Managing for Professional Success

Live your dream by making deliberate choices, not just responding to what life throws your way.

Marcia Wieder

Throughout the book, our message has been: Be prepared, ready, and accepting of change and of any unexpected, unanticipated opportunities. You have been given resources and tools to handle these situations with confidence and a belief in yourself. The underlying assumption is that complacency, “going with the flow,” and believing that your job is secure can be your downfall. In addition, life circumstance changes will alter your professional needs, interests, and goals.
