Build your work compass

What does work mean to you? Work is not the same as “a job”. Work is something that occupies most of your attention and energy throughout your lifetime. You can also define it as “vocation”.

So what is it that you do for work and why do you do it? This week let’s a get a bit philosophical and try to define what work means to you.

HOW TO: Write a little essay reflecting on the following questions:

• What’s work for?
• What defines good or worthwhile work?
• What does money have to do with it?
• What do experience, growth and fulfillment have to do with it?

There are no right or wrong answers, and you are not writing a job description. Simply reflect on what are some of the essential qualities that define work for you.
