Does your work contribute to your happiness or take away from it? We spend more of our lifetime working than any other activity, so it's fair to ask yourself this question. I offer a simple, practical framework for your reflection. To be really happy with your work, you must be able to connect your work to one or more parts of your #spiritualdimension. Your spiritual dimension is deep within you, and it influences everything you do. That’s why most of our work with leaders is about helping them gain self-awareness, not just spiritually, but also physically, intellectually, and emotionally. I offer a simplified framework for understanding your own spiritual dimension. Consider your day-to-day work against these parts of your spiritual dimension: • Identity (Who I am): How does who I know myself to be align with my identity at work? Am I able to be ME? • Purpose (Why I am here): Do I see opportunities in my work to manifest a purpose that is meaningful to me? • Beliefs (What I believe): Does my work setting make room for what I believe is right and true? How does what I believe align with the work I do each day? • Values (What I want): How do the results of my efforts take me closer to getting what I really want in life? Work will always be ‘work’. But, how can you begin to build a rewarding work life? I'm curious to hear additional thoughts on this. (By the way, organizations have spiritual dimensions too. Use these questions to reflect on your company culture as well.) McKinnon Leadership Group #leadership #TheMcKinnonWay #corebeliefs #values
