Some hope for a mundane job that will allow them to fund side projects, and others long for a career they can call their vocation. Both routes can be equally fulfilling, but one thing is for sure: finding meaningful work isn’t always the smoothest of journeys. So, join us in an episode of Self-Improvement Atlas as host Marie Stella picks the brain of speaker and writer Rebecca Fraser- Thill to learn more about the psychology and design thinking required for a fulfilling career.

A seasoned leadership and career coach, Rebecca guides her clients through masterfully crafting pathways to more rewarding work, transcending mere job satisfaction. From coaching clients globally to shaping purpose-driven initiatives at renowned institutions like Bates College, she champions the ethos of meaningful engagement.

Rebecca starts by shedding light on design thinking and its role in shaping meaningful careers, offering useful advice for applying its principles to career planning. She then shares examples of clients who have managed to align passion with profession, as well as personal anecdotes from her own career journey. Together, Marie and Rebecca discuss ways to cope with potential challenges like work-life balance and burnout.
