"A simple and practical guide to navigate a challenging journey: Your Career. A Must Read." - Dr. Albert Siu, VP and General Manager of PAREXEL Learning and Development, PAREXEL International
In this book Lisa guides you through a journey into what really makes you tick. You’ll come away with new insights, a fresh perspective, and an enlightened approach to your current work or new venture. After years of corporate assessments, team building, and other work style classifications, it was hard to imagine there would be anything left to learn about myself. Yet Lisa’s book shed new light on known motivations, and even managed to reveal new insights. Don’t just read through this book. Work with it. You’ll be glad you did. - Ellen DiResta, Product Strategy Advisor and Author
"Let Lisa Prior be your guide on the six-week journey to self-discovery and discernment. "Take Charge of Your View" is a small package with a big punch. Engaging, provocative, and encouraging, this book provides actionable steps that will challenge and empower you to make good career choices. Make this walk with Lisa to embrace "awe, humility, and hope" as you take in the VIEW. I will..." - Charles D. Allen, COL, US Army retired, Professor, Leadership and Cultural Studies, U.S. Army War College
"Take Charge of Your View is an accessible, user-friendly, step-by-step guide to create a vision for your career and turn it into action. Drawing from the latest research in positive psychology and neuroscience, it includes many exercises, templates, and opportunities to reflect and plan. Most importantly, it recognizes and acknowledges the emotional overwhelm that career planning often stirs up, and offers holistic strategies and techniques to move past the anxiety and move forward into a brighter future." - Susan R. Crandall, PhD, Director, Center for Social Policy, University of Massachusetts Boston
"This book is a gem that distills the essence of a career into four core career capabilities. It is very clear how the book is organized around these capabilities, and the basic model in the book is framed in a very lively, user-friendly and original way. Notions like having a vision for yourself, having self-insight, etc., really “stick” with the reader.
I also love the 60 day time frame. That is long enough for a person to accomplish things and feel successful, but short enough that it feels manageable.The writing is brilliant! Full of rich examples that bring the ideas to life. I know the author, and the book’s voice comes through as Lisa! This is a real strength of the book. Reading the book is sort of like listening to Lisa in an in-person meeting, which means that I am always feeling stimulated, engaged, and inspired. If you, or someone you love, or someone you coach has a career, you need this book!" - Tim Hall, Professor Emeritus Questrom School of Management, Boston University
