When you’re working in the fast lane, it’s easy to keep your
eye trained on personal performance, profitable deals, and
every rung of the corporate ladder. But what happens when your climb to success leads to a dead
end? When the coveted office with the prime view and
corporate board access not only overpowers everything else
that’s meaningful—but sabotages your ability to target new
opportunities? There’s More to Life Than the Corner Office tells the story
of Patrick Mitchell, a young, up-and-coming dealmaker with
energy and ideas to burn. Patrick is powered by his desire
to stake a claim in his own corner office, until a fateful
encounter with business icon Al Crafton changes his life. With a remarkable blend of intelligence, creativity, and
patience, the older executive walks him through a set of
lessons that forces Patrick to examine his life, his failing
marriage, and his career choices—and to see new paths to
true fulfillment and unique business prospects. There’s More
to Life Than the Corner Office will show you how to: * Get back in the driver’s seat: Don’t let the status
quo direct your career path—only you can tap into the
opportunities that can lead to real growth
* Beware of target fixation: When all your energy is
focused on one goal, you can lose sight of obstacles that
can sabotage your success
* Embrace every opportunity: A balanced, well-rounded
life leads to a more objective world view, which can show
you new avenues of productivity you’d otherwise miss Packed with insightful wisdom and solid methodologies,
There’s More to Life Than the Corner Office will help you
plot your own path to spiritual, physical, mental, and
career success. Because when you begin the quest for true
fulfillment, you’ll be primed to make the most of every
moment, every encounter, and every opportunity that comes
your way.
