Coach Yourself To A New Career: A Guide For Discovering Your Ultimate Profession

The Title of Deborah's book, Coach Yourself to a New Career, could also have been titled Coach Yourself to a New Career and a Life. Deborah Brown-Volkman gives some VERY thought-provoking questions in "Coach Yourself to a New Career."Chapter Three contains a very profound sentence: "If you already cherish silence as a secret weapon, you're very fortunate."Pages 38-39, Listening to Your Inner Voice, especially hit home with me because we need to listen to our dreams and our heart.The Testimonials in Chapter Five on pages 57-58 and Putting Your Fears at Bay on page 58 are some of Mrs. Volkman's most powerful parts of her book. She poses the question of what your inactivity due to supposed fear has cost you. What also is great about Deborah's book is that she adds some personal signs from the Universe that she WAS doing the right thing, such as the poem that she found in a gift shop in New Mexico while on vacation with her husband (page 72). She said that she knew that the poem was meant for her.Brown-Volkman is also very pragmatic in her techniques to find a career (and a life) that you love.She gives the reader a sense that our successes are a team effort on page 84 and that it IS okay to ask for help.After being successful, Mrs. Volkman insists that we should share our gifts with the world on page 88. She is absolutely right on with the sharing concept.Insistence on sharing our talents is also present among Brown-Volkman's colleague, Cheryl Richardson, who has also stressed the need to share our gifts and unique talents with the world.Finally, Brown-Volkman includes five of her bonus articles from various publications. As a writer myself, I have seen some of her very well written articles in the Wall Street Journal and on several websites such as 6FigureJobs.com. I was very pleased to see some of her articles in the book.
