Work For Humans

Designing Your Legacy: How to Get Unstuck and Live Your Legacy Forward at Work | Jeff Saperstein


Listen Later

Jeff Saperstein watched his father spend his life in a job that used only a tiny portion of his true capabilities. By day, Jeff's father worked as a postman, but in his spare time, he read deeply and broadly in the classics, and he was a national chess champion and master. That would've been fine if Jeff's father had been okay with it, but he really wasn't.

Jeff resolved to live a different life. He moved from New York to California where he felt the ethos was much more sky's the limit and future-oriented. He reached for and attained senior marketing roles in top companies, wrote nine books, and now helps others live their full potential through his work as a university instructor and career coach.

In this episode, Dart and Jeff discuss:
- Creating a legacy through your work
- Managers as mentors
- Finding purpose at work
- Three aspects of connecting meaningfully with others
- Creating an inner circle of people who share your values
- Company culture
- What to do when you feel stuck in your job
- And other topics…

Jeff Saperstein is an author, university lecturer, and certified career coach. After climbing the corporate ladder in advertising, nonprofit marketing, and fundraising, Jeff decided to follow his calling and founded his own company. Now, Jeff helps accomplished professionals experience value-based growth through meaningful career transitions.

Jeff has written nine books and five case studies on business, including one bestseller. He is a lecturer at San Francisco State University, where his legacy includes promoting the growth of his students from diverse socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds.
