Book: NAVIGATING CAREER FULFILLMENT IN A COMPLEX WORLD

Avoid The Traps And Learn The Strategies To Reach One’s Goals

The journey to an ideal career is not a straight line, but one full of twists and turns. The complexities of these times and the scramble to come to terms with them are almost overwhelming.  More than ever people want their work to be fulfilling and count for something.  But how does one go about this without a playbook.  Career strategist and executive coach Merideth Mehlberg, MMC provides a clear roadmap in her new book, YOUR FINEST WORK: Career Fulfillment In A Complicated World.

A Master Certified Coach, Mehlberg, CEO of Merideth Mehlberg Group, draws on nearly twenty years of working with emerging and established executives in Fortune 100 companies, startups, and nonprofits, to transform careers and lives. Using a practical and heart-based approach, she guides readers in their desired direction, regardless of whether they are growing in place or making a job or career change. “I have taken what I have learned on my journey, cut through the complexity, and crystallized it into an easy-to-read primer that will help you realize your full potential and do your finest work,” she says.

The key to becoming the intentional architect of one’s career is making the decision to take charge. Regardless of the circumstances, people can make the decision right now to take the reins of their careers and turn them in the direction of their choosing. Whether growing in place, making a job change, or launching a career pivot, the aim is to increase one’s sense of control – taking responsibility for one’s professional life and being in charge of where one is headed.

YOUR FINEST WORK delves into the major traps that prevent people from reaching their goals, and the strategies, practices, and tactics that will allow them to avoid or defeat these obstacles.

 

People are trapped when they:

· Are asleep at the wheel

· Focus on everyone else’s agenda but their own

· Run on empty

· Fixate on doing things right

· Have a transactional focus

· Try to do it all themselves

· Don’t tell a compelling career story 

They thrive when they: 

· Become an intentional architect

· Define their North Star

· Fill their tank

· Take imperfect action

· Fine-tune their powers of perception

· Broaden their base of support 

· Sharpen their professional narrative

Mehlberg also introduces CLEAR, a decision-making process to guide readers through refining a career trajectory, preparing for an important presentation, or anything in between.
