While career professionals from all walks of life may have generated their sense of accomplishment from trading handshakes after closing a business deal, or being recognized for being the best at what they do, many people are finding that they want more. They want to fuel their passion by making a different kind of difference in the world.

Jane Langa Miller, Founder of Purpose-Driven Transitions, says that for many people, nonprofits are the perfect way to do exactly that, and their professional skills are exactly what those nonprofits need.

Jane's firm helps people understand what it takes to make a transition, provides perspective that highlights the differences between profit and nonprofit organizations, and connects the dots that help corporate careerists understand their desire to not just know success in their careers, but experience significance by making a difference in the lives of real people.

Many executives and senior-level professionals find nonprofits exceptionally rewarding, not just monetarily but also when it comes to emotional fulfillment.

If you’re considering moving into the nonprofit sector, listen and learn what you should know making the transition as smooth as possible. I think you'll be glad you did.
