Anybody who’s had to work for a living knows that we have a “work self” that is noticeably different from who we are outside of work.
Maybe we’re more guarded, or more serious; maybe there are important parts of our lives we don’t talk about.
At Rethinking Complexity, Dennis Rebelo has an interesting post asking about the stories we tell ourselves about who we are at the office. It’s a great piece, work a read. It also raises the question: how do we integrate our work selves with who we are the rest of the time? Do we like it’s a seperate person? Or a costuem? Or a side of ourselves?
How do we navigate our professional obligations while maintaining personal integrity?
