Synopsis

STOP FINDING JUST ONE-JOB-IN-A-ROW and start owning your career with this much needed and unique approach to career management. The book is packed with, assessments to help you jump into the process, exercises to tease out your thoughts and feelings and lots of stories about other peoples' career questions and how they answered them....or didn't. Already feel like you've been wandering through the last few jobs? If you're 28 - 58 years old, you've had enough experience to realize some of the less than perfect ways the market place treats talent. Why not leverage your talent and the work options you have available by managing them instead of reacting to them. Maybe it's time to move up in your profession but first you need to adapt your style of working instead of pulling the rip cord again and exiting your job when things begin to feel a little awkward. For the emerging college undergraduate or graduate student; start thinking strategically about your career now, not after you've wandered for a decade and become frustrated with the lack of plan and the mediocre jobs you're landing. There are some strategic things you can do starting tomorrow. Answering the Three Career Questions makes sure you’re asking the right questions about your career at this time. Only then can you be sure you're pursuing answers worth having. Check out the Career Tornado on p. 11 and see if you're spinning up the same conversations in your head and wasting your valuable time doing so. Each of the Three Questions has a chapter dedicated to helping you develop your strategic answer to that question. The book opens with a Quick Pre-Test to help you determine what might be the most compelling question for you at this time. Answering the Three Career Questions will stay around your office as your "flight manual" for career management. The importance of each of these questions will shift and change throughout your career and you'll want to refer to the book again and again. You will need to answer The Three Questions more than once throughout your career. It's not because you got the answer wrong the last time but because you are a dynamic talent in a dynamic market place and things change constantly. When they do, you need to revisit the questions for a fresh approach to managing your career. Be sure to check into the last chapter Leveraging Professional Associations in Your Career Management Strategy. You'll find one of the biggest professional ironies explained as well as tips for what to do about it. We all join professional associations to further our careers. But have you noticed that once you actually join in the activities of most associations, the topic of "career management" is never even mentioned much less made part of the meeting agendas or the association's services available to you. It seems like you're on your own, but now it comes with annual dues. Not anymore. Read about specific things you can do to further you career strategy by being in a professional association. The book even breaks it down to things you can do depending on which of The Three Questions you're working on.

PERSONAL STATEMENT: Here are a couple of things that really matter to me. Speaking to large audiences and teaching are my favorite indoor sports and it's fun - for me and the audience. Focusing and accelerating organizations and other coaches in their capacity to understand and manage talent is crucial. I do it for the benefit of all involved; including the employees who are moving up, moving out or adapting their style for greater success and who are the ultimate sources of real production. The nobility of work in all its forms is my fascination. Always has been. I've watched it become a passion, a pain, an inspiration, a consolation and an obsession for many. If I can help you get it right for you or your organization at this time, I'm pleased and rewarded.
