032 | Purpose & Work ft. Gayatri Agnew

The Encourage Project with Amy A. Fairchild

By far the most insightful, enlightening discussion on purpose thus far! Newsflash: You do not magically wake up one day with a sense of purpose. It requires a journey into yourself. Yes!

Gayatri Agnew worked in the public sector both in government and non-profits and found her way to business because of her desire to work on impact at scale. She is committed to shared value and believes businesses can be a force for good in society. Raised by a single mom in California, she knows firsthand that access to education and good jobs change lives. Gayatri serves on the leadership team of one of the world’s largest retailers where she leads strategy and philanthropy for the company’s efforts on economic mobility – specifically, a shared value approach to human capital, partnerships and philanthropy focused on key issues such as employer practices change, improving work-based learning and strengthening inclusion in communities. Gayatri’s personal mission is for more people to find purpose through the way they earn a living.
