    About this ebook

    Imagine that it’s ten years from today, and you’re doing the same thing in your career that you are right now. Would this news make you happy, or would you be disappointed? We all find ourselves in a career rut sometimes — and while we’re in it, it can seem like there’s no way out.

    But there is — just ask professional development coach Beth Ridley. In Start with Your Spark, Ridley offers a new framework for dealing with career ruts. It begins with finding your “spark,” or the unique, intrinsic motivators that move us to work. Once you’ve identified your spark, Ridley explains how to envision a new future without fear and chart your path by taking on various “bets” — or risks — to advance in your career. Along the way, she offers exercises to help you start applying what you’ve learned right away.

    If you’re interested in taking the next step to your dream career but unsure where to start, Start with Your Spark could be just the road map you need.

      Introduction

      Hello, and welcome to Start With Your Spark: Creating a Career That Inspires You, a course from Scribd Coach. I’m Beth Ridley, and I’ll be your guide through this journey on discovering the best and most fulfilling career path for you.

      Imagine your life ten years from now. If you’re still doing the same thing in your career as you are right now, would you be happy? Or would you be disappointed?

      I know how it feels to be in a career rut. After I received my MBA and became a senior leader in Fortune 500 companies for 12 years, I felt stagnant. I was working in a leadership role and expected to stay the course and go for the next promotion, but I wasn’t sure that’s what I wanted anymore. My peers were climbing the ladder, and I felt like I should too, but I knew that I would be disappointed in ten years if I
