In this episode, Paul and I talk about the day-to-day realities of COVID lockdown, and how quarantine has been impacting all of us. We talk a bit about Paul’s work in philanthropy, and how Paul got to where he is now in his career. Paul is currently the Vice President of the Canadian Association of Gift Planners, and sits on several charity boards and advisory groups.
Paul grew up in an immigrant household and like many, felt the pressure to have a high paying career. In this episode, Paul shares how the best thing that happened to his life and career was receiving the “gift of failure” in his early 20s, after which he discovered his values, and purpose, and ultimately built an incredibly successful a career as one of Canada’s top fundraisers. As someone who mentors daily (seriously!), Paul also shares insightful career advice for young people navigating their careers. We discuss the importance of purpose over passion, connecting over networking, the career secret of curiosity, and practical tips on seeking mentorship, including the “DNA of a coffee chat”.
