Why are 87% of people not engaged at work, according to a recent Gallup global report? Among the biggest reasons are lack of purpose, loss of focus and inability to handle setbacks. To survive and thrive in today’s volatile workplace, you’ll need to be mentally tougher than ever. Many self-development books seem to have all the answers. This is one book that asks all the right questions and guides you to find your own answers – like how a personal coach would.
- What would you choose to work as if you had to do it for free?
- What task on your to-do list actually gets you closer to your dreams?
- How would you write your acceptance speech when you succeed?
- What would Liam Neeson do?
These strategic questions will make you think. Some may make you smile. All of them will help you up your game, discover new perspectives, unlock hidden potential, get “unstuck” on a problem, even get that promotion or big job.
Certified executive coach and former award-winning C-suite executive Victor Ng draws on 20 years of corporate experience in one of the world’s most competitive industries to take you on a journey of personal discovery and professional empowerment.
Whether you’re a fresh school-leaver, ambitious young executive or seasoned corporate-world veteran, you’ll find the answers you’ve been seeking in this inspiring and indispensable self-coaching handbook
