You deserve a career that allows you to explore new cultures, challenge the way you think and provide the financial freedom to reinvent yourself. This book lays out a simple career lifecycle model called ADAPT — a five-stage career lifecycle model.

The ADAPT method is a simple model to help assess progress, challenges and opportunities.

Get Socially Engaged

Seek Travel & Adventure
Organize Yourself
Find Your Advisors
Find What Motivates You

Author Paul Goudreault emphasizes that the ADAPT model can be used at any age or career stage, but hopes younger people take note. Goudreault entered the workforce as a young geologist and created a successful 40-year career in the engineering and consulting industry.
