Purposeful

This book is for people who want to believe they can affect change, to help them understand where they have power, and how to use it. Our world of work is changing and we need new lessons on how to adapt to these new values, whether that’s balancing work and family life or empowering women as leaders. Former senior executive at Yahoo and Google, and now President and COO of Change.org, Jennifer Dulski uses her own life experiences, stories from throughout her career, and inspiring examples of Change.org petition starters to offer lessons on how we can all tap into our power to change the world.

From following your natural talents, finding a mentor, harnessing the power of fear, and closing the confidence gap, Jennifer will teach you how we can all be leaders, doing more meaningful work and living a life with more purpose.
