Podcast | How to Build a Purpose-Driven Career | Devon Fritz
How professionals can use their skills, values and career choices to create measurable positive impact, with our guest Devon Fritz.
Have you ever wondered how to turn your career into one of the biggest ways you can make a difference?
Today’s guest is Devon Fritz, author of The High-Impact Professional’s Playbook and co-founder of the nonprofit High Impact Professionals.
Devon works with professionals who want to move beyond good intentions and create measurable impact through their careers – whether that means changing jobs, shifting sectors, using existing skills in new ways, or finding other routes to contribute through mentoring, volunteering, board roles or donating.
In this episode, we explore the growing demand for purposeful work, why people from sectors like tech, finance and consulting are increasingly looking towards conservation and social impact, and what often holds them back.
We also unpack Devon’s IMPACT framework – a practical step-by-step process for identifying what matters, mapping career options, prioritising pathways, and taking clear action towards more meaningful work.
If you’re a professional wondering how to use your skills for good – or a career switcher looking for a more purposeful path – this episode is for you.
It’s a purposeful, practical, and high-impact podcast.
Enjoy.
