What Does Your Work Add Up To? 🎨 Imagine waking up each day knowing that what you do matters, not just to you, but to the world. That’s what meaningful work feels like. It’s not just a job; it’s a canvas for your passion and a reflection of your values. 🌟 Here's a Thought: If you’re feeling disconnected from your work, consider what matters most to you. Can your current role be adjusted to better align with those values? Sometimes, the job itself is fine, but the significance we attach to it needs a rethink. 👍 Join the Conversation: What's one aspect of your work that you find deeply fulfilling? Or are you searching for it? Let’s brainstorm and support each other in our quest for meaningful careers. #MeaningfulWork #CareerPassion

How do you find joy and fulfillment in your career? The idea that our #careers should not only provide security and certain freedoms but also bring us genuine satisfaction is high on our values. Everyone probably has experienced the "Sunday Blues", where we dread the upcoming work week. Unfortunately, this kind of feeling underscores the impact that our professional lives can have on our overall well-being. 🧐 The question is, what motivates you, so that personal fulfillment in a career goes beyond financial security? It involves identifying and pursuing work that aligns with one's values, interests, and passions. When individuals are driven by intrinsic motivations—such as a sense of purpose, personal growth, or a genuine love for what they do—their careers are more likely to be not only successful but also personally fulfilling. Think about your #motivation. This might involve self-reflection, understanding one's #values, #purpose, and #priorities, and aligning them with career choices. It also involves being open to change and actively seeking opportunities that bring joy and fulfillment. Could it be, that -      Autonomy -> the desire to direct my own life -      Mastery     -> the desire to get better at things -      Purpose     -> the desire and intention that I can make a difference are driving factors that motivate us to go to work every day? My guess is, you will have some additional driving factors. What are your #motivators? Q Works Group Michael B. Clegg #qworksgroup #QWORKS #careerfulfillment

3 ways you can accelerate your work life: 1. Speak business outcomes: I created a dashboard to represent data from 5 different sources -> I improved decision making time leading to X% faster time to market by consolidating data from 5 sources. This will make you business aligned and appear smarter 2. Have 1-on-1s: If you're early in your career, block quarterly 1-on-1s with mentors you admire to check if you're on the right track and what new can you do. You'll be surprised at how much they're willing to share. And you'll get some industry-career gyaan that will change your perspective 3. Be willing to help: Your most important professional developments (e.g. your next big assignment) can happen outside your BAU role. And it can often start by someone asking for help. Be open and willing to help selflessly. You never know you may be the one receiving the most from it.

7 Reasons to transition careers: 1. You're being heavily underpaid 2. You don't feel valued at your company 3. You keep getting passed up for promotions 4. You no longer find purpose or a sense of fulfillment in your work 5. You hate your boss 6. You have little to no work-life balance 7. You feel stuck in a career you stumbled into If you're spending 8+ hours a day in a job, you should feel a sense of purpose in what you do! It's never too late to transition careers. Did I miss anything?

Are you feeling like your hard work and contributions are being ignored at work? Instead of waiting for your organization to upgrade your title or responsibilities, why not take matters into your own hands and seek out opportunities for career growth? There are many ways to do this, whether it's seeking out additional responsibilities within your current role, networking with colleagues and industry professionals, or even pursuing additional education or certifications. Don't wait for someone else to recognize your potential – take the initiative to create your own opportunities for career advancement. #careeradvice #careerdevelopment #careeropportunities #takeaction #professionalgrowth"

We ALL benefit from pro-active career change. Let me explain... so often we find ourselves in a work environment with someone you look at or listen too and deeply wonder "Why are you here?" they take every opportunity to complain, see work as a drain and overall have zero zest for any and every project and task. We also know the people who are in-tune with their work, they take the highs with the lows but you can see they choose to log-on every Monday with a goal of getting some stuff done and moving forward in their work. Someone who shows up with intention vs someone who seems stuck leave different impacts on the team. I know which person I'd rather work with. So yes, we all benefit when someone who doesn't want to be there chooses not too. They (fingers-crossed) find somewhere they CAN be intentional and someone with zest joins the team so you can all get back to forward motion.

Two things I've recently chosen to prioritize in my career: FLEXIBILITY 🤸♀️and TIME FREEDOM ⏰ This morning I'm working from a Starbucks so I can be closer to my final wedding dress fitting (16 days away!!!), and it feels *incredible* to be have this kind of flexibility without having to ask for permission. 🤩☕️ Does this awesome flexibility come with tradeoffs? Absolutely. But it's what makes sense for my life NOW, not forever. When the tradeoffs are no longer worth it, I'll make a change again. That's the cycle of our career process... 🔄 Wherever you're working from today, I hope that you are living into a career that works for your life!

Mid-Week Motivation, "Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle." -Steve Jobs! #magcloudsolutions
