Don't Quit Your Day Job with Bea Boccalandro

Hello CauseGirl and welcome to our first episode with author and researcher Bea Boccalandro. Without knowing what was missing exactly, Bea quit her corporate job in her 20s and went on a mission to “not do lame work.” As a self-proclaimed nerd, she set her sights on finding the answer to why she quit and the difference between petty, complaining co-workers looking for other jobs and those who were happy and productive and staying put. In this episode we talk about the difference between passion and purpose and learn how her aptly-coined phrase, job purposing, can boost our work engagement, performance and wellbeing while alleviating hunger, poverty, environmental degradation and other societal issues. 

Here to tell us how to turn ANY  job into something worth getting out of bed for, this is her story. Enjoy!
