Scottsdale, AZ -- Mar 18, 2008 -- FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Amy Currie (512) 478-2028 ext. 211 SCOTTSDALE,
Ariz. – For many workers today, the cult hit Office Space is more
than a movie—it’s a true-to life depiction of reality in
the American workplace. According to LiveScience.com, Americans hate
their jobs more than ever during the past 20 years, with fewer than
half reporting job satisfaction. But whether dragging their feet to
the office every day or simply feeling uninspired in their jobs, the
fear of changing careers often overrides the unhappiness employees feel
in their current positions, especially during a possible recession. For Jim Manton, leadership coach and former business executive, conquering the fear of change and learning to embrace life’s transitions has become a way of life. After more than 20 years of experience as a business leader, Manton faced the sudden realization that he had never pursued a career with purpose or intent. He abandoned his pursuit of a CEO to create Manton Advisory Services, Inc., and today helps other business executives successfully transition in their lives and careers. Manton’s
new book, The Secret of Transitions: How to Move Effortlessly to Higher
Levels of Success (Robert D. Reed Publishers, March 2008), was inspired
by his personal journey of transition. Drawing on his time in the combat
zone of Vietnam, martial arts experience, as well as real-world stories
of those he coached, he hopes to help readers overcome fear of change
to achieve success. “The Secret of Transitions is about taking on major turning points in life, career and business, courageously and passionately,” says Manton, former president of Pinacor, Inc., a $5 billion technology distributor, and former COO of MicroAge, a Fortune 500 company. “So many employees and executives today are feeling stuck, but simply don’t know how to transition successfully to lead fulfilling lives. I want to show people how to convert fear of change into love of being the driver and agent of change in their career.” In
a user-friendly guide to tackling life and career transitions with true
vision, Manton melds a focus on mind, body and spirit with practical
business applications. From baby boomers seeking a second career, to
new college graduates entering the workforce, The Secret of Transitions
is a handbook for discovering purpose and executing life transitions
with ease. In
an interview, Manton can discuss topics such as: • How to lead a purpose-driven career • How to transition to success in life and in business • How to embrace change with courage and passion • How to conquer workplace personality clashes and other career hurdles Manton
leads retreats and off-sites for business owners and executives working
to transition their careers and businesses to even higher levels of
success. He recently led a weekend retreat for seventeen women owners
who were seeking renewed purpose and passion in their businesses and
personal lives Manton currently resides with his wife of 37 years in
Scottsdale, Ariz., where he enjoys all the outdoor activities the southwest
has to offer.
