EBBF Podcast Episode 16: Difficult but Worthwhile Paths Towards Meaningful Careers

The Ethical Business Building the Future organization, otherwise known as EBBF, is a not-for-profit that aims to promote moral and spiritual wisdom and principles found in the teachings of the Baha’i Faith and the great religious traditions of the world, such as the principles of justice, respect, trustworthiness, integrity and unity.

#discoveringhow is EBBF’s podcast series where you can hear personal experiences and insights from EBBF members — each episode offers you stepping stones, fresh ideas, and the personal learnings of people who believe that ethical business can and should build the future.

In this episode we discover key decisions one should address when you are about to make a career change. Two EBBF members also share their struggles and how they lived through their personal career transitions in their professional and personal lives: Enrico Giraudi made the shift from a career working for marketing goals of multi-nationals to working for the wellbeing of people. His path shifted from knowing “this is not my place any more” to the fear of moving away from a stable job and one’s fake identity. We also hear from Dr. Graham Boyd, who has a PhD in theoretical particle physics. In a significant career change he left physics to work for Procter & Gamble and is now the CEO of Evolute Six, a network of practitioners that promote work as a strategy for both professional and personal development.
