Red Cape Rescue

Save Your Career Without Leaving Your Job

Darcy Eikenberg

Winner of the Bronze Axiom Business Award

What if you didn’t have to change everything in your career to change your life at work?

When hard things happen in our fast-moving careers, conventional wisdom offers two options: A) go find a new job, or B) stay put and “be grateful you have a job.”

But job hunting is exhausting and complex, and workplace change often disrupts parts of our lives that were going just fine. And staying where we are, without change? That’s soul-sucking and quickly impacts our mental health, physical well-being, and ability to be happier at work.

There’s a fresh answer to help you make better career decisions without resorting to the drastic measures of changing careers, finding a new job, starting a business, or bowing to an early and unwanted retirement—and without settling or sacrificing your health, family life, and well-being.

Welcome to your Red Cape Rescue. Leadership and career coach Darcy Eikenberg shares simple, practical ways to reset how you think, revise what you say, and rescue your career without quitting, feeling stuck, or changing everything in your life. As a private coach, mentor, and speaker, she’s taught these concepts to thousands of professionals around the world, and now they’re here for you, too.

In this high-energy, fun, and fast-paced book you’ll uncover:

  • Surprising ways to shift your mindset and build confidence, fast;
  • How to create more control over your career choices than you ever knew was possible;
  • What to say to ask for what you need from others—even if you have a bad manager or difficult colleagues;
  • Unexpected ways to protect your time and create more work-life balance; and
  • New approaches to creating professional and personal success right where you are, just as you are.

Plus, you’ll get Coach Darcy’s action plans—proven concepts that work in the real world, no matter what’s happening in your company or the economy.
