THOUSAND OAKS, CA--(Marketwire - September 17, 2007) - John M. McKee, among the world's foremost
certified business coaches and president and founder of
BusinessSuccessCoach.net, today announced the release of his newest
business title, "Career Wisdom" (paperback, ISBN: 9781587368288, $12.95
U.S.). Considered a must read for junior to mid-level professionals who

businesspeople with more than 101 tactical, real-world strategies and

imparted in this book can be digested quickly for immediate application on

Wisdom," aspiring professionals will learn how to navigate daunting
situations and gain knowledge in a variety of workplace topic areas,
including:
-- The "Yes Factor": How to Negotiate to Get What You Want Out of Life

Randall F. Otto, CEO of Automotive Specialty Group, raves, "In this book,
success guru John McKee uses a fresh and direct approach to tell us what we
need to know about business today." Laurie Hayes, founder and president of
The HBB Source, concurs, having noted, "'Career Wisdom' delivers the
insight to not only create a purpose-filled and rewarding career, but
mastery in all areas of your life in the process."
This is the newest career achievement publication penned by McKee, who also
authored "21 Ways Women in Management Shoot Themselves in the Foot"
(paperback, ISBN: 1587366185, $15.95 U.S.) early last year. Throughout his
executive management career McKee has hired, promoted, fired and laid off
literally thousands of employees, which has given him unique insight about
what aspiring professionals should heed to climb the ladder of success. His
new book, "Career Wisdom," is a result of hours of discussion among, and
key learning from, his exclusive leadership coaching program.
"This book allows me to easily share what I've observed, learned and
practiced for getting ahead throughout my thirty successful years on the
front line frequenting corporate boardrooms and executive suites," said
McKee. "Readers benefit from my unique perspective on how to best deal with
the rampant challenges and fleeting opportunities executives and
lower-level business professionals experience on a daily basis."
Before founding BusinessSuccessCoach.net, an online destination offering
solutions for those who aspire to maximize their success in the business
world, McKee was among the founding senior executives of The DIRECTV Group,
Inc. (
NYSE:
DTV), and, prior to that, was a senior executive who worked in
boardrooms throughout various industries across North America.
