“Aimed at white collar workers in the middle years of their career paths, this text offers practical advice for achieving success in today's rapidly changing employment environment. Power describes an innovative approach to career management that focuses on the continual development of an individual's portfolio of skills.

“In a world of work where all the rules have changed, evolving concepts of career management are critical for any working person to grasp and a topic of constant debate amongst those few who watch the changes from the working professional's point of view. In this book Sally Power makes an intelligent, worthy and valuable contribution to a discussion that impacts your happiness.”–Martin Yate Certified Personnel Consultant Author of Knock 'em Dead 2006: The Ultimate Job Search Guide
“The Mid-Career Success Guide demands moving beyond denial and combative responses to workplace turbulence. Power's model pragmatically drives mid-careerists to adopt an 'added value' lens while respecting that free agency isn't for all. Precision-like insights about negotiating 'different deals' and intensifying one's career management help readers expand success strategies. Power's book is reality-based, well documented, and uniquely sensitive to mid-career transitions. In its pages, readers will find case examples, depth, and hope far exceeding any self-help book. A most timely work!”–Rich Feller Professor, Counseling and Career Development University Distinguished Teaching Scholar Colorado State University
“The Mid-Career Success Guide offers practical and insightful advice about how to advance your business career. Anyone interested in navigating through the world of business will benefit from reading it.”–Peter Cappelli George W. Taylor Professor of Management Director, Center for Human Resources
