FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Are You A Lion, A Tin Man Or A Scarecrow? Learning How To Thrive In The Current Job Market

Are you contemplating a career change or aspiring to be personally and professionally more effective? But, did you realise it’s no longer just what you know, who you are that matters, and unlike 20 years ago when you could walk out of one job on Monday and start a new one by Tuesday, the job market is extremely competitive.
Now more than ever, employers value high quality staff who possess much more than just a good degree and an impressive CV.

Not only that but mass redundancies and a flood of talent onto the job market means employers can be more choosy.

That’s why Personal Development and Executive coach, Wendy-Dashwood Quick created an innovative coaching programme which helps individuals strengthen their personal foundation, and eliminate anything that couldbe getting in the way of their success. It applies 7 core success principles with a powerful metaphor based on characters from “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” to help career-minded professionals carve out a more meaningful career, take responsibility for their own stress management and remain confident against an onslaught of unrelenting change.

Wendy says, “I am sharing these principles because I believe we need to go back to basics and work with deeper and more meaningful values. Over the past few decades our expectations have gone up but the reality is that we aren’t as happy at work. We’re more stressed, disillusioned and we’re tolerating far more than we should do in our working lives.”

“All this had led many employees to feel very uncertain and stressed. Increasingly employees lack the courage to take on new challenges particularly those who’ve been in the same role for a number of years, or who have discovered that demand for their particular skills has dried up” says Wendy.

So where do you go from here and how do you start again?

Wendy has packaged her proven coaching system into a new book entitled, “Discover Yourself On The Yellow Brick Road: 7 Principles of Career Success” which will be available from mid-April 2009.

Wendy who is an executive coach and founder of Essex-based Resolution Coaching says, “This book is not necessarily just about getting your career on track, it also provides 7 principles that can have a profound effect in all areas of your life.”

She continues, “The best leaders, the best managers, the best sales men and women are those who invest some time

in self development . We live in a tough world which dictates that we adopt strategies to become mentally, physically and emotionally tougher in order to thrive.”

The book goes into detail on all 7 Principles of success and presents a powerful system in a novel, easy-to-use and
entertaining way.

If you are willing to follow the simple steps shared in this book, then you can forge a successful career, redefine your future whilst gaining personal satisfaction and peace of mind.
