In the course of Dr Chadwell’s private practice, working with adults on career and retirement issues, several clients who found her advice and assistance helpful suggested that she write a book offering her strategies to readers. During her busy career, she never found time to do this. When she retired, she decided that now was the time. While exploring North America in an RV with her husband, she balances her hobbies (jewelry-making, jigsaw puzzles, and reading) with her post-retirement career, writing books and articles and blogs (www.drchadwell.com) to pass on to readers the knowledge and strategies that she has acquired in her 30+ years of professional counseling and assessment.
“It's a difficult time to consider changing careers, and a lot more people are being forced to think about that option than perhaps ever before… Thankfully, psychologist Carrell Chadwell has created this workbook, boiling down the complex considerations into easy-to-understand exercises. Make no mistake, though – this is a workbook, and you're not going to get more than a sliver of its benefit by simply reading through it… Close the study door, disconnect the internet connection, turn off your phone, and focus on what Chadwell wants you to do – anything else will be a waste of time to the reader, and a disservice to the author.
“Readers of the groundbreaking What Color is Your Parachute will recognize some of the same wisdom here, but in a form far less intimidating than Parachute's many hundreds of pages… Far too many people are being forced to consider new careers as they are laid off, or their industries are folding up underneath them. Thank goodness Changing Careers in a Changing World is now available to walk us through this often overwhelming transition. “
