When we’re squarely in our Zone of Genius, work doesn’t feel like work. It feels like play, flow, ease; we’re plugged directly into Source. Unfortunately, today’s world of work isn’t about play. It’s all process and productivity, “we’re doing serious, important work here, there’s no room for fun.” If it feels too easy, we must not be doing anything worthwhile.
That’s how we end up slipping out of the zone of genius and into the zone of competence. The work starts to feel like an effort. But it’s not only a possibility for play to make its way into process, it’s actually where the most creative, collaborative and powerful work takes place.
How can we identify when we’re slipping out of our zone of genius? Why does play need to be invited to work?
In this episode, we sit down with business leader and proponent of play at work, Tina Scala to talk about how we can make the zone of genius less elusive.
There’s a separation between my avocation and my vocation. How can these intertwine? -Tina Scala
