Lynn Joseph (Author), PhD (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1, 2003

This is a recorded program of guided imagery (visualization) on two CD's that has been scientifically demonstrated to land laid-off or fired participants a new job in record time. Relaxing Celtic harp melodies by grammy-nominated Lisa Lynne add to the healing qualities of this recording.
In just six relaxing sessions of about 20 minutes each, you are gently guided through the transformational Job-Loss Recovery Programâ„¢ exercises to:
·Overcome job-search stress
·Transform job-loss grief to positive outlook and enthusiasm
·Improve interview and other job search performance by learning mental rehearsal secrets of top athletes and businesspeople
·Meet with your Future Self who already has the career of your dreams
·Boost your confidence and self-esteem
The career transition imagery that forms the core of this program was proven effective in a landmark study with laid-off managers, executives and professionals participating. Study results indicated that two months after listening to the six recorded sessions, 12% of the placebo control group participants had landed jobs compared to 62% of the career-transition imagery group participants.

About the Author

Lynn Joseph, PhD, Psychologist and Career and Life Transition Coach, was vice president of career and life transition programs with Parachute, Inc. Previously she was an executive search consultant and an executive at Fortune 100 companies Johnson & Johnson, and Abbott Laboratories. Her broad range of experience includes program development, sales management, corporate recruiting and training, and human resources. Dr. Joseph has been featured on hundreds of radio and TV programs nationally and was also profiled by Fortune Magazine for her effective and innovative job loss recovery program.
Dr. Joseph has studied the development and application of visualization (and guided imagery) technology for over twenty years, and personally employed many of the techniques to journey smoothly through her own career and life transitions. While pursuing her doctorate, developing an effective program to reduce the landing time of downsized employees became her mission, leading to scientific testing of the resultant career-transition visualization program.
The ensuing research was published in the prestigious Consulting Psychology Journal, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Psychological Association. The guided imagery-based job loss recovery program also received special recognition from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services.
The successful study protocol formed the basis of her acclaimed guided imagery program recording, The Job-Loss Recovery Program, and its companion workbook, The Job-Loss Recovery Guide: A Proven Program for Getting Back to Work--Fast! (New Harbinger Publications, June 2003).

If you're just plain uncomfortable with any kind of meditation or visualization, you should probably skip this and go to the target range, or bake five dozen rolled cookies, or clean out a stable, or break up some concrete with a sledgehammer (which the owner WANTS broken up, that is) to diffuse and/or defuse any negative feelings you have about losing your job. If you even really have any; we've all had "those" jobs, after all.

But if you do like guided meditation and visualization UNLESS the guiding voice is irritating, the tone is condescending, or the script is just plain ridiculous, this one is pretty decent. It's done by a thinking person who gives you credit for being a thinking person too. It's secular, yet doesn't conflict with most faiths (except the ones that can't be having with this sort of thing at all, in which case see above). It helped me let go and look forward after the abrupt financial implosion of the first company in a decade or so that I'd let myself become emotionally attached to. And that was very useful.
