Introduction

Hi, and thanks for joining me for The Complete Guide to Career Success, a course from Scribd Coach. Let’s get started.

It’s no secret that managing and succeeding in your career can be a challenge, even during ordinary times. For some folks, it can be the greatest source of stress in their day-to-day lives. And this is during ordinary times. Today, we live in a world in which the way we find and do work is changing dramatically.

In other words, you probably know that careers and the whole professional landscape can be confusing. Maybe you’re debating whether or not you should start looking for another job; and even if you can make that decision, you might not even know where to start.

To make matters even more confusing, the career guidance material available to you isn’t always very… let’s say, accessible. For many folks, it might be too much or too overwhelming to be helpful. Similarly, these resources may not capture the emotional and intellectual difficulty of enhancing your career anyway.

In this course, I’ll give you some helpful tools and advice for moving forward in your career, with a focus on how to decide if a new role is right for you and how to get started moving on in your career if that’s the right path for you. I’ll also explain how to build career resilience, explore your career options like a pro, enhance your enjoyment at work, and much more.

My goal for this course is to give any listeners, at any stage of their career and any age, the confidence and the know-how they need to fulfill their dreams at work and live their best lives.
