The ReFirement® Workbook Assists in Making Life Changes
- Book encourages individuals to make life and work transitions by “reFiring” -
Minneapolis, Minn. – May 24, 2004 – Personnel Decisions International (PDI), a global talent management consulting firm, announced today the release of The ReFirement® Workbook. PDI consultants co-authored the book along with James Gambone, Erica Whittlinger, and Debby Magnuson of The ReFirement® Group, a consulting firm that helps individuals and organizations discover the best in themselves. The ReFirement® Workbook provides a powerful set of insights, real-life examples, and exercises to help individuals take positive steps in their career, finances, relationships, health, and spirituality.
“The workbook is based on the concept of ‘reFiring,’ that is, igniting your passions. It offers an inspirational platform for engaging with your life and taking action,” said Pat Berg, General Manager of Career Management Services at PDI. Specifically, readers can use the book to create smoother work-related or personal transitions, focusing on chapters relevant to their needs.
Said co-author Erica Whittlinger, “Those using The ReFirement® Workbook will find helpful exercises to identify and make life changes. For example, someone wanting to discover what excites them might take the Joy Quotient quiz. Those contemplating a career move might consider identifying their learning style or brainstorming to define their ideal job.”
Added co-author James Gambone, “Once people become more intentional about their plans and desires, they can make transitions and changes more easily. We’ve taken a holistic approach with the workbook to make it a far reaching, yet fun way to self discover.”
The ReFirement Workbook® is published by Personnel Decisions International and is available for immediate purchase at www.personneldecisions.com, www.refirement.com and www.amazon.com.
