grind and hustle for money. She dives into the importance of bringing our passions into our work, finding enjoyment, and making a positive impact on our communities, homes, businesses, and customers.

Here are three key takeaways from this thought-provoking conversation:

Thriving at Work: Heather’s goal is to support individuals in thriving, not just surviving, in their work environments. She emphasizes the importance of finding ways to make work fulfilling and enjoyable. So, if you’re feeling stuck in a rut or uninspired at work, Heather’s tips will definitely help you reignite your passion and motivation!

Getting Buy-In for Your Ideas: Heather also delves into the challenge of getting buy-in for your ideas, especially for technical professionals. She explores the common mistake of diving straight into the details without considering the purpose and desired outcome of the conversation. Heather provides valuable strategies to effectively communicate your ideas and gain support while maintaining your mental well-being.

The Power of Purpose: One of the most powerful insights from this episode is the reminder to always reflect on the purpose of your conversations and actions. Taking a step back and understanding what you want others to feel, experience, and understand can greatly enhance your communication and influence. Heather shares practical tips on how to align your purpose with your message to maximize impact.

If you’re looking for inspiration to make your work more meaningful, gain support for your ideas, and enhance your communication skills, this episode is a must-listen!
