Looking for work you love that pays the bills? Wondering how to switch careers once you’ve already started down one path? Wanting to incorporate both social impact and personal meaning into your career? If you've asked yourself any of these questions, join author and facilitator Adam Smiley Poswolsky for a talk on coming alive with your work and creating a purpose-driven career. His book, The Quarter-Life Breakthrough, an Amazon bestseller, shares the stories of many twenty- (and thirty-) somethings who are discovering how to work with purpose (and still pay their rent). Despite struggling with debt, recession, and the jobs crisis, these millennials aren't motivated by money. Rather, they're driven to make the world more compassionate, innovative, and sustainable.
