Take Charge: The Skills That Drive Professional Success

Do you want to become a successful lawyer, business manager or accountant? What you're learning in professional school isn't enough. It's just the basics. If you want to move ahead, there are all kinds of skills you need to learn that no one is teaching in an organized way. How to interview so you'll get hired, choosing the workplace most suited to you, how to be effective in communicating with clients and superiors, the secrets of service you need to master, how to set up a career plan and so much more. I've taken the secrets of my own success as a prominent entertainment attorney and law firm leader, and I've interviewed countless other professionals who've succeeded against all odds, to boil it down for you into an easy-to-read instructional book. This isn't another "how to" book written by a consultant who's never done it. This is practical advice from someone who has sat on both sides of the interview table, hired thousands of professionals, just like you, and helped them flourish.  “Whether you are in college or just starting your career, this book is a roadmap to turbo charge your career."   ­— Bill Carmody, TEDx Storyteller, Executive Coach and Bestselling Author of The Three Rules of Marriage “A thought-provoking, practical and insightful book loaded with ‘nuggets of gold’ to power your career forward.”  —Barry Beloff, President, Inspiratum Executive Coaching “Advice and insights on the dynamics of practice that should be part and parcel of a professional education.”  —Justice Lorne Sossin, former Dean, Osgoode Hall Law School
