How to do meaningful work without quitting your job | Svenja Dietrich | TEDxHaarlem

Did you know that you spend around 80,000 hours working? The problem: if you are not engaged in your work, the most time-consuming activity next to sleeping, you are not engaged in life. The fix: doing work you find worthwhile. In her funny, honest talk, global business leader and anthropologist Svenja Dietrich shares her quest to do work that matters to her, revealing three proven, hands-on strategies for spending more time on meaningful work without quitting your job. Svenja Dietrich is a global corporate human resource (HR) leader, anthropologist, and founder of The Inner Business School, a digital education platform for career and personal development. Over the past ten years, she helped more than 12,000 professionals do work that matters to them to create a more sustainable and fairer (business) world. Svenja further researches the social and cultural mechanisms sustaining the many “bullshit jobs” in our economy during her Ph.D. and works on her first book. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
