Work That’s Worth It. Purpose Driven Career Paths with Georgi Enthoven
Are you chasing success but craving purpose? Is it possible to have both?
In this episode, I sit down with Georgie Enthoven, author of 'Work That's Worth It,' who joins me from San Francisco.
Having lived and worked in a number of emerging markets, Georgi discusses the challenges of balancing career ambitions with impactful work, particularly after becoming a mother. And how a real life a-ha moment inspired her to explore how individuals can integrate impact and compensation into their careers, and write about what she found in Work that’s Worth it.
We delve into Georgie's 'seven Cs' framework, emphasising capabilities, contribution, and compensation, along with the importance of a supportive network.
Georgi also talks about how using real life ‘characters’ and their stories helped to bring the book to life.
Through these conversations, Georgi discovered that combining ambition with purpose is not only possible but also deeply rewarding, offering a richer, more fulfilling work life for those who have done it.
Join us to see how you can craft a career that’s good for you and good for the world.
