September Is A Perfect Month To Talk About Work

My dear friend Rosa Say is writing a month-long theme on Ho’ohana and worthwhile work that is well worth tracking and reading. Today, she answers the question: Why bother with Ho‘ohana, and “Worthwhile Work” at all?

The basic definition of Ho‘ohana is this: “Ho‘ohana is the value of worthwhile work. Work can, and should be a time when you are working to bring meaning, fulfillment and fun to the life you lead.”

So, what you doing to bring meaning to what you do?

Mahalo Chris, and absolutely, everyone here in your WorkPlay community is warmly welcomed to join us, for the more dialog on this subject the better.

Ho‘ohana is one of our easier Hawaiian words to say, and one thing it does is reinvent the workplace conversation with some fresh new dialog, giving us a language of intention to use. “Intention with our attention” is becoming a mantra for us in the Ho‘ohana Community!
