When Your Job Isn't Your Dream Job
2d ago00:03:11Tap to summarizeWhen Your Job Isn't Your Dream Job 3 Sep 2024 --- “Dream jobs” are often idealized, but in reality, finding a job that aligns with your purpose, values, and goals is incredibly difficult. This is especially true during times of uncertainty or crisis — when our priorities inevitably shift. Even so, many of us can be hard on ourselves or get demotivated searching for the perfect role. In these moments, it’s important to remember that we first need to meet our basic needs before we can gain the energy and drive we need to reach our higher-level goals. Accepting your current circumstances and focusing on “right now” doesn’t make you a failure. The first step towards obtaining what you want in the future is taking care of yourself in the present.

See all eight questions on our playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzAU8TPKsJuYj9HwKPXjbgBPWqUFRtDIZ Big shifts need to happen in business so the world can avoid the most catastrophic effects of climate change. But it can be difficult to know what your role is in this process–and you may even wonder whether you can make a difference at all. Does what you do as an entry-level employee or a small business owner really matter? Can we get where the science tells us we need to be within capitalism?

Andrew Winston, the author of the Big Idea article “Leading a New Era of Climate Action,” https://hbr.org/cover-story/2020/01/leading-a-new-era-of-climate-action, can help.
