A Playbook for Reinventing Your Career in a World That Won’t Stand Still
When it’s time for a change, stretch your Career Imagination, make a plan and end up where you belong.
A Playbook for Reinventing Your Career in a World That Won’t Stand Still is for people who are grappling with the challenges of staying relevant, staying engaged, and finding fulfilment in their jobs. In it I ask you to consider what your work would look like if there were no limits, no doubts, no distractions. What makes you feel like you’re doing what you were meant to do? What does your ideal workday feel like? Imagine the sky at its bluest. We call this process of dreaming Career Imagination. It starts with believing that your dream can come true, no matter who you are, because wonderful careers are for ordinary people, it’s true every day.
This book provides you with the background knowledge you’ll need to figure out where you should go and how you can get there. I spoke to more than a hundred people with a wide variety of experiences, and I learned what leads to career success for the ordinary person with an ordinary education — and usually some big dreams.
