Own Your Career: No One Else Will lays out steps to take for fruitful and rewarding career development.
Traverse City, Michigan—Author Paul Goudreault believes people deserve a career that allows them to explore new cultures, challenges the way they think, and provides the financial freedom to reinvent themselves. The second edition of Own Your Career: No One Else Will has been updated to include 100 Tidbits and lessons learned from Goudreault’s coaching and mentoring career.
In the ever-evolving workplace, taking charge of your own career is more important than ever. This book lays out a simple model called ADAPT—a five-stage career life cycle model. The book is the first of a two-book series, which will include A Career and Life You Deserve: A Career Life Partnering Model (summer 2025). Both books take the reader through several simple and key learning experiences to help shape their careers to support their desired life goals.
ADAPT
The ADAPT method, a simple model to help assess progress, challenges, and opportunities addresses:
Acquire – Learn How to Learn
Develop – Find What Works for You
Apply – Continue Your Journey
Produce – Be the Best You Can, Now!
Transition – Retire or Reinvent
“The book began as a helpful guide to my twenty-something-year-old kids,” Goudreault said, “and grew in scope to support people at any career stage.” The book is useful to the unemployed and underemployed, can help people prepare for the speed of change, helps build a commitment to self-improvement, and teaches readers how to take career development into their own hands.
A sampling of the 100 Tidbits featured throughout provides helpful information that includes:

Effectiveness Is Important
