The Authentic Career: Following the Path of Self-Discovery to Professional Fulfillment

Most people suffer from some sort of job dissatisfaction. But figuring out whether they should change or their jobs should change isn't easy. From a leading executive coach comes The Authentic Career, perhaps the first book to provide readers with a formal sequence that combines professional, psychological, and spiritual resources to achieve career success and fulfillment. The four-stage process -- clearly outlined and filled with exercises, examples, and inspirational quotes -- has proven successful for the author's clients of all levels, from Fortune 500 CEOs to professional women returning to the workforce after having children. Craddock combines her business background as a Lipper Award-winning fund manager with her training as a social worker and years of experience as an executive coach to outline a therapeutic process that clearly separates what we want and need in order to find fulfillment from the external demands and expectations that family, society, and the workplace impose
