5 Things You Should Know About Your Mid-Career GPS: Four Steps to Figuring Out What's Next
1. Many people think they need to be
better at their next interview or learn how to control their nerves and not be
nervous. While that is true, many people fail to get good at learning how to tell
their story from a place of value and service. When you know your career story
and how you can help an organization, you SHOW UP much differently for your
next interview. Building Your Mid-Career GPS will help you crush your next interview.
2. There are four steps to building
Your Mid-Career GPS. They are: preparation, positioning yourself strategically
in the marketplace, promoting who you are and what you do, and learning how you
SHOW UP.
3. An entire chapter is devoted to
what it means to SHOW UP and is an extension of the #SHOWUP6Strategies John
discussed in his first book, “SHOW UP – Six Strategies to Lead a More Energetic
and Impactful Career.” Throughout his life and career, John knows that how we SHOW
UP matters. John provides you with in-depth examples and context to help you
demonstrate these strategies: Set Ground Rules, Have Intentional Conversations,
Own Where You Are, Welcome New Opportunities, Use Your Genius, Protect and Promote
Your Brand.
4. There are 37 journal and
reflection questions contained in this book to help you build Your Mid-Career
GPS. Plus, you can download those questions and other free resources to complement
the book at https://johnneral.com.
5. Our career paths are messy. It’s
not unusual to get a degree and then decide you want to do something different.
You are not defined by your degree. As an executive and career transition coach,
John Neral shares similar strategies and techniques he uses with his clients in
this book to help you navigate toward whatever is next for your career.

“I picked up this latest book after enjoying John Neral’s previous book, SHOW UP – Six Strategies to Lead a More Energetic and Impactful Career. In Your Mid-Career GPS, John Neral provides clear, actionable steps to put his six strategies into play quickly and effectively. I really enjoyed his conversational writing style as well. As a mid-career professional, I love that my cohort is the focus of his attention and expertise. He demonstrates throughout the book that he knows the benefits mid-career professionals bring to an organization and his thoughtful observations and exercises will help anyone define their professional value and market not only their skills but themselves. Reading and employing the strategies in this book can position you to be a more valuable resource to your current employer or challenge you to spread your wings and find your next, great career opportunity. The underlying message is one of empowerment and encouragement and that’s a message everyone can benefit from.”–Victoria A. Bourgeois
