Resources
- Lifework refers to all activities throughout your lifetime, which enhance your own life and the lives of others. The term lifework is used rather than career, because it is broader and more holistic. Jobs or careers, or business ventures can end, but the need to continue to grow, develop, and express yourself continues. Lifework better represents the collective experiences we have over a lifetime that make us who we are.
- A few years ago, the University of Minnesota, College of Continuing Education, alumni website stated: Few jobs or careers can encompass all of what constitutes who we are. And, what provides meaning and satisfaction can change over time, as our life circumstances and responsibilities evolve, necessitating changes or, adjustments in our lifework activities. Lifework planning is the process, repeated several times over a lifetime, by which an individual assesses, explores, plans, and decides about his or her lifework.
- Jodi is on the Dual Innovation Journey of reinventing herself while redesigning her business. That is why she joined one of my WeMentor Entrepreneurial Leadership and Mentoring LABS. She has focused this year on doing revolutionary work while she keeps running her businesses.
