“Our work should be a manifestation of who we are and what we believe.”

Wanting more from work than just a paycheck or a title. Wishing to integrate personal and spiritual beliefs into one’s working world. Being ready to manifest a work life rooted in joy, purpose and contentment. These are core desires felt by professionals, though they often lack a roadmap.

In her book Working Whole, career expert Kourtney Whitehead offers a practical guide to align your work pursuits with your truest desires. She shares eight principles that will free professionals to be inspired and joyful in their life and work callings. She advises that when we commit to living our beliefs in these eight core areas (humility, surrender, discipline, gratitude, connection, love, power and patience), we can work authentically and live fulfilled.

Drawn from her career as a recruiter, counselor and coach and her work with everyone from new hires to seasoned executives in transition to high-achievers determining what retirement can mean for them, Kourtney shares tips and tools for handling the expectations, choices, conflicts, challenges and opportunities we face in our work life. She leads readers through a transformative experience to become more creative, energized, observant, accepting of change and open-hearted.

With a warm tone and featuring informative content, exploratory and journaling exercises and actionable suggestions throughout, Working Whole provides a clear framework for making life and career decisions, both big and small, allowing readers to reach their highest potential and live their most fulfilled life.
