You know that feeling you get at work… the gnawing question about whether the work you do is making a difference? Is it contributing to the greater good? Does it fulfill you?
You’re not alone.
Research published in 2016 by Imperative and LinkedIn showed that 74% of professionals want to find work that delivers a sense of purpose, and many will take a pay cut to get it. Master’s degrees and years spent grinding at consultancies, finance institutions, and tech giants don’t cut it anymore. According to a report from Deloitte titled the Purpose Driven Professional:
“Millennials, Baby Boomers, retirees, and Gen Xers are increasingly seeking opportunities to pursue social impact, while working in the corporate sector.”
And while a dreamy notion, actually finding your purpose is no easy task — there often are limited openings on corporate social responsibility teams, creating business cases for social impact integration can be a challenge on your own, and you may struggle with simply defining what your purpose might be, especially when you’re constantly called on by the current demands of your job. But this is where MovingWorlds Impact Teams can help.
What it is:
Impact Teams build on the transformative power of Experteering by connecting you with a cohort of other changemakers while you embark on a learning journey that will build your skills, guide you to making a real impact in the field, and help you tell your professional career story in a way that lands you into a purpose-driven career.

What is Experteering?
Experteering is a movement of professionals volunteer their actual expertise in immersive projects — typically overseas.
