The Secret to Finding Purpose in Your Work (Through VALUES)

Do you feel your work brings you purpose?In all my work with individuals, I've seen three core needs. The first two dominate our early career.To belong and feel part of a tribe.To gain status and value within that tribe.We seek out the field we want to be in. And how we can fulfil our ambitions in that field. But often many then feel a sense that something is missing.A sense of purpose.This relates to the third need. The desire to want to be part of something meaningful.
