"A lot of what gets passed on as 'good careers advice' is based on 20th-century corporate careers. Real life is running somewhat ahead of this but few experts have been able to capture, distil and pass on what matters in today's always-online world - mostly because we are too old. Design Your Life is the book to fill that gap. Erifili is talking to her Gen Z peers, but her book is also a must-read for anyone who is curious to understand how we can make the most of our unique skills and qualities, while harnessing the exciting new tech-driven possibilities for a long-term and fulfilling working life."
Erifili Gounari is CEO and Founder of The Z Link, a consultancy which advises leading organizations such as Deloitte, Hearst and Ikea on how they can improve their connection with Gen Z. She is widely recognized as a Gen Z thought leader, was listed in the 2023 class of Forbes 30 under 30 and sits on the Advisory Board of Youthful Cities. She is based in London, UK.
