Happy New Career! (Strength Training with Marcus Buckingham)

Are you unhappy in your job? Thinking about changing careers in the New Year? Laid off and ready for a new direction?

Oprah and Marcus Buckingham (Now Discover Your Strengths) have teamed up to give you a gift: a free self study workshop facilitated by Career Coach Marcus Buckingham.

Using his “strengths training” approach, Marcus advises us to stop spending so much time trying to fix our weaknesses. Instead, focus on what makes you special and unique. “A strength is an activity that makes you feel strong,” he says. “If you want to know what your strength is, you’ve got to pay attention to how you feel. It feels like focus. It feels like concentration. You feel invigorated. Energized.”.

Check out the workshop on the Oprah.com site.
