Description

Fulfilled! Critical Choices – Work, Home, Life by William A. Schiemann, Ph.D., holds the key for every reader to figure out what they want most from life, both personally and professionally – and then stays focused in a consistent way to achieve their goals. The lessons in this book are based on Dr. Schiemann’s interviews with over 100 life-fulfilled people and additional research on generational differences, leading to conclusions about what will work best for Millennials and Baby Boomers alike.

This practical and clarifying guide teaches individuals to think about life fulfillment in a holistic fashion, using principles and tools that have been proven to work in business, organizational psychology, and for those who are most fulfilled in life today:

ACE: This acronym helps individuals think about their Alignment with life goals, the Capabilities needed to get there and how to make choices that bring continuous Engagement across work, family, hobbies and other vital parts of their lives.

Balanced Scorecard: How can people better balance the demands of many different stakeholders in their lives? How do they plan for balance across career, family, social, spiritual, educational, and even political needs and desires?

Life Mapping: incorporates the unique life goals, key success drivers, and ties those to actions individuals needs to take now in their lives. This type of thinking enables them to see both the short and long term, and to think about how to respond to contingencies as circumstances change.

Measurement: you can’t manage what you can’t measure. Readers are taught how to devise appropriate measures for their individual scorecard, and how to track success over time.

“Street Smarts:” Savvy, life-fulfilled people also have street smarts. They have learned the ‘art’ of becoming fulfilled—how to adjust to bumps in the road, how to overcome common setbacks, and the ten lessons that most often lead to fulfillment.

And much more!
