Becoming over specialized in your field and changing careers at 40 don't go well together thats what I thought until I read this book. It invites you to an inner journey of self-discovery, of finding out your own strengths, and reevaluating and reclaiming the best version of yourself. Relying on her own journey in changing careers and her extensive experience in coaching hundreds of people in their own career search, Gabriela guides you step by step throughout her book, opening a door to unlimited possibilities and your dream job .

Apart from its professional comprehensiveness, what stood out for me while reading this book was a sense of being thoroughly nurtured and propped along.

This practical and inspirational book is full of great advice, tools and real-life examples, all presented in an interactive style, which I really like. It takes my job searching thoughts and processes to a new level! It also presents many ways in which one can tap into the hidden job market, which is something I really wanted to learn more about. The concepts of The Wheel of Life and The Wheel of Job Search were new and very meaningful concepts to me. This book makes me feel strong and empowered in my search for the next step in my career !

Taken to heart, it will open your eyes to how you can create new opportunities by changing your own approach, and aligning it with the strengths of what it means to be introverted.

A breakthrough book for struggling introverts! I've never thought that my introvert qualities could be considered strengths (especially during a job interview). And I didnt realize either how much my mindset can affect my performance. Well written book with a great balance between theory and practice .
