8 Questions to Ask Yourself If You’re Struggling to Make an Impact
Are you putting your work out there?
There are some people who are perfectly satisfied working for a paycheck and nothing more. If you’re in this group, great.
But then there are those who long to make an impact. They want their work to have meaning beyond the daily reports and stats and deadlines. They want to know the why behind what they do, and be able to convey it with confidence. They want their work to improve the lives of those around them and across the world.
