United Kingdom – After the bestselling release of ‘Winning Through Redundancy’, people around the world came to realise that Steve Preston is a true guru for those looking to make tangible change in their careers and lives. His latest release, ‘Winning Through Career Change’ is poised to be equally as ground-breaking; speaking directly to the millions of people who feel lost in their jobs and need inspiration to change their situation.

This new book is a practical and inspirational guide, providing readers with actionable and proven techniques to adjust their mind set and rapidly redesign their career to achieve the fulfilling life they’ve always dreamed of. In fact, they’ll be able to say goodbye to the “Monday Blues” for good!



Synopsis:

Are You at a Career Crossroads?

Winning Through Career Change is the definitive career change book inspired by encouragement and positive feedback received from many readers, clients and the publisher of my first book ‘Winning Through Redundancy’.  In the light of their experience and success, they were quick to see the value of broadening the concept beyond redundancy alone.  It became clear that the principles and process had proven to directly benefit anyone looking to make a winning career change and to move into more fulfilling and rewarding work. Winning Through Career Change is written from the perspective of people who want to make a conscious choice to change career but are unsure what to do next and how to make it happen.  

“Can you imagine how would it feel to wake up each Monday morning in the knowledge that you have an exciting and enjoyable week ahead, doing work you love? Wouldn’t that be just great?”



Most People Are Unfulfilled in Their Jobs

The sobering statistics of research consistently shows that 1 in 2 people feel they are in the ‘wrong job’ and 2 out of 3 are unfulfilled in their jobs. Therefore, millions of people are unhappy and in the ‘wrong job’ or career. We all know people like this, don’t we? They are forever bemoaning their lot, but never do anything about it or just accept that this is the way is has to be… after all, you don’t have to enjoy your job do you? Or do you?!



Maybe You Recognise These Feelings?

The reality is that only a small percentage of people ever take a ‘leap of faith’ and muster the courage, determination and conviction to take positive action to pursue a career change. You might think this is just a special or elite group of individuals, but the reality is there is nothing stopping you from joining them…. and I can show you how.



Change your thinking and you will change your life!

Backed with case study evidence, I will show you how you can change your thinking so you can learn that you do have CHOICE and that you can take control of your career and life – not just now, but for the rest of your working life.  Just think how good that would be.

I will be sharing some of my own career change journey. Many of my learning points, as well as some interesting and inspiring case studies, will show you how you can win through career change to navigate your way to a brighter future and redesign an exciting new career!



Practical Career and Life Management

A number of years ago I established that there is a definite process to achieve a successful career change. By reading this book you will transform your life if you are looking to change career. You will feel energized; develop a real sense of purpose and focus. People I work with tell me ‘that the clouds will lift’ giving you clarity, self-awareness and a target to aim for. You will be much better equipped to know what is important to you in your life and career moving forward, understand what you have to offer an employer or what you can offer as a business owner, to sell yourself effectively and above all know what it takes to make a successful career change or transition. Once you have developed this inner self-awareness you will be in a good position to take the learning and knowledge you have gained into your new career, whatever you decide to do.

Each successive Chapter of Winning Through Career Change directly corresponds to each respective Step of my unique and highly successful Career Navigation Cycle process. The book contains a wide range of practical, motivational exercises and tools as part of the process of helping you to achieve a successful outcome. My book aims to inspire you to get started on your voyage of self-discovery and ultimately ‘take the leap of faith’ to find a new fulfilling career or type of work that is just right for you.

To help you cross the finishing line and win through, I will be providing some ‘Winning Steers’ and ‘Pit Stops’.  These are periodic markers carefully placed throughout the book that have been designed to encourage you to take time out and momentarily stop to absorb what you have just read; to ‘refuel’ by considering the content and advice before getting back into gear and moving on. ‘Pit Stops’ are a necessary part of the strategy to win through.

Isn’t it reassuring to know that you, like me and the many case studies featured, will also come to ‘love Mondays’, enjoy the work you do and achieve a fulfilling life?

So, if you are: ….

Stuck in a rut, feeling unfulfilled

Unsure where your career is heading and feel ‘lost’

Not achieving or unaware of your true potential or purpose

Looking at making a career change but don’t know where to start

Considering starting your own business, but are hesitant and unsure what to do or how to begin

Returning to work after a career break and seeking a new career and life path

…. then you will realise that by now…. ‘Winning Through Career Change’ was written for you!

“Everything is based around my six-step Career Navigation Cycle, which has proven itself time and time again to help people who are unhappy in their jobs and careers to navigate their way to a bright new future, find work they love and lead fulfilling lives,” explains Preston. “I know how hard it can be to take that leap of faith from the “same old” to a career and life that’s new and exciting, so I share my own personal experiences and coaching wisdom with readers to make that leap a calculated and strategic process into a brighter future.”

Critics and fellow coaching greats have rushed out with rave reviews. Peter Thomson comments, “Career Change! Just the very words fill so many people with fear and doubt. Those worries can now be phrased in the past tense. With Steve Preston’s excellent new book: Winning Through Career Change - anyone can take control of their lives, their results, and their future.”

Brian Tracy adds, “Changing jobs for any reason can be the great turning point in your career and life. This excellent book shows you how to make the rest of your work life the best of your work life.”
