Story Behind The Book

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.
