February is Heart Month. My question: is your heart in your current job?  

Here are few prompts to consider when thinking about this question: 

• Resonating? - Is your job resonating with your professional values and passions? If not, consider why and if that can be changed. 

• Balanced? - Does your job allow you to have a good work-life balance? Or are you sacrificing one for the other? Are you able to make it better? 

• Satisfying? - Do you leave work feeling fulfilled or deflated? Is your time at work satisfying you? Professional satisfaction can come in many different forms. 

• Growth? - Is there opportunity for growth in your position, personally or professionally? Are you progressing towards your career goals?
