January 28, 2013:
“Feeling stuck in a rut is such a common problem today that it seems to be an epidemic among career professionals.” So says Blue Pencil Institute president Dr. Laura Hills of her reason for writing her first Blue Pencil Career Success Monograph™, Climbing Out of a Rut. The work, released today, offers career professionals four steps and 101 secrets to supercharging their careers and finding greater fulfillment and reward in the work they do every day. According to Dr. Hills, the book is practical, how-to-do-it, and do-it-now in its approach to getting unstuck. “This isn’t a theoretical discussion. It’s the kick in the pants career professionals need to take action,” she says.
The four steps for getting unstuck offered in Climbing Out of a Rut are readjust your attitude, defibrillate your career, find meaning in what you do, and let others lift you higher. Each of these steps is then supported by 25 secrets (exercises and activities) career professionals can use to jolt them into taking action. An additional secret, #101, guides readers into making a commitment to living a rut-free life. Explains Dr. Hills, “Every career professional is unique so there isn’t a one-size-fits-all way to climb of a rut. That’s why I’ve created 101 different strategies. I believe that if only one works, the monograph will have been well worth it for every career professional who reads it.”
Climbing Out of a Rut includes hands-on exercises, self-assessment quizzes, and a summary action checklist. It also includes a free bonus feature entitled, “50 More Ways to Improve Yourself”, as well as Blue Pencil Institute’s Career Development Resources. According to Dr. Nido Qubein, president of High Point University and chairman of the Great Harvest Bread Company, “This motivational book will guide you through a personal and professional rebranding.”
