“I love that OnPurpose enables such smart and experienced people to fulfil their wish to have a purposeful rather than a profit-driven career. It's been a privilege to share my thoughts and experience with several cohorts over the years, and each time it gives me hope that more of us are willing to move away from the traditional ideas of 'career success' towards work that makes a real difference in the world.”
