People who are passionate about their work get noticed.
This past weekend, I was reminded that people who love their work can make a significant on everyone around them. An array of talented people provided services at my daughter's wedding last Saturday. It was an amazing event that was executed with an amazing attention to detail and consistent graciousness. Guests continue to contact me with gratitude and reflections on how it all came together seamlessly.
Anyone who has planned a major gathering and ended up pleased with the outcome knows that extensive planning and teamwork make it all happen. When you add professionals who feel connected to and proud of their work, the event can be extraordinary.
From the efficient and congenial event staff at The Woodlands Club and the extraordinarily talented Boston-based dance band, The Allnighters, to the creative and innovative team at FloraFauna Designs (florafaunadesigns@yahoo.com), who set an elegant, yet casual ambiance, the wedding ceremony and reception were orchestrated by people who exuded confidence in and love for their work.
Considering the fact that most of my career counseling clients seek work that they can love and feel satisfied about, it was heartening to see so many individuals who seemed to have achieved this goal in their work lives.
For those of you who also desire work that connects you with your passion, be hopeful in your search. Recognize what engages you in life and do more of it. Be wholehearted in what you do and it can have a ripple effect to your work. Before you know it, you may experience work in a new way.
