"Career Roadmap is spot-on from the context of all of the steps that were outlined. In fact, your processes and flow align perfectly to my outline for my upcoming training in this area. I've found that since reviewing Career Roadmap and receiving the community work plan, the very things I planned to include as part of my training were included, so I feel confident in volunteering to lead that effort. Career Roadmap was my validation and confirmation that I'm on the right track in continuing to help others in the city of Cleveland."

ï»ï»"Career Roadmap is an important book that will help many people not only find a way out of an unsatisfying work environment but also help them find a path forward that better utilizes their unique strengths and capabilities. As a senior executive who has worked with too many people in too many companies who come to work each day with a sense of dread or being at a dead end, this book provides not only a way out but a path forward to a more satisfying career. Dr. Oliver doesn't promise magic. You have to do the work. But she provides a concrete, step by step process to help put you on the path to a better and more rewarding life."
