Book Pick: The First 30 Days

Change (both those unanticipated and the ones we seek--like reinvention!) is stressful.   When you've finally made the decision to leave your old career, the first 30 days are pivotal.  What you do during that critical time period can determine whether you get stuck in a quagmire of doubt and despair, or move forward filled with energy and hope.

My good friend Ariane de Bonvoisin, change coach and CEO of The First 30 Days, has just written The First 30 Days: Your Guide to Any Change (and Loving Your Life More).  The definitive how-to guide for successfully navigating an initial transition through any life change, her book teaches you nine key principles that help you discover ways to develop a positive mind-set, combat your 'Change Demons', and build a network of support.

Ariane's book helps you not just with your career, but the whole spectrum of changes you might face in your life.  She has built an incredible community of change optimists and experts at First30Days.com, and is endorsed by top personal growth leaders including Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra and Marci Shimoff (from The Secret).  Check out her book and learn valuable tips that will help you manage change and reach your goals!
