The 2009 Award recognized the outstanding book Dare to Change Your Job and Your Life for major contributions to career theory and practice. Dr. Carole Kanchier, psychologist and educator of Calgary, Alberta, is the author of the book.      

Dare to Change Your Job and Your Life inspires you to rethink your career and life, and it shows you how.

It helps you deal with change and transition, including times of unemployment.     

Dare to Change provides practical techniques and motivational content to help you gain the courage to take charge of your life. It shows you how to look at career advancement in new ways by helping you understand how you grow and change, and how to make important decisions. Practical advice and tools such as questionnaires, exercises, and case studies help you move beyond traditional thinking about careers. Real-life stories of Questers show you how to move forward.   

  Revealing quizzes and practical guidelines show you how to clarify your mission. Proven strategies show you how to mange stress, and how to use effective job search strategies. Guidelines help you explore options, make wise decisions, and reach desired goals
