    More Than a Paycheck: Rethinking Career Success with Brooke Erol

    What truly matters to you is a question my guest, Brooke Erol, elaborates on in her book More Than a Paycheck. This timely and insightful conversation centers around her guide to navigating today’s rapidly shifting job market.  What is the reality that many professionals are facing? Recent graduates struggling to land traditional roles, to seasoned professionals rethinking stability after repeated layoffs. Brooke introduces the idea that job security is no longer tied to a single employer and encourages listeners to adopt an “AND mindset,” where multiple income streams, side gigs, and passion projects can coexist. Through real-world examples, she reframes non-linear career paths as not only acceptable, but necessary in today’s landscape. Listeners walk away with a renewed sense of ownership over their careers and a clear message: success today is about designing a career that aligns with your life and not just chasing a paycheck. -------- We want to hear from you!

Erol started her career at IBM following the traditional path she was given to be "successful". She quit her "great job" on paper after 11 years, feeling she is not aligned with it. She started her journey to find her purpose in life.  She started her first business in 2003 (http://www.yourbestlifeinc.com/) to help professionals who want to find more meaning at work. After being around so many unhappy people at work, she started her second business (http://www.purposeful.business/) to help leaders grow their businesses without sacrificing the well-being of their people; having a purpose beyond profit. She believes life is too precious to live only for weekends and retirement.  She is the author of the new bestseller in its own category, More than a Paycheck and also Create a Life You Love. She is the co-author of "From Hierarchy to High Performance” that became an International Best Seller in 2018 and  “8 Ways to Ditch Dogma” books as well. She speaks and writes about Leadership, Purposeful Work, Future of Work and Purposeful Organizations in the US and abroad.
