The elements of self-examination in this book are brought together in what's called the Vision-To-Action FrameworkTM, which crystallizes a picture of you. Then, you identify specific targets of interest that give depth and breadth to the number of opportunities you have identified. These targets are assessed from several points of view against your aspirations, goals, competencies and talents to ensure alignment and best fit. With this knowledge you can then more confidently select the specific targets of interest that make the most sense for you, knowing that you are working in alignment with your strengths and goals. Finally, you pull this work together in a Blueprint Action PlanTM, which allows you to see what it will take to begin to execute your plan.

With unemployment soaring to ten percent and jobs scarcer than ever, millions of Americans are faced with uncertain futures. But this period also offers unprecedented opportunities and hope. This book was many years in the making. It came out of many hours of conversation with a colleague who specializes in human performance. Over a period of time, we discussed how people make choices in their careers and personal lives when faced with job changes and life-changing circumstances. We discussed the usefulness of having a way of determining how to go about rationalizing the many choices. I had seen different things over the years and heard many people talk about the topic but had not seen an integrated, hands-on approach. I formulated some ideas that I thought would be useful for coaching purposes, drawing from years of business experience and settling on a few key tools. I revised the system and I know that it will offer help and hope to the people who read the book.
