Rewrite Your Career. Reimagine Your Life.

In times of disruption, adapting isn't optional. It's essential. Midlife career shifts, technology changes, and a little ageism make career transitions more complex than ever. Navigation requires more than just logic or grit. It requires creativity.

Don't compete with machines. Being human is your greatest strength.

Second Draft introduces Creative Intelligence (CQ), the powerful combination of creative thinking, emotional intelligence (EQ), and strategic action. While EQ may be the skill everyone knows is crucial (but no one enjoys learning), CQ makes it intuitive. By enhancing your CQ, you'll tap into your creativity and grow your EQ naturally, helping you navigate disruption, build confidence, and tackle change with confidence.

Through stories and exercises, this practical guide equips future-focused professionals with the tools to rewrite their careers and navigate life's complexities with purpose. Pivoting to a new field? Planning an encore career? Rediscovering your passion? Second Draft will help you transform challenges into opportunities.

Inside, you'll discover how to:

• Harness emotions to fuel creativity and momentum.
• Turn ideas into impactful actions with proven strategies.
• Reframe fear, frustration, and boredom as opportunities for growth.
• Customize your approach to leverage your natural thinking style.

For those in their 40s-60s and beyond, Second Draft is essential reading for anyone ready to move beyond outdated scripts and draft a career and life on your terms.
