Practical Strategies for Doing Work that Truly Matters / Frances Yllana / Ep #195
What's the most important tool in your service design toolbox?
No, it's not a fancy piece of software or a groundbreaking methodology.
The most important tool is you.
A bit cheesy? Perhaps. True? Absolutely!
Let me explain.
You're the enabler for all actions leading to positive change. It's easy to overlook the importance of keeping this tool—yourself—in top shape. And you can only deliver your best work when you're healthy and happy.
If you're drained by unfulfilling work or feel your talent is going to waste, all the other tools in your kit won't matter. So, how do we get to a place where we do work that gives us joy and motivates us to get up in the morning?
That's the theme of the conversation with our guest, Frances Yllana.
Frances shares practical ways to align our work with our purpose. And we discuss the importance of prioritizing conscious career development, even in busy times.
As you'll hear, the great thing is we can apply many tools and methods from our own toolbox to achieve this.
This episode is all about making sure you do the work you want to do, not just the work you know how to do. Yes, the stakes are high!
The conversation with Frances inspired me to spend even more time understanding myself—when do I operate best and deliver my most valuable work? There's a lot of power in knowing yourself, so hopefully, it will get you in this mood as well.
Keep making a positive impact.
