Read these books – they are valuable resources:
The books I read (some you may not have thought of):
Pivot: The Only Move that Matters is Your Next One by Jenny Blake – the best read for those who want/need to pivot aspects of their life, including job search
Attention Pays by Neen James – allows you to be intentional with where you invest your time and energy (and of course this is blatant self-promotion… based on feedback from clients who have used it to get internal promotions and also external new opportunities).
Strengths Finder 2.0 by Tom Rath – the opportunity to do what you love and what you are good at.
Hello, Fears: Crush Your Comfort Zone and Become Who You’re Meant to Be by Michele Poler – beautifully illustrated resource will help you work through fears you might have.
Exactly What to Say by Phil Jones – gives you the phrases to use and the questions to ask.
Influence Redefined: Be the Leader You Were Meant to Be Monday to Monday by Stacey Hanke – she outlines the elements of influence in a model with practical application.
Own it. Love it. Make it Work by Carson Tate – filled with strategies and case studies to make any job your dream job.
These have been recommended to me by people I trust:
Lose the Resume, Land the Job by Gary Burnison
Switchers: How Smart Professionals Change Careers by Dr. Dawn Graham
Find the Work You Love by Laurence Boldt
What Color is Your Parachute? by Richard Bolles
