Red Cape Rescue: Save Your Career Without Leaving Your Job

THINKING OF LEAVING YOUR JOB? Read this book before you decide. When hard things happen in our fast-moving careers, conventional wisdom offers options like:

• A) go find a new job (exhausting and complex) or

• D) Staying where we are, being told to "be grateful you have a job," (soul-sucking and demeaning, impacting our mental health, physical well-being, and our overall quality of life.)

Let's stop falling for old-fashioned ideas and instead see the new ways to make better career decisions about what's next for you -without resorting to the drastic measures of changing careers, finding a new job, starting a business, or bowing to an early and unwanted retirement-and without settling or sacrificing your health, family life, and well-being.
