Simply by living, each of us makes a path on the earth. Whether we blaze new trails or walk worn roads, all the things we touch and do leave an impression as unique and individualized as a signature.

Your Signature Path begins with the assumption that each of our paths makes a difference in the world and that each of us cares about the kind of difference we make. Written by a consultant to business who is familiar with the dilemmas inherent in the world of work, it is a book for individuals who are struggling with, celebrating, defining, or reconsidering their life's direction in the midst of great changes in the workplace, society, and the family. It offers these seekers thought-provoking insights and practical tools for evaluating who they are, what they are doing, and where they want their path to lead.

Focusing on three elements-Your Self, Your World, and Your Path-Bellman guides you in assessing your attributes, understanding your roles in the organizations and communities you interact with, and acting with purpose and clarity. Bellman shows that you have the power to define your own path. Through probing text and numerous practical exercises, he will help you-

See yourself and your life path in a new light

Understand why you do what you do

Shape the many roles you play in the world, and find the deeper meaning inherent in those roles

Honestly examine your passion (or lack of) for your work

Reach for work goals that are life-fulfilling, and more

Bellman offers a fresh, empowering vision of the individual's place in the world; he explores ways which help your life and work make a positive difference. He illuminates the integral role of work in a fulfilling life, and shows how to align your work with the life path you have chosen.

Written for people who reflect and act upon what their lives are about, who intend to have a hand in their own destiny, who aspire to become their better selves; Your Signature Path offers guidance for life's most important challenge- Creating yourself while contributing to the world.

Reviews for Your Signature Path: Gaining New Perspectives on Life and Work

Brown and Hayes have written a wonderful, well structured and easy to read page turner about a fascinating idea that should affect the way every thinking marketer should see the world. Christoph Kaderli, Vice President EMEA Marketing, Performance Management & Alliances at Cognos Ltd & CMO Council Europe Advisory Board Member. Today's market is truly 'always on'. This is having a dramatic impact on the way that we market and sell to our existing customers and prospects. Influencer Marketing provides an excellent reference on how you can drive and achieve significant change in your traditional mindset to ensure that you can address the new and dynamic challenges that now appear every day'. Ask yourself, 'Do I change or do more of the same? There is only one correct answer . Jim Cassidy VP Marketing EMEA, BEA Systems A thought provoking book that challenges the way we think and who we target. A must for any skilled marketer wishing to beat his competitor. Dr Anthony Marsella, Chief Marketing Officer Samsung Electronics and co-author Marketing Revolution . Cutting Edge Marketing at its best. This is a must read for any Technology Marketer James Hart, Marketing Director, EMEA, Research In Motion (Blackberry) If you think you know about marketing in the 21st century, press & analyst relations, the value of conferences, the buying cycle - think again. Influencer Marketing will make you question even your basic understanding of marketing, and who really wields power in the market place. Joe Barrett, Director, Strategic Marketing, Qualcomm Europe This book explains why today's marketing model is a very different playing field. ROI is high on the agenda. The power of the network enables emphasis on 1:1 conversations and choice, dialogues and communities, which in turn leads to honesty and transparency in messaging. Jon Tutcher Head of Marketing, Sun Microsystems UK & Ireland Influencer Marketing brings together common sense with some insightful ideas in a book that provides marketers with useful tips for extending their own influence. Ruth Mortimer, Editor, Brand Strategy Magazine It is rare to find a marketing book which is useful from page one. Most provide useful maxims to include in presentations, but few back this up with practical approaches to use in anger in the workplace. Influencer Marketing has been invaluable in focusing my organisation on the invisible influencer . Robert Posner, European Marketing Director, Harte-Hanks
