Today Dr. Christie reflects on yesterday’s interview with Dan Doerksen. She explores the idea that the work we do is often initially productive and enjoyable but over time, it is reduced to merely a ‘job’, losing its potential to be fulfilling and fun. She encourages you to find people who shine their light on others and rethink your approach to work and seek ways to make it enjoyable and satisfying again.
