Sobre aquest llibre
How has your answer changed since childhood to the often-asked question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” For most, the answers tend to begin with excited seven-year-olds confidently and excitedly screaming out things like, “A basketball player!” or “A fireman!” or “A cook!” and then ten to fifteen years later those same kids are shrugging their shoulders while saying, “Not sure. Maybe something in accounting?” What happened? When did we lose the courage to find our true calling and not just settle for what make sense in today’s workforce, or what our parents pushed us toward?
Career Courage is meant to help you conquer your fears, shed misguided ideas, and muster the strength to let go of a safe job and stage your next act. Whether you’re a college grad contemplating choices or a seasoned professional seeking new directions, this guidebook 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
- Think like an entrepreneur
- Prioritize a truly fulfilling life
Starting or changing careers can be a scary, soul-searching process. Career Courage will give you the strength and guidance you need to break free from your fears and find fulfillment in the workforce.
