Resumen del Editor

Intelligent Courage presents practical, wise, workable ideas to succeed in the real-world work environment of natural resource professionals. This previously-published, well-reviewed book is being rereleased at an affordable price and in three convenient formats.

Who is this book for?

• Valued by professors as a seminar textbook.
• Valued by students to learn what to expect in their careers.
• Valued professionals for advice on ‘street smarts’ to use in their careers.

Learn how eight successful professionals succeeded as they offer their wisdom for others to use.

Listen to this book to learn: The 9 Keystone Issues every professional will encounter in their career; the 12 Success Attributes that sum up the personal characteristics and skills needed to effectively manage the Keystone Issues; and the 6 Premises for a career that is not just a job but instead is a conscious effort to achieve some larger purpose.

What You’ll Discover:

• What the people you meet in the book learned from their career that they did not learn in college.
• The ups and downs of a natural resource career.
• Useful case histories from professionals who transformed problems into opportunities.
• Skills for working with people.
• Advice for managing the difficult parts of a career.
• And much more!

How do you create the career you want? Professionals everywhere are hoping to find exciting and productive careers, but for many, knowing how to do that is a barrier. That’s where this book comes in—it offers insight to help you choose your path with confidence and enthusiasm using real-life experience from those who’ve walked the path before.

Learn from the personal career histories of people across a wide array of natural resource careers. Especially relevant for students nearing completion of their university education and for professors as a seminar textbook. Seasoned professionals will find a wide array of "street smarts" for crafting and re-tooling their ongoing careers.

Because the eight remarkable professionals tell career stories and analyze these as learning experiences, everyone will find tips and ideas to create the career they want.

Message from the Author: Think of the career stories in this book as a set of field notes for you to analyze. Look for patterns defining recurring issues you are likely to encounter and for strategies and tactics that will help you succeed. These field notes offer a way to improve your ability to manage career events. In the last chapter, I summarize what I learned by interviewing eight remarkable people. I wish I would have met these people early in my 50+ year career.

If you’ve been considering or are in the middle of a natural resource career, the people you meet in Intelligent Courage will help you succeed.
