Now that probably most of us are working at home, this situation provides an opportunity to reflect on your work. How can you make a difference at work? It doesn't matter how big or how small that difference is. And don't think, "Nobody listens to me" or "Ah, my idea is not good enough."

These are, of course, some random questions. But it always makes sense to take a look at your work from a distance and ask yourself, what can I do to make a difference? How can I contribute to the process or project at work?

Just remember this: never ever think that you are too small to make a difference.
