TNT ESQ: Episode 52 with Ozlem Brooke Erol - PURPOSE BEYOND PROFIT - a podcast by Teresa Quinlan

Today we welcome Brooke Erol.

Brooke 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 Your Best Life 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 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 Create a Life You Love. She is also the co-author of "From Hierarchy to High Performance” that became an International Best Seller in 2018. She speaks and writes about Leadership, Purposeful Life and Purposeful Organizations in the US and abroad.

We dive into:

- I did all the traditional stuff and arrived at ‘is this it?’

- I wasn’t not happy, and was unfulfilled. How does that work together?

- The path(s) we can take to unleash our happiness is finding our purpose, our passion, and deciding to take those paths.

- 2 things from Ozlem's research for organizations with purpose and passion:

o Great leaders with high EQ is essential

o Purpose beyond profit – something bigger is essential

- Start paying attention to love, happiness, excitement – write these things down in a journal that you keep for years, because these are your passions and purpose!
