FROM WELFARE TO CEO
PERSONAL TURNAROUND EXPERT AUTHORS BOOK on
STARTING OVER
PITTSBURGH, PA – Personal turnaround and leadership expert Mary Lee
Gannon is living proof that anyone can turn his or her life around quickly
with simple focused strategies. Her book “Starting Over – 25 Rules When
You’ve Bottomed Out,” published by New Horizon Press offers specific
hands-on strategies that helped her develop leadership skills, make
ultimate use of her time, uncover hidden career opportunities, be a
problem solver, be more persuasive all while keeping a healthy life
balance. This is not just theory – it holds practical steps that took her from
welfare to CEO. Listen to an interview with Mary Lee on her Web site www.
StartingOverNow.com. The book can be found in local bookstores as well
as on Amazon.com and other online bookstores.
At the age of 35 Mary Lee was a stay-at-home mother with four children
under seven-years-old living in an unpalatable marriage behind the facade
of a country club life. She filed for divorce as a leap of faith and a few
months later she realized an overwhelming avalanche of litigation and
anger that resulted in her and the children going from Fox Chapel, one of
the most lovely residential suburbs of Pittsburgh, to being homeless,
carless, hungry and on welfare. She understood then that she was going
to be the one to provide for her and her four children and had to figure out a
way to do that. She only had a two-year degree in an allied health
profession. Public assistance was not the way she wanted to live her life.
She had done the big cry and a lot of asking, “Why me?” but that got her
nothing but more paralyzed with fear.
Mary Lee decided to wipe “guilt” and “worry” out of the way with new
behaviors. She shed the habits of “blame” and “complain” like they were
yesterday’s newspaper. Then she pro-actively defined her transferable
skills, developed her sphere of influence, trained in new skills she had
determined would pay off quickly and within a few short years rose to
become a president and CEO of a large hospital foundation.
“At this point in my career I feel a need to give back,” said Mary Lee who
presents on productivity and personal turnarounds to businesses, the
community, and employment development organizations. “I am very
blessed to have achieved the success that I have but I know that it came as
no accident. I want to help others meet their dreams by using the
shortcuts that I used to work smart, build networks, acquire new skills and
develop transferable skills.”
Unemployment rates are higher than they have been in decades and many
people are suffering because they don’t know how to find work or where to
begin. Whether you are an empty nester who is re-entering the workforce,
an entrepreneur who is looking for a way to network, someone who has
been recently laid-off, a person seeking their first job, starting a business,
going through a divorce, looking for career opportunities, seeking career
advice and education, or simply someone who is setting new life goals the
free worksheets and articles at www.StartingOverNow.com will help you
get to a destination faster while also balancing other life priorities, family
and relationships.
In this easy-to-read and informative book, twenty-five critical suggestions
and tactics are laid out when you have lost everything and need to create a
new life, including:
· * Finding a mentor in an offbeat place.
· * Surround Yourself with People Whose Strengths are Your
Weaknesses and Give Away the Glory
· * Creating a simple but eye-catching portfolio
· * It’s Not Who You Know, It’s Who knows You
· * Offering practical solutions to problems of finding and obtaining the
right new position
· * Producing a business card which serves as a resume at a glance.
· * Begin with a “Success Sketch” and Hang It Where You Will See It
Everyday
· * It’s Not What You Say, It’s How You Say It and What You Don’t Say
· * On the Interview Ask More Questions Than They Ask You and Tell a
Story
· * Offer Solutions to Problems – Name the Company’s Pain
· * Dressing for the job above the one you want
· 8 Your Favorite Place is Not the Coffee Shop or the Couch; It is Now the
Bookstore
Ms. Gannon tells you which rules to break and how to apply non-traditional
methods to achieve your desired goal.
STARTING OVER: 25 Rules When You’ve Bottomed Out is an essential
guide for anyone who needs to start their career over again and for those
just beginning. The indispensable information provided will give you vital
guidance on how to reinvent your professional self and access the ladder
of success in these difficult times.
Some of the organizations for which Mary Lee has presented include:
Dress for Success, New Choices/New Options Career Development
Service, Leadership Pittsburgh, Workquest, One Vision One Life,
Pennsylvania Professional Employment Network, Urban League of
Pittsburgh, Fox Chapel Adult Education, Pennsylvania Employment and
Training Center. She has been interviewed by msn.com, Forbes.com,
eFinanicalCareers.com, jobsinthemoney.com, GlobalFinance.com as well
as by radio stations across the country. Her WnB Radio interview on Mind
Your BIZness may be heard on her web site at www.StartingOverNow.
