This episode of A Change in Story explores passion decline, or what happens when your passion for work starts to fade, and what you can do to get it back.
To help dive deeper into this topic, international speaker and consultant Dr. David Shar joins to share some of his research-backed insights and real-world examples of how people can rediscover meaning, excitement and fulfillment in their careers.
For example, David breaks down the difference between harmonious and obsessive passion—and why aiming for harmonious passion leads to healthier, more sustainable motivation. Plus, he explains how burnout can be contagious and some of the key elements that create a workplace where people feel supported and can enjoy a healthy work-life balance.
In addition to speaking and consulting, David is also a professor at the University of Maryland, where he teaches graduate courses in Talent Development and Organizational Change. His research focuses on why people fall out of love with their work and how they can rekindle the spark before it’s too late.
