About Tanushree

For years, she was the go-to leader—delivering results, mentoring talent, and holding it all together. But beneath the surface, she wrestled with a quiet truth: she was coaching others to rise, while her own inner critic—the ever-present gremlin—kept her playing small.
That turning point became her catalyst.
Today, Tanu is a Certified Professional Coach, Energy Leadership Master Practitioner, and Stanford LEAD business program graduate with over 18 years of international corporate experience. Throughout her career, she earned multiple performance awards—not just for what she accomplished, but for how she led, with integrity, clarity, and care.
She now works with leaders who are ready to lead with real influence, not just authority. Her coaching is grounded in a whole-person energy-based approach—supporting clients in navigating both internal blocks and external challenges. Her mission? To eliminate workplace misery caused by poor leadership and build a world full of emotionally intelligent and inspiring leaders who create meaningful impact and leave behind a legacy that makes people proud to say, “I worked with them.”
Outside of coaching, she’s a proud mom to a bold 6-year-old who inspired her to publish two children’s books. She’s a lover of dance, deep conversations, culture-rich travel, books, and a good crime thriller on Netflix.

For years, the pursuit of purpose has been associated with sacrifice—long hours, low pay, and endless compromises. But is this really the cost of making an impact, or is it time to rethink how we approach meaningful work?

In this episode, we’re challenging outdated notions and exploring how to create a fulfilling career without sacrificing personal or financial growth.

Our guest today is Georgi Enthoven, author of “Work That’s Worth It”, a book designed for anyone striving to build a career that aligns with both their values and the world’s needs.

Georgi’s career journey took her across more than half a dozen countries, from her time at UC Berkeley and Harvard Business School to navigating roles that either met her ambitions or aligned with her desire to create positive change, but rarely both. Now, she’s a passionate advocate for young professionals seeking to combine contribution with compensation, empowering them to transform their work into a true calling.

Today, we’ll dive into her story and uncover actionable insights on how to design a career that’s meaningful for you and impactful for the world.
