Review of Fast Starting a Career of Consequence: Workbook
"Fast-Starting a Career of Consequence: Workbook" intricately weaves the bond between faith and career. Authored by Fred Sievert, a seasoned Christian writer and former president of New York Life Insurance Company, this workbook extends the insights from its companion book. It emphasizes the alignment of values, partnering with Jesus in the workplace, and regular prayer for guidance. The workbook integrates the Golden Rule (“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”) and ten proven fast-start tips, addressing the intricate balance between faith, family, and career. Each chapter includes sample prayers, concise summaries, key points, action steps, and cautionary notes—a comprehensive guide for monitoring progress and ensuring early career success.
Highlighting the difference between strategy and tactics, it underscores the importance of leveraging core competencies for sustainable competitive advantage. The author urges individuals to seek guidance through the Holy Spirit in daily challenges and apply Bible-based principles for enhanced workplace experiences. Encouraging the recognition and leverage of unique spiritual gifts, the workbook guides individuals toward sustained happiness and success in their careers. The book's appendix includes a spiritual assessment tailored for Christian business professionals by Darren Shearer.
I relished the insightful content of this book, finding it both informative and uniquely approachable in guiding one's career. The heartwarming message is conveyed with clarity and a seamless structure. Additionally, the professional editing is evident as I encountered no errors during my reading. It caters to a specific readership, delving into advice rooted in biblical and Christian values.
This workbook can empower readers to excel as high-potential employees, offering valuable insights for diverse situations, including entering the workforce, career transitions, post-COVID-19 re-entry, returning from child-rearing, military transitions, or ministry roles.
Filled with invaluable suggestions, the prayer resonates beautifully. The "Spiritual Gifts in the Workplace" assessment questionnaire, helping identify top spiritual gifts, proves highly beneficial.
There is nothing I dislike about this workbook, and I deeply admire Fred Sievert as an inspiring author. Without any reservations, I give this book a solid 5 out of 5 stars. It motivates aligning decisions with the guidance of God, fostering a harmonious integration of personal and professional life.
