Posted By: Dawn Dickson on June 19, 2007 Ojai, CA — Novus Publishing (www.novuspublishing.com) announces the release of our newest title in our Career and Leadership Series, Career By Design (a CD and Workbook) by Dr. Robin Denise Johnson . (Harvard University, Ph.D & Masters; Brown University, B.A., International Relations) Career By Design explores two of life’s fundamental questions: Who are you? and What do you want? After answering these questions using interests, skills, and values inventories, you will use three career development tools that enable you to: • Boost your productivity, • Enjoy your work more, • Get promoted and recognized for your contributions, • Develop people who work with/for you, and • Eliminate energy draining work activities! About the Author “As an African-American woman raised poor in the United States, there were so many invitations to pay attention to the hurts – past and present – associated with subordinate status. So in my own life I’ve had to work hard to be psychologically balanced. From personal experience I learned that all of us—each and every one of us—can become leaders if we set our intentions and dance our true dance. Indeed, despite (or maybe because of) the tumult of my upbringing, I managed to find a way to become a leader in my own life. I became student body president of my high school, graduated from Brown University, worked the fast track as a multilingual international financial professional and earned a master’s degree and doctorate from Harvard. I lead-teach in many ways in my life today – even when I am not the nominal-positional leader. I have lived the philosophy: “Right where you are, do what you can. Look for the places where you can say: ‘Yes! and make a positive difference. I have found a way to translate my personal experience into professional pursuits. I am very moved by the instances of everyday leadership that surround us, but are invisible even to the people making such significant differences in our world. So I’ve decided to contribute to making that work more visible, and simultaneously to encourage people who might not otherwise see their actual or potential leadership.” Career By Design is available for purchase at Amazon.com.
