Talking with Sarah Rozenthuler about her book Powered by Purpose, which is so relevant to our time, the depth and breadth of knowledge she draws upon is self- evident.
Sarah was, in part, motivated to write Powered by Purpose in order to address the Financial Times’ description of purpose as ‘a black box with all its workings hidden from view.’
I wanted to see if there was a way of laying out what those mechanisms were and then translating them from that into really practical tools.
We converse about her own underpinning personal purpose, and It is impossible not to admire Sarah’s heady mix of compassion, drive and determination to write in order to support the corporate sector to be a force for good.
I think orientating a business, an organisation so it’s truly of service to people and the planet, so it’s really creating value for long term well being, is going to be one of the key factors of organisational success going forwards.
Esther Foreman of the Social Change Agency, describes Powered by Purpose as ‘compulsory reading for any leader searching for purpose and looking to authentically transform their organisation, people and planet for positive impact.’
I hope that listening to our conversation has you reaching to obtain your own copy of Powered by Purpose.
It is available to order from your favourite independent bookseller, Waterstones and in both print and kindle versions from Amazon. Likewise, Sarah’s first book, How to Have Meaningful Conversations.
