Ep 14 | Do What You Love, Love What You Do

We produce good work when we are happy doing it, but we produce our best work when we love doing it. However, we can’t always just drop everything and do what we love, and sometimes we must do things that we don’t even like. So how do we fall in love with everything to make our work the best it can be? In this episode, Ping shares her tried and tested practices for helping you to love what you do, create harmony in work life and consistently produce work that you are proud of.
