If It Is Not Fun Then Why Keep Doing It?

June 29, 2022 by Babette Ten Haken Leave a Comment

why keep doing itThose are the words of one of my greatest mentors. I think his words are even more relevant today than they were before.

During our careers we get caught up in taking the next steps up the rungs of someone else’s idea of what a corporate ladder looks like. Or, we become chameleons: acting and dressing and living according to others’ expectations (or even demands).

Yet at the beginning and end of each day we feel compromised or short changed. Until we realize the person we shortchange is ourselves.

If your professional purpose really is a matter of living up to someone else’s agenda, or purpose, then is your ennui, malaise, boredom, or even heartbreak worth it?

If it is not fun for you – today, tomorrow, anymore – then why keep doing it? What type of personal and professional outcome do you truly expect if your actions do not completely fulfill yourself?

I catalyze cross-functional, collaborative, profitable, and sustainable solutions across value silos. | Professional Innovation | Cross Functional Leadership | Complex Problem Solving | Speaker, Consultant, Coach |
  • Need to stop spinning your wheels professionally? Searching for a speaker focused on doing the smallest things with the biggest impact to get you towards what is new and next? Then engage me to present a One Millimeter Mindset ™ program! Delivered virtually or in-person.

Who am I and what do I do? I am a refreshingly extroverted STEM professional and skeptical thinker. My focus? Building trust through your purpose-driven, professional innovation. My keynotes, breakouts, workshops and coaching programs catalyze people, teams and organizations to ask the right questions, the right way, so they define and solve the right problems to better serve each other and their clients. I translate cross-functional conversations between left-brain and right-brain thinkers: the people you hire because they solve problems differently. Think of the strategic business and human capital value of moving beyond avoidance or group-think, together. My playbook of cross-functional collaboration, Do YOU Mean Business? is available on Amazon.com. Contact me here.
