Seller's Description:
Celeste Duncan (Cover designer) Very good. xiv, 94, [12] pages. Illustrations. Signed "Celeste" on the fep by cover designer Celeste Duncan (daughter of the author). Colin Duncan grew up in Kingston, Jamaica, as the youngest of three sons raised lovingly by their mother. His father found work in Washington, D.C., and eventually started his own business with a friend. However, an accident at work bruised his spinal cord and paralyzed him. At age 15, Colin moved with his mother and brothers to reunite with his father; they settled in Hyattsville, Maryland. The author then followed a trajectory that led to higher education at the University of Maryland and entrance into the accounting profession. Navigating the complexities of professional services careers is hard and often riddled with frustration and disappointment. No doubt the lucrative compensation is not to be ignored, and of course the distinguished opportunity to serve and lead at the highest ranks of your chosen profession. While the glimpses of what success looks like are all around, it can sometimes feel beyond the realm of imagination for someone to realize such gains for themselves. Many people stumble into successful career outcomes after humble beginnings with little or no plan. Sadly, there are large groups of talented and ambitious people who continue to struggle to align interests to opportunities that will yield their desired outcomes. These people represent a kaleidoscope of backgrounds and experiences for which there are no established criteria. This book captures my journey as an immigrant from Jamaica to the leader I am today, highlighting key principles that helped me endure many challenges and lead a successful business. Based on countless mentoring conversations I've had throughout my career, I know my story will resonate with many professionals who had or are having similar experiences. My hope for the reader is to be inspired, encouraged, and most importantly be able to extract tactical actions that can be applied along their journey to help them achieve their desired career aspiration. Derived from a Kirkus review: An accountant, family man, and Jamaican immigrant shares thoughts from an eventful life in this memoir. He writes that he never thought very far ahead as a youth and that he "stumbled" into accounting because his father suggested it would be lucrative. A series of failures and a few key successes led the author to take a more active approach to life, and he set a goal of becoming partner at a large accounting firm. The author also dedicated energy to organizing a family reunion and regularly attending church, where he met his future wife, Essita, who challenged his motives for wanting to be promoted to partner. His colleagues and mentors also inspired a change in mindset to a more deliberate desire to make a positive impact as a leader. Over the course of this remembrance with self-help elements, religious faith is a recurring theme, which some readers may feel is at odds with the book's message that preparedness is preferable to leaving things to chance. However, most chapters effectively end in dramatic foreshadowing of his life-changing moment. The prose is more conversational than literary in style, and the narrative strictly follows a conventional, straightforward timeline, which makes for an easy read. The inclusion of family photos at the end is a touching element amid the author's advice for living. An easygoing success story of finding purpose and fulfillment.
