The New Deal

The New Deal  for your "pick me up" of the fall...to get your self-esteem singing, your career machine firing, and your opportunities rising.

Institute your own "American Jobs Act" this fall without waiting for the bureaucrats in Washington to come to agreement. Agree for yourself that there are opportunities out there and it's your time to learn how to best compete for them.
 


 

I'm Darrell Gurney and I want to support you to have the confidence, strategy, and connections to take your career to exciting new levels this fall. While our President is launching a new Jobs Plan and we watch hopefully as our government leaders move past gridlock to jolt our economy, you can be creating your own employment initiatives.
 

Look, we can cry about how bad things are, we can be alarmed by new terror threats, and we can bemoan our economy...OR we can each do our part to get this machine "working" again. If there's one thing we need from and for our "fall" it's a Pick-Me-Up! So, "let's roll!"
 

When our economy was similarly troubled during the Great Depression, FDR instituted "The New Deal" to turn things around. So, I've decided to offer The New Deal as well, to get you coming and going...to meetings, to interviews, and to work!
 

[NOTE: I can only offer this to 10 invididuals a month at this level because of personal time involved.
If you don't catch it this month, stay alert for next month's offer.]


 

Here's the The (4-Part) New Deal:
 

 

1) Private, One-on-One Career Review Session...because I want to speak with you directly and help you create a plan and strategy for your next best career move. (People have made entire career shifts JUST from a Career Review Session with me alone!)


This 90-minute, One-on-One phone session gives us an opportunity to determine the areas you would like to develop and expand upon in your career. At the conclusion of the session, I personally walk you through a written summary of What’s Working, What Needs Attention, and What Next Steps need to be considered in your passion-based career growth. You even receive a recorded audio of this summary, for reviewing as many times as you wish. This session alone generates enormous insights for clients and is an incredible stand-alone value...ESPECIALLY helpful during career transition.
 

What Folks Have Said About the Career Review Session


"My initial 1½ hours with Darrell was the best return on investment I've had in quite some time.  After speaking with me for a short period and asking an occasional clarifying question, Darrell was able to shed light on why certain things resonate/work for me  in my work life and why certain aspects leave me with a vague since of discontent.  I was able to see clearly what my primary drivers are and extrapolate to what might work/not work for me in the future…and, more importantly, what I find most satisfying.  I would describe the process as bringing things I was already somewhat aware of into sharp focus.”—Luanda G., Harvard MD and Clinic Director
 

"Insightful, positive, and motivating Darrell was able to extract with razor sharp precision, the core essence of my unique value to employers. These revealing observations about my successful personal characteristics gave me tremendous confidence during a recent interview. It awakened critical awareness about my marketability, my deepest desires and goals, and how I can go about attaining them. From this, I feel very enthusiastic about 2010 and what it will bring for me. Darrell is a fabulous coach and motivator!"—Jeanne C., Senior VP Marketing
 

“I would never have been able to look at myself in the mirror in the way you enabled me to.  The way you were able to link to my past experiences from childhood to present day and come up with a game plan going forward makes this session worth every dollar.  I now have a renewed sense of direction where I need to be."—Justin C., Financial Advisor and recent grad
 

"I have to admit, I was a little skeptical about how someone can gather information about you in 70 minutes and then provide you w/a written summary in 20 minutes. Darrell quickly cleared my skepticism after I began to read his summary from my Career Review session. His analysis/assessment was mind blowing for me because he was able to 'very eloquently' articulate my strengths, which confirmed what I had been sharing with others about myself. After the session, I felt empowered, confident, and yet a little scared, which caused me to think about this quote 'Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us' (Marianne Williamson). However, the light revealed by Darrell and the next steps he provided will be my motivators and driving forces to fulfill my passions and vocation. What an AWESOME experience!"—Monica M., HR Professional
 

“I'm sure I'm making the right decision, and wanted to thank you for your assistance in creating a career autobiography (or personal map) that helped me identify my preferences with trends. I used what I learned with you in my conversations with [Major Record Label], and can move forward fully confident that this new opportunity will prove the kind of deep-end learning experience that I utterly enjoy. This time, thanks to your help, I'm jumping in strategically and thoughtfully rather than 'accicentally.' Your client goes from borderline despair to new opportunities after just one meeting and a follow up. Darrell, is this a record for you?”—Charles H., Entertainment In-House Counsel


At my standard hourly coaching rate, this session would be $450. But don't fret and keep reading: like I said, this is The New Deal.

—Harvey Mackay, author of the #1 New York Times Bestseller Swim With The Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive

There’s a need for straight talk to help legions of professionals make new job connections — Darrell Gurney gets it and delivers the goods.”

“Backdoor Job Search is a provocative resource that not only hits the nail on the head about the importance of building and leveraging contacts and our network, but raises our thinking to do this “before” we need a job.  It is a Protean approach… meaning we must take personal responsibility, anticipate and adapt to a workplace in constant flux to land the job we want and deserve.  Darrell Gurney’s simple, easy-to-follow principles show you how to be proactive and successful in the new transformation workplace, where relationships reign supreme.”

NOTE: A big publisher noticed this ebook a few months ago and asked to publish it in a full, bookstore version. So, I spent the last few months doubling the size of the content and gaining even more endorsements. It will arrive in bookstores mid-February, 2012, to help you continue to implement the principles you'll learn initially in the ebook. So, to round out The New Deal, I'll ask you to obtain...

—Keith Ferrazzi, co-author of the Bestselling Never Eat Alone

 

"Where there's a way there's a will.  Most people don't lack the will to network, they lack the way.

I strongly encourage every professional, self-employed entrepreneurs too, to read and incorporate these methods into your networking practice.”

There is plenty of work for people who are willing to truly be worth their pay. Don't ever again sit in a human resources waiting room in hopes of getting hired. Just go help people grow their organizations.”
