🌟 Business Design School: Crafting Your Professional Identity

Are you "The Design Museum Guy" or "The Fruit Juice Lady" of your field? 🤔 In the ever-evolving world of careers, defining your professional identity is like choosing the perfect outfit for your work-life journey. It's not just about the job title but the essence of who you are in the professional realm. 🌐

Samuela John's story, from a personal organizer to a LinkedIn love seeker, highlights the fluidity of professional identities. Similarly, Elizabeth Thornton's transformation from a corporate marketing whiz to "The Fruit Juice Lady" and then to an author and professor showcases the power of self-reflection and adaptability in career paths. 🍹➡️📚

Here's the scoop on designing your professional identity:

1. Reflect Deeply: Dive into your values, passions, and strengths. Map them to your skills and career aspirations. It's like creating a mind map of your professional DNA. 🧬

2. Seek Feedback: Chat with your circle – friends, family, mentors. Their insights can be the polish your professional identity needs. 💬

3. Embrace Change: Be like water – fluid and adaptable. Your professional identity might evolve, and that's perfectly okay. 🌊

Remember, your professional identity is your career's north star, guiding your decisions and shaping how the world sees you. So, what's your professional tagline? 🌟🔍

🚀 Boost Your Work Motivation: The Power of 'Mattering'

Ready to skyrocket your work motivation? Adam Grant and psychiatrist Gabriella Rosen Kellerman have a game-changer for you: focus on 'mattering.' In Kellerman's book "Tomorrowmind," co-authored with psychologist Martin Seligman, 'mattering' is highlighted as a key skill for thriving in today's volatile workplace. It's all about feeling that your work has purpose and impact, a sentiment directly linked to job satisfaction and career advancement.

🔍 But here's the catch: in our fast-paced work environment, seeing the real-time impact of our efforts is rare, often leading to stress and burnout. Kellerman emphasizes the need for managers to effectively narrate the story of mattering to their teams.

📈 Grant's experiments with the University of Michigan's fundraising department revealed a simple yet powerful strategy: sharing stories of those impacted by the work. A 5-minute interaction with a scholarship student significantly boosted the team's performance. It's not just about managers preaching the importance of work; it's about bringing real stories and faces into the organization.

🌊 Kellerman suggests using a "mattering map" to visually demonstrate the ripple effect of an employee's work within and beyond the organization. This tool helps employees see the broader impact of their efforts, boosting their sense of value and motivation.

👩‍💼 Don't just wait for your managers to act. Kellerman advises taking the initiative to track your achievements and feedback. Start a culture of appreciation by exchanging notes of matter with your peers. It's about recognizing each other's contributions and reinforcing the significance of everyone's work.

Understanding and feeling that your work matters can be a powerful motivator. It's about connecting the dots between your daily tasks and the larger picture, realizing that every effort contributes to a greater cause. 🌟
