You Have a Choice: Beyond Hard Work to Meaningful Impact

Book Synopsis: "You start showing up as an adult when you take responsibility for your own freedom. This book is a resource to help build the insight and courage to make the braver choice." -Michael Bungay Stanier, best-selling author of The Coaching Habit—A transformational framework to help you redefine success when working harder isn’t working.

You're a high achiever on a successful career path—but something's missing. You have what many would consider to be a dream job, but you're feeling burned out and miserable—working from the crack of dawn to midnight every day, drowning in emails and meetings. You're working hard, but it lacks meaning. You know something must change, but you feel stuck. How do you make a change without losing everything you worked for?

You have a choice.

Written by a former Google leader who redesigned his life to align with his values after burning out, this book will provide you with the tools you need to find a new path with purpose—one where you define what success means to you.
In its pages, you will learn how to:

• Clearly define how you want your life to be different.
• Identify the reasons you're feeling stuck and what you can do about it.
• Learn how to more effectively influence others around you.
• Experiment with new possibilities to create professional growth and personal transformation.
• Discover what energizes you, and use that to guide you towards a more intentional, fulfilling, and sustainable life.

Complete with actionable exercises and inspiring stories collected from the author's own experience and years of coaching successful leaders and executives, this book will help you make new choices that move you beyond just hard work to a life of meaning and purpose.
