Your job title doesn't define you. Your 'and' does. 

Gear Up for Growth
With Jean Caragher
For CPA Trendlines

“If we make sure that people are doing their ‘ands,’ they’re going to accidentally do their best work,” says John Garrett, author of "What’s Your ‘And’?" and stand-up comedian. During his appearance on Gear Up for Growth, hosted by Jean Caragher of Capstone Marketing, the self-described "recovering CPA" says, “They’re going to accidentally stay. You’re going to attract more talent. You’re going to attract more clients. Everything good is going to happen from that.”.

Garrett says your job title doesn’t define you, your “and” does. An “and” is a passion, hobby, or interest outside of work that makes people unique and memorable. “You’re not a CPA; you’re a human being that does accounting work. You’re bigger and better than a tiny, little job title,” he explains.
