Do Everyone A Favor, Get A Job You Love It Really Isn’t About The Money

April 12, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Everyday, one million workers call in sick. A recent Gallup poll, found 77% of retail workers hated their jobs. Another survey found that 87% of Americans don't like their jobs. Since we often associate who we are with what we do, it’s a wonder anyone goes to work or gets anything done.

“It is estimated that $150 billion per year is spent/loss due to treatment for stress-related problems, absenteeism, reduced productivity and employee turnover. Why do we keep going to jobs we hate? Why don’t we find work we love?” asks consultant, success coach and speaker Kennette Reed, author of Discovering Your Passion: The Thing That Makes Your Heart Sing.

As a success coach and someone who discovered her work passion, Kennette Reed’s 25+ years of work experience has included jobs that weren’t always a good fit. After leaving her last job, she decided the time had come to find work she was passionate about. This decision began an introspective and retrospective search for work that best utilized her skills, talents, experience and interests.

“I spent a great deal of time searching through the cobwebs of my mind. When I finally found a common thread, and had an opportunity to work at what I thought was my passion, it was the most wonderful feeling I’d ever experienced. I felt as though my heart was singing,” says Reed. Discovering Your Passion: The Thing That Makes Your Heart Sing provides a passion discovery opportunity for everyone.

The assessments, thought-provoking questions and inspirational quotations are designed to move the workbook user from possibility thinking to action planning. The additional information listings allow for further research.
