Beyond the Comfort of Your Corporate Position into your Life’s Purpose
When God gives you a vision, He doesn’t give it to a committee, he gives it to a single individual. However, fear of what others may think will often hinder us from making certain decisions, such as leaving a profitable high ranking job for a more community focused mission, moving to a new state, or taking care of a loved one. Join this conversation with James Rosseau as we discuss how and when to roll up your sleeves, go beyond your current position, and serve your purpose to the world.
James Rosseau is the Founder and CEO of The Corelink Solution, a non-profit that’s committed to empowering people to reach their potential. The organization delivers learning programs through the brand and faith-based media platform Holy Culture. His passion is to empower youth to understand, release, and maximize their potential.
James talks about how he chose not to be caught up in the demands of a corporate position to the detriment of his purpose. He explains that roles and positions are seasonal and the importance of not letting job titles or positions, which are temporary, stop us from serving our purpose, which is eternal. If you feel that God is calling you to do something courageous, this episode is for you.
