More Than a Living: What Corporate Insiders Do to Achieve Career Growth, Leadership, and Purpose (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798886360813)

Most career advice sounds good-and falls flat. In More Than a Living: What Corporate Insiders Do to Achieve Career Growth, Leadership, and Purpose, Kate Shattuck pulls back the curtain on what truly drives growth, credibility, and fulfillment in modern work. From taking radical ownership of your career to mastering storytelling, corporate habits and gratitude, you'll learn how to build a career-and a life-that matters.

This book

• tackles the massive problem of figuring out what you want to do, maybe not for the rest of your life, but for better and for now
• offers specific advice on some of the skills you should acquire to help you gain traction and move ahead in your career journey
• provides perspectives and examples for building a life large enough for you, for those you love and those you lead-whether at home, at work, or as a volunteer

As an award-winning, nationally known executive and executive recruiter, blending candor, humor, and hard-earned lessons from the boardroom to the break room, Kate challenges the myths we've been told about careers and provides sound advice on how to not only survive, but to thrive by finding a job and a career that gives us a little joy.

Expect to laugh, nod, and maybe cringe a little as you recognize yourself in these stories of missteps, breakthroughs, and leadership done right. Because real success isn't about climbing faster-it's about taking control of your career, developing specific skills, leading with purpose, and staying human while you do it.
