Workshop with boss I love (6)
I believe the answer is:
esprit
'love' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for esprit that I've seen before include "Liveliness of mind or spirit" , "French morale as in de corps?" , "Sparkling quality" , "Liveliness of wit" , "Liveliness - priest (anag)" .)
