E158 Next Act Give Back with Kirsten Bunch

My guest, Kirsten Bunch, 49, began her midlife career pivot weary from nearly constant travel to far away lands. She craved the routine of “trash day is Tuesday”. She had spent her career working for international non-profit organizations creating true impact in the small villages of developing countries.

When Kirsten was home, that home was practically a foreign land. So she pivoted.

Kirsten now assists men and women looking to shift in their careers in ways that give back and change the world.

She has written Next Act Give Back, Discover your personal path to go from being charitable to being a changemaker.

The book is a nice guide to understanding the ins and outs of the changemaker’s world as well as a solid reference for anyone looking to pivot mid-career.
