3. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable. If the thought of a change in venue for applying your skills and experience makes you uncomfortable, that’s good. Often, with new and untested territory comes renewed passion. Take the leap.
For example, perhaps it’s time to take your line business acumen and apply it to Human Resources, helping that function better align itself to business goals and objectives. Maybe you can offer yourself as a mentor to more junior colleagues. Maybe the expanse of global operations has created an opportunity for you to learn and contribute in a cultural framework different from your own. Outside of work it may be time to teach at the local community college or volunteer your services and skills with a community organization that aligns with your values. Consciously choosing a new venue for applying your skills and accumulated wisdom can be a wonderful tool for re-lighting passion’s flame.
