Manage episode 393007192 series 1463166
Andrea Putting is a passionate explorer on a quest to uncover the secrets of creating a better life. With a background that spans both entrepreneurship and the corporate world, she has gained unique insights into finding fulfilment and purpose.
But what truly sets Andrea apart is her unexpected journey. It led to the creation of Chocolate and Coffee Day for Religious Harmony, an inspiring initiative that brings people from diverse backgrounds together over the simple pleasures of chocolate, coffee, and conversation, dismantling the barriers that divide us. This journey also gave birth to Chocolate and Coffee Breaks, an extension of that spirit of togetherness throughout the year.
She delved into Social Missions, becoming the voice behind a popular podcast and the author of two thought-provoking books: "Compassionate Prosperity: When Success is Not Enough" and "Compassionate Purpose: Discovering a Life of Fulfilment."
But the adventure doesn't stop there. As a seasoned speaker, Andrea has graced countless stages, captivating audiences with their wisdom and insights. Self-publishing opened new horizons, leading to the establishment of a publishing business, Putting Words. Her life is now a captivating and ever-evolving story, guided by a deep understanding of her own identity, strengths, and the opportunities that present themselves.
Through countless interactions with clients, Andrea was reminded that each of us possesses a story worth sharing—a story with the power to touch and transform lives. She firmly believes that by persistently sharing these stories, positive change can ripple through our world.
Andrea Putting lives in Melbourne, Australia with her husband and pet cockatoo. They have two adult children and two grandchildren who keep her jumping in puddles

— Andrea Putting [00:02:19 → 00:02:26]
Finding Purpose and Impact: "So I do that, and that works into helping people to find that special social mission that resonates with them, whether that's a volunteering situation or whether it's starting their own social mission and the same with businesses on coming together and finding that and collaborating together maybe with other businesses on creating a social mission and finding a way they can have a greater impact in the world."
— Andrea Putting [00:02:47 → 00:03:15]

Viral Topic: Sharing Stories Over Chocolate and Coffee

Viral Topic: Balancing Motherhood and Entrepreneurship
Quote: "I started my journey as an at home mother. I managed to be at home with my children right through their school life. But while I say that, I didn't just sit around and do nothing."
— Andrea Putting [00:05:30 → 00:05:40]
Workplace Satisfaction: "Why is going to work such a drag? Why are people so depressed in the workplace. Why do we get so unsatisfied with what we do?"
— Andrea Putting [00:06:51 → 00:07:02]
