E235: Eric Nehrlich - Reconnecting with Purpose

In Eric's Words:


 


I used to be miserable. I had spent my whole life exceeding
expectations, and eventually landed a dream job at Google, tasked
with responsibilities that felt so important that I could not
fail. But a couple years later, I was working 8am to midnight
every day, including most weekends, drowning in emails and
meetings and tasks, feeling stuck with no idea how my life was
ever going to change. Now my work is meaningful and inspiring to
me, and I work when I choose. I spend quality time with my
family, while still having time for my own pursuits. I am
designing my own life, day by day, to create impact in alignment
with my values. What changed? I realized I had a choice. I could
keep going as I had been, letting my success be defined by the
expectations of others. Or I could find a new path, one where I
chose my own success. As part of redesigning my life, I became an
executive coach, helping leaders grow their impact by sharing the
principles and mindsets that I had used to change my own life. In
November of 2023, I published a book, You Have A Choice: Beyond
Hard Work to Meaningful Impact, to share that approach with a
wider audience and help others start on their own journey of
discovery and creation.
