Career Change
“Our working identity is not a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered at the very core of our inner being. Rather, it is made up of many possibilities: some tangible and concrete, defined by the things we do, the company we keep, and the stories we tell about our work and lives.”
Working Identity

Value of Research and Networking
“Intense introspection poses the danger that a potential career planner will get stuck in the realm of daydreams.”
“We learn who we have been and who we might become –--in practice, not in theory—by testing fantasy and reality, through exploration and examination, not just by looking inside.”
- Herminia Ibarra

Finding a Job; Finding Faith
“……he surrendered himself to the slow heart work of seeking God one day at a time and one night at a time in the place where his eyes opened and shut…he got up and fell down, he got up and fell down, he got up over and over again.”
