From the publisher

Untwist the question mark from your life to start living authentically

UNSTUCK offers a path forward for those who are "stuck"--despite the comfort, security, and what should feel like success. Do you feel disengaged from a life that looks good on paper? Do you feel like there must be something more? This is your guide to getting unstuck, breaking free of your comfortable cocoon, and discovering what you are meant to be. Through the story of George Johnson, a man in a position much like yourself, you'll learn how to shed the boredom, emptiness, and confusion so you can get on with your life. Whether you need a complete overhaul or just a jumpstart, you'll find the advice you need to start making it happen.

More than just a story, this book shifts your perspective to help you realistically plan a transition from the ordinary present to the extraordinary future; emotional support coupled with practical guidance helps you find your path, identify your destination, and begin your journey.

  • Re-think your purpose in life and discover your calling
  • Rediscover the truth about yourself and who you really want to be
  • Follow a clear formula for moving forward with authenticity
  • Break out of your comfort zone and feel fully alive

The fact that you've succeeded doesn't mean that you can never change; your dedication, commitment, and skills got you this far--imagine what they could do with a healthy dose of passion! You Unstuck re-acquaints you with your authentic self, helps you uncover your passion, and guides you toward your next big thing.

From the rear cover

Getting stuck is frustrating. Whether your truck is stuck in the mud or you're stuck in a job or relationship that isn't fulfilling you anymore, the predicament is real and the way out is rarely obvious to the person who is trapped. The answer wasn't clear to George Johnson, the fictitious bank president with a successful career, good salary, new car, and a loving family. Yes, he got mired down in his career and life, until he met a barista named Jim Clarke who showed him the formula for getting unstuck. In UNSTUCK, you follow the narrative of George's path to renewal and discover how to apply the transformational lessons he learned to your life.

Written by leadership and life development experts Dan Webster and Randy Gravitt, the successful authorial team behind Finding Your Way, this engaging parable fully explains the six phases we all go through during our careers in a universal way, regardless of your industry and position. From the excitement of working in your vocation and drawing a paycheck to developing your skills and contributing to the organization to eventually becoming . . . well, miserable. The insightful perspectives shared by the characters are completely relatable and demonstrate that becoming stuck isn't uncommon and certainly isn't hopeless. While you can prepare yourself for getting UNSTUCK in any of the earlier stages of your career, reaching the misery phase is essential for turning around your situation.

Only by recognizing what is truly blocking your happiness can you move forward. But how? After pushing through with hard work, many people learn they only become more stuck, which is why the dependable formula presented inside saves so many people from never advancing out of the misery stage--it provides tangible steps to gain traction. This endlessly useful resource will stay at your fingertips for its:

  • Easy-to-understand explanations of how we grow during our careers, both in our vocations and as people
  • Immediately actionable advice for uncovering the person you've grown into and how to align your authentic self with your daily work
  • Standalone Field Guide to help you create real traction in your life and work

Getting stuck isn't the end--it's actually the starting point to becoming UNSTUCK.
