It’s Never Too Late to Do What You Love
New Book by Leading Career Consultant Nancy Anderson
Is Ultimate Guide to Putting Passion Back Into Your Work and Getting
The Job of Your Dreams
As featured on
Good Morning America
“It’s never too late to do what you love, and midlife is the perfect time to
find the niche where you will succeed beyond your fondest hopes," says
career consultant Nancy Anderson in her inspiring new book, “Work With
Passion In Midlife And Beyond: Reach Your Full Potential & Make the Money
You Need.”
“Given the
volatile economy, rising costs of living, and likelihood that safety nets
like social security and savings may not cover expenses when you are older,
it is imperative that you start now to find the work that engages your heart
and soul,” Anderson writes in the introduction to her new book.
Anderson
takes midlife and beyond readers through a step-by-step process that helps
them understand who they are and what they value at this stage of life.
Using client stories as examples, she shows that finding the work that gives
meaning to the second act of life begins with accurate self-knowledge.
“Once you know what will make the best use of the strengths you’ve honed
over a lifetime of experience, success is inevitable,” she says.
Anderson is
an innovative career and life consultant and the author of the pioneering
career guide, “Work with Passion: How to Do What You Love for a Living”. A
Regents Scholar at the University of California, Riverside, Anderson
graduated magna cum laude in 1976 with a degree in English and political
science. Following graduation, she started a career guidance firm in San
Francisco with two partners, and in 1981 she started her own career
consulting practice. Today, she continues to enjoy helping her clients find
their perfect niche. Her website is
www.workwithpassion.com.
She will
field questions from audience members and her book will be available for
sale. For more information and reservations to this free event, contact the
