It’s not unusual to be asked how work is going in casual conversation.
But our response to this question can be quite revealing.
Even when the conversation is light, it makes us address how we really feel about work.
Are you responding with enthusiasm and actively engaging on this topic?
Or do you keep brushing off the question with a generic response like “it’s ok” or “it was just another day”?
So let’s take a moment and play this out.
Picture that you and I are catching up over coffee.
How would you respond if I casually ask how work is going?
