The future is happening faster than anyone who finished higher education twenty-plus years ago can imagine. Bob Dilenschneider has the right recipe for coping in an era of stunningly rapid change. This is an action-oriented and thought-provoking book.... It is required reading for anyone who wants to take charge of their career.

How to deal with something almost everyone facesage and a career crisis. The Critical 2nd Phase of Your Professional

Life tells us how to manage a sudden bump in our career paths and how to deal with the impact of aging on our careers. As usual, Bob Dilenschneiders sound judgment and sage advice has produced an outstanding book.

Martin Lipton, Esq.,
Watchell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz

The Critical 2nd Phase of Your Professional Life hits home on one of this years most pressing personal and societal changes: How we adapt both to a workplace in which we can expect to change jobs, perhaps even professions, with increasing frequency, and to a world in which the race to keep up with expanding knowledge will be both exciting and harrowing. Bob Dilenschneider addresses these core questions by relating a wonderful combination of ideas and individuals, creating a highly readable and important book.

Robert B. Zoellick, former President of the World Bank

Bob Dilenschneider has done with The Critical 2nd Phase of Your Professional Life what he has been able to do with his other books: make us think.... It will... touch in every reader that secret inner place that yearns to take a completely new career course or direction.

John Cook, former Senior Vice President, Nationwide

A provocative blueprint for those over 40 who have to retool to meet the challenge of drastic, non-linear changes. Laced with lively case studies, this book dissects the critical issue of the recycling and marketability of seasoned professionals and offers sound advice to turn shock into excitement, age into advantage, and change into opportunity. A compelling theme masterfully addressed for the twenty-first century.

Nestor Carbonell, Vice President, International Public Affairs, PepsiCo

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

A book is like a business: In the end, no matter how much time you spend working on it in the solitude of your room (or the confines of your computer screen), you cannot do it alone. Throughout this project, many people have helped me turn a concept into a book.

I interviewed many busy people who willingly shared their expertise with me. Among them are two of the hottest executive recruiters on earth:

Gerard R. Roche, chairman emeritus of the search firm Heidrick & Struggles International, Inc., and Hobson Brown, Jr., former president and CEO of Russell Reynolds Associates. They know pretty much everything there is to know about what it takes to get a good job these days, and their insights have been most helpful.

Economist Charles Kadlec has been generous with his time and thoughtful in his explanations. For a stimulating look ahead, be sure to read my interview with him on .

Once again I want to acknowledge Carol Kinsey Goman, PhD, an internationally recognized expert in change management and body language who has helped me clarify my thoughts on many occasions. (Check out her website at www.carolkinseygoman.com .)

Bill Mitchell, Tyler Mitchell, and Georgette Mosbacher, my authorities on image and style, have answered all my questions about fashion in the real world, where everybody wants to look good regardless of their age, their weight, or the size of their bank account. Theyve also helped me in my personal quest to avoid the fashion police, and I am beholden to them.

Everyone Ive dealt with at Kensington Publishing has been consistently supportive. For their assistance with this edition, I want to thank Michaela Hamilton, Vida Engstrand, Michelle Forde, Lauren Jernigan, Arthur Maisel, Alexandra Nicolajsen, Kristine Noble, and Steven Zacharius.
