Get the Book: Getting Passion Out of Your Profession

Getting Passion Out Of Your Profession: A recipe book to set yourself free from the inevitable boredom and frustration that we all experience at some point in our careers.

The ingredients come from inside you and what a pleasure it is to have Nina point out that you have everything within you to change how you feel, change your career trajectory, change your life.

If you are looking for a book that allows you to blame how you are feeling or the lack of impact you are having in your career on others, this isn’t the book for you!

If you are looking to be empowered and challenged, to really look at yourself and learn how to let go of poor habits and bad behaviour so you can get out of your own way on the road to success, then Nina has laid out the way forward for you.

I easily spend hundreds of dollars a year on books as a Human Resources Professional many I don’t get through, I picked up Getting Passion Out Of Your Profession and devoured it .

So go ahead and soak in every amusing story and anecdote, you will find along the way that you are learning about yourself and enabling yourself to once again, Get Passion Out Of Your Profession!

Nina thank you for the pragmatic approach to getting and staying passionate about our careers.”
