{"product_id":"9781577314387","title":"Authentic Career: Following the Path of Self-Discovery to Professional Fulfillment","description":"Many people experience some degree of job dissatisfaction. But figuring out whether they should change themselves - or change jobs - isn't easy. Drawing on her business background, her training as a social worker, and her years of experience as an executive coach, Maggie Craddock outlines a therapeutic process that carefully separates what the reader wants and needs from the often-frustrating demands of family and work. The author believes that identifying authentic career goals and strategies requires a careful examination of one's inner life. She clearly outlines the four-stage process - beginning with the Awareness Stage and ending with the Integration Stage - and includes exercises, examples, and inspirational quotes. Craddock gently guides the reader through the process, illustrating each stage with real-life examples, including stories from Fortune 500 CEOs and professional women returning to the workforce after having children. Ultimately a very hopeful book, The Authentic Career is a welcome companion on anyone's career path.","brand":"New World Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47056516841712,"sku":"9781577314387","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781577314387_p0.jpg?v=1763798547","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781577314387","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
