Dear Dr. Mimi,
I have been working in my current role at my organization for almost five years. While at first, the role was exciting and satisfying, recently I have found it to be more routine and unfulfilling. I don’t hate what I do, but I don’t love it either. What suggestions do you have in terms of how I can improve my attitude in my current role?
—Unfulfilled
Dear Unfulfilled,
The simplest way to improve your outlook is to shift your perspective. It is important to look at the bigger picture and focus on the impact your role has as it relates to your customers, your community, and your organization. Do not diminish yourself and your role; search for the value you create!
