Description

What do you want to be when you grow up? That question nags at us long after childhood. Why is it so hard to figure out? Because finding your true calling takes courage. It means conquering fears, shedding misguided ideas, and mustering the strength to let go of a safe job and stage your next act.

Career Courage serves as a personal coach through the soul-searching and planning process ahead, whether you’re a college grad contemplating choices, a seasoned professional seeking new directions, or a stay-at-home mom preparing to reenter the workplace. Packed with exercises and stories of inspiring second acts, the book poses tough questions about motivation, confidence, character, risk tolerance, and more. The answers will power your journey forward as you learn to:

Clarify what really matters • Express your point of view • Build strong relationships and a robust network • Stay focused on finances • Think like an entrepreneur • Prioritize a truly fulfilling life • And more

A career that seemed promising can feel like a dead end today. Career Courage helps you break free and create your own brand of success.

Featured Reviews

Career Courage is a holistic approach to finding and/or rediscovering your individual passion and vocation. Based on the experiences of a burned-out psychotherapist, the author takes you through a series of discovery activities that focuses on understanding yourself at a deeper level so that you can fully understand what it is you want out of a career, and life. Easy to follow advice and activities guide you through the discovery process. Through introspective activities that examine values, self-perception, emotions, motivation, and relationships, a clearer picture of “who you are” is discovered. Along with personal examination, professional roles of risk taking, networking, vision, decision making, and influence, your professional identity is explored and developed. Good pathway and guidance for those seeking career change or for those that are recent graduates and not sure what to do with their degrees.
