Compassionate Careers : Making a Living by Making a Difference

“What I see when I look into the eyes and hearts of the people who serve is joy. My invitation to you is to join them on compassionate careers.” —Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Many young people today are seeking something more - purpose, meaning, a cause.

COMPASSIONATE CAREERS is filled with examples of people who have meaningful jobs in cause-focused organisations. These stories capture their spirit, intelligence, imagination and heart. The book is an inspirational guide to finding meaningful work and offers advice to anyone who feels that sitting on the sidelines is just not enough.

It includes:

· Stories from people of all walks of life who have jobs that make a
difference, including Bill Clinton, Jane Goodall and Dave Matthews.
· Information on how to get started in a cause-focused career.
· An online assessment that identifies the type of organisational
culture for which you are best suited.
· Exercises and resources for hands-on exploration of
compassionate career opportunities.

An old Yaqui Indian proverb reads, “If you have a choice of paths to take in life, take the path with a heart.” COMPASSIONATE CAREERS will show you how.
