5.0 out of 5 stars This book is an excellent tool for Human Resource managers at all levels
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2017

After forty years of managing not only myself, other people, and various operations, I realize that I needed this book earlier in my managerial career. This book would have prevented some of my critical managerial failures of helping people to realize their dreams. This book provides a personal and practical approach for taking control of your life and holding yourself accountable for fulfilling your dreams. It is a well grounded process that is a dynamic and refreshing approach for personal development and professional satisfaction. The Professional Identity analysis is spot on and a rock solid way to focus on and achieve your dreams. This book is an excellent tool for Human Resource managers at all levels. It is especially a “truth serum” to be taken daily for people managers who want to see their team members excel and develop to their full potential.

This book is also an excellent communication tool for a couple to plan their future together. My wife said, “Upon finishing the book, I am challenged to create the map that comes from my heart, just as demonstrated by this author!” We have recently retired from our corporate jobs, and are beginning a whole new life as of this year. We really appreciate the practical steps in the clearly defined order outlined in this book. We want to begin a career map at this point in our lives and see this tool aiding our path to nonprofit volunteer work.

Thanks so much Nurys for our new GPS tool!

Being a corporate professional myself, there are many principles that apply even to for-profit professionals.

Easy read on a not-so-easy subject. SMART goals have been around forever, and here the author has gracefully meshed their utility with Career Mapping. It seems so obvious in retrospect that I can't believe more people aren't doing it! Overall, I found this book to be a very useful guide. As someone who is quite purposeful in his career, this book has helped me to re-evaluate those things that I have been doing and the course my career is currently on in a much more nuanced and informed way.

This is a great book, it clearly maps out how to get everything you want from your career - and yes I mean to be happy and be financially successful at the same time. What I really liked were the 5 actionable steps - it's practical. It's do-able, and just having this information now I already feel better because with this book I know I can follow through!
