OTO Episode 68: Meaningful Work
Manage episode 299760225 series 2681084
When is the last time you've sat down and thought about what actually is meaningful to you?
Have you ID'd those niche's, specialties and hobbies that fill YOUR cup and provide you energy every day?
The deeper that I dig into Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and the motivations it can create, the more I begin to understand the importance of meaningful work in the workplace. This work is unique to us as individuals, and allows us to express our own interests and desires. This type of work gives us an intrinsic motivator; IE something no single individual can take away from us. In addition, research has shown that if we are able to chase after this "meaningful work" concept on a daily basis we are more likely to experience a greater volume of positive work days and therefore overall improved well-being at work overall. Today's episode is a collection of my ruminations about meaningful work's impact on my career to this point and my increasing belief that it may be one of the most critical factors we as practice owners can utilize to help the overall well-being of our peers.
