"I still don't know what I'm passionate about…"
In the first installment of What’s Your Work? Darius is joined by Bri, Florence and Harry from the People and Their Brilliance team. They talk about their working journeys thus far, feeling unsure of what they’re passionate about and how that relates to jobs, and then more deeply about what it means to have values and how to get in touch with them for yourself. Then from that place, how do you build a life that’s full of those things that are important to you and light you up? If you’re at the beginning of your career or a new chapter, or you’re looking for an insight into the minds of young professionals today, this is the podcast for you.
