“Choose a job that you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.” ~Confucius
Wow! How would that feel? To love being at work as much as you love being at home, or on holidays or wherever you are. Everyday is a joy where you wake up and greet the world with energy and happiness no matter whether you are going into work or not that day. I think that is how we all should live everyday and why not. Who said work had to be boring, or stressful, or unrealistically demanding?
According to a Harris Interactive study only 20% of employees in the United States felt passionate about their jobs. That means a whopping 80% are not so happy about the work they do every week. That means they spend a huge amount of their life on work that means nothing to them. How incredibly sad is that?
And what does that mean for your company? Engaged employees bring in new ideas, are excited about their work, complain less, and are more apt to look for and find solutions to problems. If 80% of your staff are not bought in, it means you are getting very little of the above and may even be getting worse as actively disengaged employees begin complaining and undermining what their engaged coworkers accomplish. Let’s stop that now.
Thank you so much Katharin, for introducing the Passion Test to me. Your enthusiasm and your passionate attitude has inspired me to pursue my dream of owning my own company. The Passion Test has provided me with the tools that help me be clear on what I need to do and how to keep the passion going. I’m proud to say that my new company, Eunomia Home Solutions, is slowly but surely becoming a reality. This could not have happened at a better time in my life.
One of my favorite quotes I’ve heard since being introduced to Living a Passionate Life is: “I am the master of my destiny and the captain of my soul.” Nelson Mandela
Thanks so much,~Maria Bettencourt, Toronto, Ontario Canada

I will present workshops to your employees on supervision and getting the most out of your staff teams. I will help your supervisors to find the greatness in your staff to create amazing teams.
