Description
“I want a meaningful career—not just a job. But how do I get there?” When passion drives your choices and your talents shine, opportunities abound. But you can’t get there if you don’t know where or how to start. This book shows you how. Since 1987, Echoing Green has provided over thirty million dollars in seed funding to the world’s top young social entrepreneurs who figured out the where and the how. But their paths weren’t straight or always clear. How did they do it? Meet five of these change makers and see for yourself as they dig deep and find their way. Career choice is a destination, not a decision, and having the right tools to navigate the ride is essential. The stories in this book will help you listen to your heart, use your head, and unleash your hustle. Meanwhile, thought-provoking questions will prompt you to discover what moves you most—what gets you out of bed in the morning—and guide you as you take inventory of your beliefs, acquired skills, and innate gifts so you can lock onto your inspiration. PLUS, more than 150 career resources and programs targeted toward helping you move your vision forward in real time that will put your career on the fast track. With a foreword by LIVESTRONG’s Lance Armstrong and Doug Ulman and an afterword by Harlem Children’s Zone’s Geoffrey Canada, Work on Purpose is your source for inspiration and practical guidance around creating a career that will change your life—and the world. -- Provided by publisher.
