What inspired you to write Wanted -> A New Career?
“How did you do that?”
That’s the question I’m asked when I tell people I transferred skills to multiple careers in multiple industries, from an award-winning TV news reporter to entertainment lawyer to HR Business Partner coaching the C-Suite in multiple industries. I know first-hand that transitioning careers can be frustrating and confusing, so I wrote a book which provides people with easy-to-follow steps on how to re-evaluate their job or career at any age, determine how to find a career that would be fulfilling, and then transfer their skills and capabilities to the new job or career.
Ultimately, my goal in writing this book was to help people overcome their fear of changing jobs or careers and find true purpose and fulfillment in their work.
How did your background and experience influence your writing?
I am a certified career, executive, and team coach, certified in HR, as well as an Harvard Business Review and Newsweek contributor. My human resources, career, executive and team coaching certifications and expertise, combined with my experience coaching hundreds of clients has provided me with a unique understanding of how to empower people to overcome their fear and find a fulfilling career which enriches their lives.
What is one message you would like readers to remember?
Life isn’t Linear®. You are never too old to pursue a fulfilling career.
You deserve to find the career and/or company that excites you when you wake up every morning. If you are spending 40+ hours a week at work, you deserve to be as fulfilled at work just as much as you deserve to be fulfilled and happy outside of work.
