learn to achieve career contentment

“Employment and career explained like never before!”
Stop waiting on employers to make you satisfied and learn how to recognize your own career
contentment, and leverage it to have and enjoy the career you desire with or without job
satisfaction. These one-of-a-kind learning materials are based on the revolutionary new book, Career Contentment: Don’t Settle For Anything Less, published by the American Society for Training and Development (ASTD). They were designed to help you, your employees or coaching clients to connect with your callings and recognize your career contentment. From developing the employment mindset and demonstrating staffing etiquette, to managing career flow and recognizing contentment, you’ll learn how to have and enjoy a more fulfilling life and career despite the frustrations associated with finding a job or the dissatisfactions which are inevitable to every job, career and employer.

The Employment Mindset Guidebook

Incorporating the use of engaging stories and insightful learning exercises crafted by ASTD curriculum designers, this 140 page resource intentionally avoids discussing how to write resumes or cover letters and focuses instead on developing the contented mindset that brings these tools to life, and creates for the reader the advantages and serendipity that enables them to connect with their callings throughout their entire career. Rather than needing, wanting or worrying about finding a job, the reader learns how to purposefully think to inspire their contented emotions and use them to create the best impressions, connect with the jobs and careers they desire, avoid procrastination, prolonged searches, and the wrong jobs or careers. This resource takes the worry and misery out of looking for work or changing jobs and careers.

The learning exercises in this guidebook will teach you how to:

• Clarify and fulfill your career intentions and purposes
• Identify work most meaningful to you
• Overcome anxiety and inertia due to procrastination, uncertainty or fear
• Achieve higher levels of self-confidence and persuasion
• View challenges non-negatively and opportunistically
• Gain the acceptance and support of others throughout the employment process
• Demonstrate the unspoken and unwritten etiquette that creates for you the right “chemistry and
fit” with your future employer
• Enjoy the certainty that the job you’ve accepted helps to fulfill your calling and purpose.
