MORE AND MORE PEOPLE SAY THEIR WORK-LIFE IS STRESSFUL, UNMANAGEABLE AND OVERWHELMING. THE GOOD NEWS IS...THERE IS ANOTHER WAY!

In her newly released book, Meaningful Work...the Entrepreneurial Way, author Judee Regan of Winnipeg, encourages first things first. 'We need to become aware of whats happening in our lives, whats making us so miserable. Regan says, 'That is the only way we can begin to know what needs to be done so that effective change can occur.

Work does not have to be a trial. If you are searching for work that is meaningful and makes you feel alive, you have to make the effort. Making the effort requires clarity of intent. When you have a real intent you move. The vehicle to express you intent, power your movement and focus your effort is career management.

Regan provides the tools to help you search out work that will be satisfying and enjoyable, to embrace and understand where change fits into your plan and to keep you on track, so you will be ready when opportunity knocks...and it will.

In the final analysis, Regan observes that 'the really important part of taking this step is that you have to move. Moving indicates your commitment to change. You need to be willing to stop talking about it and just 'do it '.
