Book Description

October 6, 2005
Whether initiated of your own free will or thrust upon you, change is something that visits us all. With change often comes fear of the unknown, doubt about our ability to adapt, and, inevitably, some form of resistance. Nevertheless, these obstacles can be overcome by following author Nicholas Andrew Depew’s step-by-step advice on topics such as the following:
  • Knowing when to say when
  • Formulating an exit/transition strategy
  • Overcoming resistance
  • Seeing through the uncertainty
  • Avoiding pitfalls
  • Leaving a positive legacy
  • Taking your experiences with you

These issues are particularly true for those who face transitions of a work-related nature. Whether you are looking for a new job, taking on a new position within your current organization, or beginning the evaluation process of fulfilling a personal dream, there are practical ways in which to carry out your specific transition without unprofessionally severing ties in the process.

Character in Transition: A Guide to Not Burning the Bridge will challenge you to approach the subject of change and the idea of transition from an uncommon point of view. It will ask you to question the norm and expected everyday standards while inviting you to strive for more out of life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ever planning on changing you course in life?, November 4, 2005
This review is from: Character In Transition: A Guide to Not Burning the Bridge (Paperback)
Two words; Buy this book! Seriously. If you ever plan on changing jobs, careers, or leaving an organization, club, or whatever, this book will show you how to do it the right way. If you want to get a new direction on life, this book walks you through how to do it, without tearing up your relationships.

It contains volumes of self-help and reference, including form letters, step by step methods to go through your last weeks of work, and a whole lot more than that.

My only problem with the book was that it seemed too short and too simple to actually work, but seriously, it's awesome. Two thumbs up to Mr. N. Depew.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it; tried it. It works., November 7, 2005
This review is from: Character In Transition: A Guide to Not Burning the Bridge (Paperback)
I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to read this book before it became widely available. All I can say is that it really works. The points are easy to understand and easy to apply.

I put the principles that the book outlines into practice when I was leaving a previous job. The result - things went quite smoothly and I still have a good relationship with my old organization and coworkers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works even if you are not leaving a job or getting a promotion., November 7, 2005
By 
Anne (Klamath Falls, Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Character In Transition: A Guide to Not Burning the Bridge (Paperback)
The book's set-up mainly shows someone how to leave their job the right way and how not to burn your bridges in the process. Nevertheless, there is a lot of good advice in there for anyone going through almost any kind of change. It really gave me something to think about as I was considering moving to another city.
