Welcome to a special section for Human Resources, Organizational Development & Coaches
Career satisfaction is one of keys to employee retention. As professionals you know that and in your own career have undoubtedly developed strategies and tools to help your employees and your mentees improve their skills so that they can grow and become even more valuable.
You are also likely aware that less than 10% of employees ever make a career plan. They trust you, their boss, the organization, and chance to guide their careers. Those are the classic career mistakes according to the 60 senior execs I interviewed, all of whom began their careers modestly. Not that you and supervisors can't help, of course you do, but to totally leave a multi-decade career to others is not a good plan.
So what has this book, this page and the tools available here got to do with you? Hopefully you might find an idea or two, a tool to add to your kit, or even a new resource to support your work with your employees.
My mission is simply pay it forward. I had so many Energy Industry, Fortune 1000 and US Government (24 years in uniform) mentors, I want to share what I have learned. There is no personal gain sought. All net proceeds are going to scholarships.

Potential Tools for HR/OD and Career Coaches to Enhance Employee Development Include:
1. The book itself--it not only has very practical career guidance, but it has exercises to encourage your employee readers to actually take action.
(Quantity purchase prices are available.)
2. The Career Assessment Guide and the Career Planning Guides are free (button on Home Page to view and download).
3. The over 30 webinars I provided for mid-career employees and the University of Minnesota Alumni Association were well received and can be available to you. They were based upon an earlier version of the book and they are being updated now. We can talk about what would work best for you. Perhaps a totally custom Zoom conversation is in order.
4. Videos are also under development. They highlight career challenges and offer specific solutions for each. These include topics based upon the the 7 Keys. Check out the keys on the Home and Book pages.
5. A career satisfaction focused website for all employees is also under development. Let's support career development creatively.
Let's talk via email or telephone about what your thoughts are. [email protected] will connect us.
