Unbelievable Source of Strength for Career Growth!!
This book is simply incredible! I have read many self-help books over the years, and having been in the business world for all of those years, I have never seen both areas (self-help and career) integrated so well in one place. In "The Authentic Career" I was able to unlock how my career goals and personal needs could be aligned and fulfilled with the appropriate insights into my life. This book can really help individuals create the space to achieve this. Ms. Craddock's own experiences and using real examples of workplace issues were extremely helpful and enlightening. I could approach my job and career in a completely different light after reading and utilizing this book. The exercises were truly eye opening and I finally have found a process that makes sense for re-energizing and strategizing my career after many years. A great read for anyone who wants to find a new way to grow in their career and personal lives. Very helpful and inspirational!

Zen and the Art of Professional Coaching
Ms. Craddock does a brilliant job of taking us through the often painful process of finding ourselves and then bringing the best of ourselves to the workplace. The Authentic Career is about finding and living the authentic self. It brings us back to the things we might have once been told by a well-meaning friend or a self-help lecture; it makes real and fleshes out exactly what we need to do to work through core issues of our identity and find our "true bliss" in the workplace.
What better person than Ms. Craddock to show us the way. She went from making million dollar business deals to working with mental patients to try to find her bliss and to bring the fruits of her labors to us, in a very readable,
usable form. I have benefitted greatly from reading this book!

The path well taken.
Self Discovery hasn't had a more sane or sensible voice.
One is so easily and kindly guided through the four step
program that it is hard to consider any other method for
effecting such profound insights into one's personal and
professional life. The exercises remarkably build structure
and confidence and give evidence to the underlying feeling
one gets throughout the book that the author thoroughly
understands the process of self-realization. A benchmark book.
