A great career isn’t about having it all, according to Maggie Craddock, a coach for Fortune 500 companies.

“It’s about having enough of what’s authentically meaningful for the balance of your work and your life to nourish you,” says Craddock.
“It’s about focusing on what matters most, letting go of what you no longer need (including limiting ideas) and working with others effectively. You can have a good career if you’re smart, but you will only have a great career if you’re brave.”

Craddock is available for immediate phone and remote video interviews, expert commentary, and contributed articles on why a great career
isn’t about having it all and can discuss:

* Developing confidence in your own decision-making process – particularly under pressure
* Understanding the role that your family system may have played in shaping your early career choices
* Rediscovering the power of fun, thinking “playfully” and minimizing the judgement of your inner critic
* Enhancing your interpersonally agility so you are able to stay true to yourself while bringing out the best in others
* The misconception that you _should_ know what you want to do with your life and career
* Her Lifeboat Process, which teaches you who to pick, what to discuss and how to use feedback from others to set career goals that will balance your conception of professional success with your ability to enjoy the relationships, experiences and accomplishments that make your life worth living
* A career is one where you are able to maintain the inner alignment necessary to balance what is most meaningful to you in life, what you
want to do professionally and where you are most likely to thrive doing it.
* Why careers start where you are in the present. They are built from the relationships, resources and dreams that make up your inner and
outer world right now. The way you move from feeling “stuck” to achieving sustainable success involves a change in your mindset.
That’s were being brave matters.
