THIS WEEK'S SPECIAL FEATURE

Do you want to grow your career -- to keep learning, do better, and be rewarded for it? You CAN!

But no one hands out recognition and advancement upon request, especially not in this time of corporate belt-tightening and layoffs. In this environment more than ever, you're going to have to go out and win the recognition and advancement opportunities that you deserve, using the mind and talents you're blessed with . . . and this book.

The author -- Laura Berman Fortgang -- is arguably the most successful career coach in the world. Here she takes every reader as a personal client, and leads you step-by-step from assessing your current work situation to understanding who and where you could be. More important, she shows you how to get there.

Along the way, she describes 11 potential obstacles to career success, and explains how you can avoid or overcome each one. Many of these obstacles will be all-too-familiar to those of us who've been out in the work world for a while. For instance . . .

• The "I'm stuck!" syndrome (particularly oppressive if you're in midcareer and feel bogged down in your job)
• The "hero" trap (your workload is overwhelming, but you keep struggling to handle it -- and meanwhile edge closer and closer to burnout)
• That "corporate treadmill" feeling (you're doing your job, nothing is really wrong, but nothing is really happening either)

In addition, from beginning to end, the author uses exercises, charts, and real-life stories drawn from her experience with other clients to guide you over hurdles like:

• "overqualified and underutilized" (I know I'm better than most of the people I work with. Why am I the last one to be chosen?)
• "banking on a miracle" (If this assignment comes through, I've got it made.)
• and "stuck in survival mode" (I'm doing everything I can. I guess this is as good as it gets.)

Order today, and you'll see why Ms. Fortgang has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, McCall's, Money and Entrepreneur magazines, and interviewed on the Today show, CNBC, and America's Talking. Her book's a winner . . . and it'll make you one too.
