Emboldening women in their faith and work

Lead Joyfully with Jane Doerman
Nov 21 | noon-1pm
9922 Windish Road | West Chester, OH
Have you ever worked in an environment where misery is the default? Where the stress of looming deadlines and the humdrum of daily tasks casts a dark shadow on the felt sense of the office? By contrast, have you ever worked alongside someone who has a cheerful heart? Someone who seems to see the good and infuse joy into everyday spaces? The hours we spend working make up a significant portion of our days, so it stands to reason that our experience of it matters.
December is a month where we traditionally emphasize joy. The anticipation of Christmas, the time spent celebrating with loved ones, and the giving and receiving of gifts all lend themselves towards experiencing joy. But what if our experience of joy has more to do with our ability to connect with the present good than manufacturing moments that obviously foster joy? If we leave all the joy to the holidays and time off, then where does that leave us at work?
This month at Polished we are focusing on leading joyfully! We believe that leading joyfully – especially in the workplace – matters. And we think that whether you’re in a managerial position or just trying to do your best at your job, you can increase enjoyment among those with whom you work by leading joyfully. Join us as we explore what it looks like to lead joyfully – not just in December, but year round!
