Take 20 minutes to ask yourself seriously whether you’re happy at work today and answer in your own way.
We often wait for happiness to come from somewhere else: a better manager, a different organization, more stimulating projects. What if much of it depended on how you approach your work? This module explores with you what feeds it—meaning, relationships, autonomy, recognition, and work-life balance—and the three acts of courage to choose it: expressing your needs, setting your limits, and, sometimes, leaving.
