5.0 out of 5 stars Great balance of idealism and practicality, December 25, 2004

Celeste W. - See all my reviews

This review is from: Choice Points: Navigate Your Career Using the Unique PaperRoom Process (Paperback)

As a writer on career issues, I have read dozens of career books; this is one of the very best. Author Sydney Rice distingushes herself from the hordes of career and life coaches in the world, many of whom, as a Web search will show, sell new-age snake oil with their unproven processes and their expensive tapes, seminars, and coaching contracts. A smart, experienced executive coach, Sydney, by contrast, offers a rare blend of idealism and practicality. Through a comprehensive but not overwhelming process, she shows the reader how all of one's life experiences can and should be used to make change and to reach one's full potential. It's especially inspiring for those making change at midlife, but it's applicable to any age. For more on her approach, see Sydney Rice's Web site at www.thepaperroom.com.
