Looking for a good summer read? My current read is Reinvention, a book about Arlene Dickinson’s rebranding of herself and her business following a challenging time. A great book for those seeking change in their life or career and not sure where to start. The book offers advice and guidance on the steps required for change, including, self-awareness, a key factor when choosing a career or experiencing life transition.
“…Change begins by looking backwards. In order to figure out where you can go, you need to know exactly where you’ve been.”
- Arlene Dickinson

The complete set of guidelines is available on the NSCCT website and can be viewed by clicking here.
