Brooke Ozlem Erol has started her career at IBM following the traditional path she was given to be "successful". She quit her great job after 11 years, feeling she is not aligned with it. She started her journey to find her purpose in life. She loved the process she went through to find out her gifts, her passion, and how she can play her part in the world to make it a better place. She believes it is too important not to find out who we really are authentically. She started her first business in 2003 (www.yourbestlifeinc.com) to help professionals who don’t like their jobs and want to find more meaning in life, as a career coach. After being around so many unhappy people at work, she decided to help the organizations who employed them by starting her second business (www.purposeful.business). She loves helping leaders create inspiring and purposeful environments so that all stakeholders (employees, clients, vendors, suppliers, shareholders) are happier. She also helps them hire the right people who are also a good culture fit. She believes life is too precious to live only for weekends and retirement. She is the author of Create a Life You Love and she speaks at various events in the country and abroad. She is a contributor to Huffington Post under Great Work Culture topics. She is almost done with a co-authored book about better work environments that will be published in 2018 and she is writing her second book on purposeful and humanistic workplaces. She also volunteers for several nonprofits she loves.
