Displaying Drive and Motivation at Work

One of the best ways to advance and display personal value at work is to be engaged and passionate. Even if the caliber of your work is simply ringing people up in a department store, showing an interest in providing excellent customer service and being engaged in making the customers experience a good one can be beneficial to you.

Not only will you be noticed and rewarded, the whole dynamic of the workplace around you will change and become one that you enjoy working in. People often move slowly at work or only contribute as much as they feel they are being compensated for. This can be a drain on moral for everyone. One of the most fun jobs I had was working as a kennel attendant for the Nevada Humane Society. Even though the job could be slightly disgusting or saddening at times, the passion of the people that I worked with and their commitment to going beyond what was required of them was contagious. Even though the taskes were simple I found great value in working with people that did more that what was expected of them and saw that how going above and beyond in my own efforts produced great results. Seeing how I was improving in my contributions was empowering and was a great way to build my own personal value so that I became an asset that the company did not want to lose.

With any job, it is important to show passion and determination to perform you duties to the best of your abilities and then do even more.
