While the economic predictions are dire, the future is unknown and we, as a nation are struggling with the way forward - we suggest that there are ways to take control of your future and do good - be a change-maker too! Experts argue on the depth and breadth of the current economic crisis - we offer this book Reinventing Yourself For Good, For Good; as a manual packed with stories, anecdotes and proven methods from people just like you, who wanted or needed to be useful, follow a passion, stay engaged with the world. The rationale for this book is to give you the tools to prepare ahead of time ideally, well in advance, of the corporate Grim Reaper.

However, we recognize that since this book project was hatched, much has changed in our economic lives due to Covid-19. Originally, we focused on the realities of the aging corporate road warrior, where your unfulfilled days and nights on the road wear you down, or the feeling of impotence or lack of impact in your daily work - we present a trajectory to help you leave awful jobs and reinvent yourself, to do great work with new organizations and people. We provide the methodology to prepare you for that moment it which you can make the leap the leap into the space that needs you. By listening to the stories of those fellow Reinventors, you may find a personal narrative that resonates with you. We wager that as you Reinvent yourself, you will see many new opportunities, communities and organizations willing to embrace you in a way that recognizes all of the things that you know and in the case of the boomers, have learned the last 10 20, 30 40, 50 years.

Now more than ever, it is time to create your own destiny, rebuild your own economic and social impact through Reinventing Yourself For Good, For Good!

By employing some academic theory, change models, define practical structure and process, and lead you in a design thinking approach, on how to retool yourself, to identify those things that the world still needs from you. We both provide a narrative story were many stories of people just like you, who have made the leap in substantive ways - some young, many middle-age, many like me not ready to retire nor at retirement age - who were given an option to leave the corporate world without necessarily knowing that they would not return. I’ll help you harness your skills and capabilities in the next phase of your life.

Doric Earle

After 30 years of managing large technology consultancies, Dr. Doric E. Earle reinvented himself and is now dedicated to helping communities, social enterprises and entrepreneurs achieve collaborative, engaging and sustainable solutions. A Ph.D. in Public Affairs with a focus on urban planning informed his work, which uses economic development, communication and community engagement as a catalyst to unlock potential in underserved communities. Earle has leveraged his course work and student teams to engage a variety of nonprofits in the community to apply social innovation best practices. These community engagement efforts, along with academic research insights, are creating a three-pronged approach to community activation: economic (entrepreneurship), housing/place building and agricultural/environmental.

Social impact is integrated into all of his work, including his co-founded, community-based real estate platform the Dallas Unity Fund LLC and co-founded award-winning urban farm, Restorative Farms, where he is also the volunteer CFO. Earle learned the nuances of social impact through extensive Board of Director and consulting work with Dallas nonprofits including Frazier Revitalization, Bridge Lacrosse, Green Careers Texas, Carter’s House, Braincharge, and Miles of Freedom, to name a few. In addition, Earle is utilizing these local nonprofits and social enterprises as engaged learning opportunities for his SMU students. These efforts will drive collaboration between the community, SMU, and other educational institutions and like-minded partners in pursuit of addressing the needs of disinvested and underserved communities.

Earle is also co-director of the SMU Impact Lab, Director of the SMU-in-London Program, an SMU Hunt Institute Fellow, recipient of the 2023 UN Day Global Leadership Award and Director Nonprofit & Arts Leadership Advisory for the Meadows School of the Arts’ Division of Corporate Communication and Public Affairs.
