With almost 30 years in both the corporate and non-profit sectors, including 12 years international experience, I may have finally figured out what it is I need to do; where I am compelled to focus my energy and skills.
Is it within the corporate world? Uh uh. The heart, although it’s taken a beating of late, still lies with non-profits, start-ups, and bringing about positive change through social innovation. You know, that idealistic ‘stuff” that doesn’t necessary pay the bills, but definitely let’s you sleep better at night knowing you’re doing the most with your life.
Call me an unrepentant idealist. I can take it! I welcome it!
As of February 2014, I’ve let go of my safety net (i.e. the job) and am devoting every spare minute to my community and helping those around me achieve their best.
A final note, if you’re not already an organ and tissue donor, why is that? I truly want to know. If it’s just because you haven’t gotten around to registering, I’m making it dead easy for you. If you live in Ontario, Canada Click here: Trillium Gift of Life – Be A Donor!
