Work Reimagined Quotes

“Burnout is overdoing; inner-kill is under-being. Inner-kill comes from feeling like we are not using our gifts in support of things we care about, or that we are stuck in an environment that is inconsistent with our values.”
― David Shapiro, Work Reimagined

“While job stress can lead to burnout, burnout can lead to inner-kill. Inner-kill is the death of purpose.”
― David Shapiro, Work Reimagined

“In short, there is no such thing as meaningful work; the meaning is what we bring to it, and that is what reimagining work is all about.”
― David Shapiro, Work Reimagined

“Our calling has little to do, in fact, with a particular job, and everything to do with how we approach it.”
― David Shapiro, Work Reimagined

“Calling is connection: Uncovering our calling is a deliberate choice to serve others and to make a difference in the world. Our calling is made manifest in service to others...it is paradoxical but true; we are more likely to receive the meaning and fulfillment we seek when we enable others to achieve the meaning and fulfillment they seek, as well.”
― David Shapiro, Work Reimagined
