Gregg Levoy
Following Your Passion
Career development is a lifelong process that includes self-assessment-- reflecting on interests, skills, personality traits, and values. For many, career planning begins with identifying a unique purpose that, if pursued, will bring meaning and satisfaction to their professional and personal lives. Some may define this as following a calling; others may see it as living an authentic life.
Gregg Levoy, author of Callings: Finding and Following an Authentic Life, offers compelling questions for those seeking to recognize their callings.
