The release of Echoing Green’s new book, Work on Purpose, is only weeks away! So we thought it was about time we told you a bit more about the five changemakers featured in the book—whose true-life narratives we hope will help you align your heart and your head so you can create a career with meaningful impact.
In Work on Purpose, you’ll learn:
Why Andrew Youn left a lucrative financial consulting career to put his business skills to work solving chronic hunger in farming communities in Kenya;
How Cheryl Dorsey found the courage to leave behind a career as a doctor to identify a role that felt “right” for her—eventually leading her to serve as Echoing Green’s president;
The reason Mark Hanis, the grandson of four Holocaust survivors, realized that in pursuing his calling to equip individuals with the tools to prevent and stop genocide, he also had to take care of himself;
Why it took a tragedy for architect turned lender, Mardie Oakes, to discover her true purpose—providing affordable homes to people in the process of being de-institutionalized;
And the story of how Socheata Poeuv put in long hours at a television network until revelations about her family’s history inspired her to tell her story and the stories of others whose lives were impacted by the devastating Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia.
Which story are you most excited to read?
