Professional Careers by Design: A Handbook for the Bespoke Life

This book presents a uniquely straightforward yet deeply personal approach to designing a bespoke professional career, using methods that can be applied in any career situation, be it crisis, opportunity -- or both. During her 12-plus years as a professional executive coach and more than 30 years as a physician leader, Sharon Hull was always looking for a resource like "Personal Careers By Design"(TM). She never found it, so she decided to write it herself.

"Professional Careers by Design"(TM) provides a single, one-stop resource for professionals who want to craft a career that aligns with their personal and professional values -- today, tomorrow and over a lifetime. The key is the three-part model created to be approachable, useful, and adaptable for people at any career stage, from freshly out of training to preparing for one final encore. This book outlines Hull's signature approach and provides clear and structured content paired with interactive self-coaching tools, designed for use over a lifetime.
