At some point in your life, you will face a fork in the road: do you want to stay on a career track that simply pays you, or do you want to follow your true passion, build something of your own, and write your own story?  

Melissa L. Hart did just that. She mastered human resources working at Fortune 50 companies all over the United States, then quit to start her own firm, The HumanVantage® Consulting Group, where she helps to bridge the gap between corporate executives and the teams they manage.

But that’s not all.. Melissa is also the Founder of The HART of CHANGE™, which was her answer to a corporate lifestyle of poor eating habits, lack of sleep, endless travel, and stress associated with juggling career and family. When she realized the impact it was having on her health, she knew things had to change.

Today, I’m speaking with Melissa about finding your purpose in life and how to share it with the people around you as you work toward your greatest good, no matter what you do.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

1. Why there’s more to life than 80 hour workweeks—and how to evaluate your work-life balance.
2. That Human Resources isn’t just about benefits and compensation—and why HR specialists are psychologists, mediators, and confidants—often all at once
3. The biggest thing that millions of people overlook when thinking about retirement—and how to turn this potential drawback into a major benefit.
