So do we.

That’s why we founded The Beautiful Work Project… to help you create a path to live, thrive, and flourish for an entire career.

Work should live in the sweet spot where values, competencies, and goals align.  When this happens you’ll be able to add value to your organization and community while taking care of yourself. Imagine if your work created enough space for you to do things you love in ways that are healthy, both personally and professionally.  We want to help you find your path to beautiful work.

Let’s be honest.  Professional life doesn’t look like it used to.  People don’t stay in the same job for their entire career.  Companies don’t provide the stability they used to. People are hired and promoted based on networking and on what they did yesterday, not whether they have the capacity for tomorrow. The rest of life also doesn’t look like it used to. Demands and expectations are real.

We know, it’s complicated. Getting there from here will be challenging.

That’s why we’re sharing our 15 years of experience as social scientists. We’re here to help you set and achieve your goals, make sound decisions, and navigate the politics of work and life so you can get from where you are now to where you want to be. We also provide a safe space to ask questions and get answers that can help you along the way.

Wondering what to do now? Start reading our blog, which includes articles on how to bust the myth of work-life balance and how to work on finding purpose in professional life. Stay tuned for more resources that will dare you to make work beautiful.

Enjoy the beauty that comes from understanding how work works, and knowing how to work so that you enjoy more wellness, more financial security, more purpose, more effective communication, and more time to reach your goals.

The Beautiful Work Project was founded by award-winning authors and professors Dr. Kimberlie Stephens and Dr. Marcia Alesan Dawkins.
