Forces at Work
How to Get What You Want and Keep What You Value
About the Book
Are you STUCK in a job or situation that feels TIRED or that you NO LONGER LOVE?
Do you ever wonder if this is AS GOOD as it’s going TO GET?
Do you have UNTAPPED POTENTIAL but lack the MOTIVATION to pursue it?
As competent and capable leaders, we can easily become misaligned with our true purpose. We want to make a difference, but as commitments and responsibilities pile up, we bury our own dreams and succumb to others’ expectations and the pressure to prove and perform. Defined by our responsibilities, we lose sight of who we really are, and any hope of a return seems to drift further away every year.
In Forces at Work, Missy Shopshire invites you to rediscover what really matters to you. She offers proven methods to realign your life and your work by harnessing five key elements: purpose, vision, agency, intention, and action. Empowered by new insight, you can reignite your motivation, open the door to exciting new opportunities, and inspire others by doing what you love.
“Here’s the truth: When Missy walks into the room, the impossible suddenly feels possible, problems become opportunities, and far-fetched dreams become tangible. She will move heaven and earth to help you believe in yourself!”
About the Author
Missy Shopshire started her career in sales, reaching the top 2 percent in a multi-billion-dollar company. She held that position for over 10 years, during which she learned the importance of building a team, leading them well, and working toward a shared vision of success. Even so, something was missing.
Then, two life-altering events caused her to reevaluate her life. Her four-year-old daughter fought — and won — a battle with stage 3 kidney cancer. Shortly after, Missy herself experienced a rare infection that left her in a coma fighting for her life.
As she recovered, Missy awakened to her inner voice and started making big changes in her life and career. Leaving the sales industry at the top of her game, she switched gears to become a certified life and business coach. Now, she helps leaders do what she learned to do —align with a higher purpose and achieve their true potential.
By sharing this passionate message of purpose and belief through coaching and speaking, Missy is on a mission to help leaders embrace their circumstances, step into their deepest-held dreams and desires, and become Forces at Work.
