Unhappy in your job? Watch this.

It's no secret that we have seen a rise in attrition over the past few years. While I am a huge advocate of people finding work that brings a sense of purpose and joy to their lives, I think we have overcorrected into a norm of jumping ship too quickly.

In this week's video, I share my thoughts on one reason this is happening and offer a new approach to try.

  Well, when this video goes live, I will be on a dude ranch horseback riding for an entire week. Do I know much about horses? No, I don't. But I am very excited. I'm sure there will be some Two-Minute Tips that come from this experience, and I will be there with my entire family.

  We are going to celebrate my parents' 50th wedding anniversary, which is a huge accomplishment, totally committed for 50 years and many more to come. And when I think about their relationship, and I think about any relationship where there's a high degree of commitment, what comes to mind is the word "serve."

  These two individuals are more focused on how they can serve the other rather than how they're being served. And the same thing applies to us in the workplace.

  We all know that there has been a huge spike in attrition over the last several years. Employees just ready to jump ship because they're not quite fully satisfied where they are, and they want to go find something new. And while I am a fan of finding work that really does give us a sense of purpose and, and a sense of joy, I do think there right now is a trend to jump ship too quickly. And it's because, largely because we are more focused on being served than how we can serve.

  And so if you are one who is in a situation where you are just feeling a lack of enjoyment in your work, a lack of fulfillment, and you're constantly thinking about where you can go next, I want to challenge you to think about how often are you pondering how you can be served versus how you can serve.

  See, the coolest thing happens when we shift and we focus on: how can I serve? How can I serve my boss? How can I serve my team? How can I serve my customers internal or external? All of a sudden we go from feeling dissatisfied in our work to suddenly having more control over our work and to finding more fulfillment in how we can serve others.

  And so again, if you are in that position of feeling a sense of dissatisfaction, ready to jump ship, I want to encourage you to flip the mindset. Instead of thinking about, ah, I'm not being served well here. Think about how you can serve even better.
