The book gave a lot of good information and tips to help people find a career that suits them. It is good for those seeking a change in their work field and how to better achieve their goals.
I found myself unable to relate to the examples provided in the book. Telling me the story of how a successful news anchor became a more successful news anchor is great - but doesn't apply to most folks in less glamourous careers. Career change is also not covered much - most examples were people who wanted to be more successful in their chosen career not people who desired a complete career change to achieve happiness.
There is very little discussion of the outside-of-work responsibilities of the people involved. More realistic for most readers would be someone working an office job that is the primary wage earner for a family of four. Someone who can't just drop everything to follow their 'choreography'.

Good read for someone who is looking for that extra edge in deciding what their next career path should be. Even though the author has specialized in assisting those in the broadcasting field, there is a wealth of good, sound advice on determining one's next step regardless of the career they choose to endeavor.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Career Choreography provides practical insights and strategies that are easy to understand and apply in real-world situations. It's a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their skills and approach to business challenges.
I tried to like this book. I wanted to be helped by this book. I was unable to complete a single exercise and became disheartened. I’m certain this book will help someone, but I just did not connect with the pages.
I received this as a Goodreads giveaway. Many insightful thoughts a d suggestions to consider along the way. I would recommend for those wanting to challenge themselves to follow their dreams.
I think this a very insightful outlook on how to handle the career of your choice. Every college student and even those that are thinking of a trade school for life career. This book gives you honest steps and useable life lessons.
