New Directions

Careers don’t just happen.
Our definition of career and how we approach the workplace have undergone a profound paradigm shift. In the modern economy, career transitions are common: Layoffs, changes in management, corporate downsizing, mergers, restructuring—even a difficult boss—can all lead to a new job or even a completely new line of work. What do you do when you have to find some new direction?

Managing a long career is hard work, but author James Ward offers a practical career toolbox, full of strategies for success at every career stage, including

• How to choose and plan your career path
• How to handle career transitions
• How to find a job
• How to succeed once you’re hired
• How to create a strategy for the future

​Ward turns his thirty years of professional coaching and HR experience, firsthand observations of a changing business landscape, into actionable career strategies. It’s critical that you be willing and able to transition into a new job—sometimes into a new career. New Directions provides the tools necessary to excel in today’s shifting professional world.
