Are you feeling exhausted, frustrated, or discouraged about your career? Or maybe things are OK, but somehow feeling just OK isn\u2019t enough to motivate you to do your best work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to feel enthusiastic and energized about your current job and your long-term career. Research shows that when you feel happy and energized about your work you are more likely to be productive, creative, and successful<\/strong>. And beyond success on the job, a satisfying work-life<\/a> has a huge impact on your well-being\u2014improving your attitude, your energy level, and even your health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people\u2014even those who love their remote jobs\u2014find it\u2019s not easy to stay fully engaged when they are by themselves. Maybe they feel isolated, or bored, or they miss the energy that comes from hanging out with the rest of the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re not feeling motivated about today\u2019s tasks or your long-term career path<\/a>, there are countless little things you can do to generate more enthusiasm. But where to begin, or how to keep going?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether I\u2019m working with clients or trying to generate more oomph in my own work life, I often refer to an easy little tool I call \u201cThe Engagement Triangle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I wrote in my new book, Find Your Happy at Work<\/em><\/strong>, you\u2019re more likely to engage and feel happier when you\u2019re aware of three things: your sense of purpose, the people associated with your work, and the best ways to approach your tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three points of the Triangle\u2014purpose, people, and performance\u2014are keys to your happiness and success on the job. My executive coaching clients often like to \u201cdo the Triangle\u201d by asking themselves questions related to each of these three keys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
