We live in an evolving economic environment, one in which job security and career certainty are distant memories. At any moment, life can throw you a jolt--whether it's an opportunity or an obstacle--that causes a shift in thinking.
"Either way, when a jolt happens or a career trajectory flat lines, it's time for disruption," says Roopa Unnikrishnan, author of "THE CAREER CATAPULT."
Based on her personal story, Roopa details a five-discipline plan for personal success, guiding readers to disrupt the status-quo and make the leap toward true satisfaction in business and life.
This isn't a book about luck; it's a book about making the most of what the world throws at you.
There are circumstances in life that only a shock can free you from: the relationship that hasn't been going anywhere for far too long; the 20 extra pounds you put on when you quit smoking five years ago; the half-finished manuscript of your novel stuffed into the desk drawer; your dream of exotic travel stuffed into the other desk drawer.
When good intentions, willpower, or reminding yourself that "life is short" aren't enough to thrust you out of whatever stagnation or complacency you're in, you need a jolt. A jolt stops you in your tracks, turns you around, and pushes you in another direction, unnerving though it may be. It catapults you from where you are to some other place.
Jolts stop us in our tracks, but they can also provide the momentum to shift to new paths to success.
