She’s the author of The Secrets of Happiness at Work and Bring Work to Life. She is a principal with Steelcase’s applied research and consulting group and a contributor for Forbes and Fast Company.  Listen to host Natalie Benamou and Dr. Tracy Brower as they discuss How to Recommit to Work-Life Joy.

Assessing Your Job for the Right Proportions:

• The key is how much alignment you have. Those choices about the work that we do, the organization and the people that we work with all have to do with aligning as much as possible, what we love to do and what we have to do.
  
  

Suggestions for Individuals Struggling to Find Joy with Work:

• Set boundaries
• Delegate responsibilities
• Remind yourself that what you bring is valuable

How to show up and be courageous at what you’re doing

• Show up and do your best.
• Be confident with humility.
• Choose your battles, compromise, and be open to other points of view.

“When we’re so fundamentally disrupted, it’s just an opportunity to take stock and reflect.  There’s been this amazing reset of priorities, according to a new study, where we’re all recommitting to each other, to community, to family, rethinking our priorities, rethinking our careers. And that is about the ingredients for happiness. Really thinking about how we create joy, even with the ebbs and flows that are natural in our lives”
