You Can Change Your Career: How I Change My Role Using LinkedIn, Stayed in My Field and Found Happiness

I changed my life and you can too. Although this book covers my journey from teacher to writer, it is applicable to all professions. Today, I am the Editorial Director for MindRocket Media Group, an education writer for the Huffington Post and an official LinkedIn Thought Leader for education and education technology.

I have spoken with thousands of teachers and people who work in the nonprofit realm. We chat about careers, future goals and how they feel about their profession. Unfortunately, countless numbers of people are simply unhappy in their current roles.

And the data speaks for itself. Alternatives to Teaching: 20 Companies that Hire Teachers, an article found on my site, EdNews Daily, generates nearly 100,000 page views per month. This specific article focuses on career options for teachers looking outside the field. These teachers contact me every week, with a community growing close to 10,000 educators.

And, they want to change careers, however, they simply don't know how to do so. This book covers the span of the most important things I've learned over the past five years reinventing myself as an educator, along with strategies and resources. In addition, the book focuses on mindset, how to network, professional branding, and specific ways to use LinkedIn to find success. Teachers who want to reinvent their lives have the abilities to do so. By learning about my story, following tips and taking action, teachers can be on their way to sharing their many talents.
