About Next Move, Best Move: Transitioning Into A Career You’ll Love
In her debut book, Next Move, Best Move: Transitioning Into a Career You'll Love, Cummings leaves no stone unturned with this thorough, expert guide for professionals seeking to understand how to navigate the world of work, from beginning to end, starting with uncovering personal and professional values in an effort to align their expertise and skills to roles and companies that will finally change the trajectory of their career and set them up to be leaders in the workforce.
“As a result of my experiences, this book offers the specific tactics I learned, created, tested, and implemented to attain several dream jobs throughout my career—and even a few dream offers I turned down, too,” she says. “I wrote this book for those who feel like it’s too late to change the trajectory of their career, those who feel hopeless, the kind of hopelessness that has you contemplating how you ended up at your exact desk when you know you were destined for more. The good news is there’s a light within this gloomy thought process, and that’s the fact that you recognize something isn’t right.”
From Daniella Kahane, Executive Director + CEO, WIN Summit:
“Kimberly B. Cumming’s Next Move Best Move reminds you that it is never too late to craft the career of your dreams. Reading the book is like having a relatable, candid, and supportive career and leadership coach in your ear. Through this book, Kimberly not only inspires you to action with her own narrative but most importantly delivers a clear outline, measurable steps, and specific tools that you can use to ensure your next move is your best move.”
