I am thrilled to introduce author Kary Oberbrunner to you on this 1-year anniversary of the Read to Lead Podcast!
His latest book is Day Job to Dream Job: Practical Steps for Turning Your Passion into a Full-Time Gig.
Simply put, I loved it. If you’re dissatisfied with the current state of your career (and studies suggest that 86% of us are), then I believe you will love it too.
I especially appreciate that Kary doesn’t stop with simply telling you what you need to do. He goes so far as to lay out a 9-step plan for how you can accomplish it. And he’s no armchair quarterback. Kary himself moved from day job to dream job in early 2013.
