Boost Your Career (Book)

bookcover-copy

You’re smart. You’re accomplished. And you’re stuck…

In my 13 years of working as a professional communicator in both the public and private sectors and three years working as a coach for the industry I’ve found there is an unspoken truth amongst the people I’ve worked with.

Many of the most savvy, successful professionals have a nagging sense that something is missing.

They’ve tried to figure it out on their own. They’ve made changes, listened to 360° feedback, been back to university and taken more courses, they’ve even tried new approaches in the hope of breaking through the career barrier. But the feeling of being stuck or off course only grows stronger.

If you can relate to that at all, then you too have likely built your success on the so-called right way. You’ve played by the rules, got good grades at school, gone to uni or college, secured an entry level job and gotten results and learnt a hell of a lot.

To others you appear successful. But the truth is you have worked hard to get where you are and now you’ve hit a plateau and you can’t seem to break through the career barrier.

You know you are ready for the next level of success – the level where you feel inspired and on purpose – where you’re making a real impact, being recognised as a leader in your field and enjoying the lifestyle you desire.

There is no time like the present time to take the action steps needed to Boost Your Career!

I am proud to announce the publishing of my first book and Home Study Course Boost Your Career.

Boost Your Career is a practical guide to help people, particularly those in the growing field of media and communications, to fast track their careers.

With the help of seven experts in the field, including NSW Minister for the Hunter Jodi McKay, I share my secrets to achieving career success on your own terms.

Now a coach, trainer, author and speaker, roles in my own career have ranged from public relations manager at John Hunter Hospital to the director of communications at WorkCover NSW, their youngest female director ever!

Since establishing my company, Leading Value, in 2005, I am pleased to say I have quickly become the leading practitioner in leadership, communication, career development and business building in the communication, media and creative industries on the east coast of Australia. In the past year my coaching practice has also grown to include clients throughout Australia as well as internationally in Hong Kong, New Zealand and the USA.

‘Heidi has a wealth of knowledge and experience in coaching people to achieve their highest goals and ambitions. She provides unprecented wisdom and guidance that enable you to fulfill your career aspirations that you may never believe are possible. Heidi helps you realize that you really can achieve anything.’
Melissa Histon, Photograper www.livingdoll.net.au

‘Reading this book, and completing the actions at the end of each chapter will help you articulate what you are good at, what you want from your career and how to achieve it.’
Sarah Beames, Writer

‘Boost Your Career’ is practical, passionate and positive. Based on real-life experiences of successful media practitioners, Heidi Alexandra Pollard incorporates constructive and inspiring strategies for those who want to break into this competitive industry. It’s a great short-cut guide.
Jennifer Fleming, author, broadcaster, media trainer www.jenfleming.com

‘The biggest benefit of coaching for me has been learning the benefits of introspection, making decisions about what I want my future career to look like and taking steps to achieving that vision. Working with Heidi was an incredibly valuable experience. Her insight and encouragement have made a remarkable difference in my career and empowered me to make decisions and take action to achieve my goals.’
Linley Davis CSIRO

Like me, the experts in Boost Your Career believe they are the creators of their life. They also share the traits of ‘determination, passion for communicating and connecting with people and commitment to lifelong learning.’

Great communicators don’t get to the top because they are perfect and flawless, they get to the top because they know their values, strengths and ethics and they stick to them and build on them with gritty determination. How committed are you?

While the book and Home Study Course are aimed at professional communicators and communications graduates, it could also be helpful to other graduates and professionals in other knowledge industries wanting to take their career to the next level.

Former 1233 ABC Radio presenter and best-selling author, Jennifer Fleming said in a foreward to the book says that ‘Boost Your Career is practical, passionate and positive. Heidi incorporates constructive and inspiring strategies for those who want to break into this competitive industry.’

If you are ready to:

Step into a bigger vision of who you are and what you are capable of accomplishing
Achieve success on your terms
Develop a new and improved career plan
Dig deeper to find yourself, your strengths and advance your career

…then Boost Your Career the book and Home Study Course is just what you are looking for. Until you stop holding back and setting practical goals you’re going to stay stuck, uninspired and chasing your tail trying to get ahead.

It’s time to clear away the clutter, fear and doubt and let your personal strengths and bigger vision guide you out of the rut. If you’re ready to take action then fill in your details on the next page to download the first chapter of the book Boost Your Career for free.

Yours in prosperity, passion and purpose
