Working Identity

Bestselling author Herminia Ibarra presents a model for career reinvention that flies in the face of everything we've learned from "career experts"—and is tailor-made for changing careers in today's uncertain world.

Successful reinvention comes not from deciphering and analyzing our past, but from inventing and testing our possible futures.
