Description of the book
No matter your field of interest, A Career is a Promise offers a proven framework for finding purpose, fulfillment, and success. Robin Landa, one of the world's leading experts on creativity and idea generation, reveals practical strategies that will help you identify a career worthy of your intelligence, aptitudes, and time.
Much more than a how-to guide, the roadmaps, prompts, inner directed questions, and self-assessment tools will help you discover what most excites you professionally, how to set worthwhile career goals, find purpose in your career, achieve success, lead with compassion, find fulfillment, secure mentors and sponsors, and enhance your creative thinking to best compete in a global marketplace.
Most of us don’t spend adequate time thinking about what ignites our souls and makes careers roar–well enough to forge a fruitful and satisfying career path. When you spend more than one third of your life working, your career should hold promise. A career is a promise you make to yourself.
Review: A Career is a Promise: Finding Purpose, Success, and Fulfillment
The use of online systems has afforded the opportunity for many of us to live in a world where much of what we do daily is online. And this may include our careers. To assist us on our career path are a vast number of Career Exploration Tools and books.
Robin Landa, a distinguished professor at Kean University and a globally recognized creativity and design expert has a new book out titled, A Career is a Promise: Finding Purpose, Success, and Fulfillment.
Robin states that her best career advice was received from her uncle. She discusses the importance of looking at breaking your core values into personal and business values and offers examples of people doing this.
The 8 easy to understand chapters look at finding your purpose, as well as the importance of goal setting, and job satisfaction. I really liked the section that reviewed motivating goals.
Robin reminds us that diverse perspectives ensure equity and greater understanding and stresses one of the things we should ask ourselves is what will I do that makes me feel fulfilled?
