Ordinary to Extraordinary - by Pattie Dale Tye (Hardcover)

About the Book

Meet Your New Career Expert Who Will Lead You to Professional Success and Fulfillment at Every Stage!

Pursuing an extraordinary career is one of the best things you will ever do for yourself. It will bring you joy, friends, wisdom, treasures, stories, travels--and for author Pattie Dale Tye, a spouse. It will give you freedom and superpowers (to be used for good, not evil). You'll be able to change lives--not just your own but legions of others. It will make you cry, wince, shout, curse, and miss vacations or family events. But in the end, it will be one of the best parts of your precious life.

Having a successful career--success means different things to different people--will enable you to live the life you want to live and to give back and help others all along the way.

Too often, people have the mentality of "My job is nine to five." Or, "I can't wait for the end of the week and to end my thirty-year career so that I can move on with life." But if you have the right perspective, your career--no matter what direction it takes or how many roles and titles it includes--can give you meaning and purpose, allowing you to use your gifts and talents in extraordinary ways. Tye's goal is to show you the treasure you are holding.

If you are at the start of your career, the world is your oyster, as the saying goes. For those reentering the workforce, Tye helps you remember what you've learned in the past and then reimagine your career using the skills and experience that will set you up for success. And for those who are in the third stage of your careers, the world needs your skills, wisdom, and experiences!
