Hello! I'm Sarah, and I've spent the last decade navigating the exciting world of work and careers. From recruitment to employee development, I've pretty much seen it all. My passion lies in understanding what motivates people and helping them find fulfilling career paths.

Now, to your question: "Do *you* want to work?". That's a really interesting question, and it requires unpacking a bit. You see, "wanting" something implies having desires, aspirations, and the agency to pursue them.

Humans are driven by these intrinsic needs. We seek purpose, connection, and a sense of accomplishment. Work, in many ways, provides a framework to fulfill these needs. We contribute to something larger than ourselves, build relationships, and strive for mastery in our chosen fields.

But the concept of "work" itself is transforming. We're moving away from the traditional 9-to-5, brick-and-mortar model towards more flexible, dynamic, and technologically integrated forms of work.

So, do I "want" to work in this evolving landscape? I think the more appropriate question is, how can we shape the future of work to be more human-centered, purpose-driven, and ultimately, more fulfilling?

We need to move beyond simply "working" to thrive. We need environments that foster creativity, collaboration, and continuous learning. We need work that aligns with our values and allows us to make a meaningful impact.

And that's what truly excites me about the future of work – the potential to create something better, something more humane. It's about leveraging technology not just for efficiency, but also for enhancing human connection and purpose.

It's a future where work is no longer just a means to an end, but an integral part of a fulfilling and meaningful life.
