The Keep Working With Chronic Illness Workbook

 

 Are you asking:

How can I continue to work?

How can I return to work?

How can I thrive in my Career?

 

…..when I live with a chronic illness?    

Does this sound like you?

  • I get satisfaction from working.
  • I am good at what I do.
  • I want and need to keep working for many more years to come.
  • But chronic illness is having a very negative impact on my work.

Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been living with a chronic illness for years, you probably have questions, fears and concerns about your ability to maintain a career.  If you’re nodding, YES, to even just one of these questions, then this workbook is for you!

How do I know?  

Because I’ve lived with chronic diseases since 1978.  And, like you, I know what it’s like to struggle to continue to stay successful in the workplace.

 

Are you wondering ...

  • Q: What’s the best job for me, now that my health is so unpredictable?
  • Q: How will I be able to keep working if I can’t work the way I used to?
  • Q: How will chronic illness impact my skills?
  • Q: What will people think of me?
  • Q: Who would hire me for a new job, now that I have a chronic illness?

In 2004, I founded the career coaching firm, ciCoach, for people living with chronic illness to help them answer these questions. I’ve worked with hundreds of people, probably a lot like you, and I know what it takes to achieve workplace success when you have a chronic illness.

The Keep Working with Chronic Illness Workbook
Your “Go To” Guide

Now you can bring home my specialized career coaching program with this downloadable, self-study resource.  It’s full of career success and job search strategies that you can tailor to your needs. The Keep Working with Chronic Illness Workbook addresses the limitations and challenges that you worry and wonder about, including:

How to:

  • Listen to your body without becoming overwhelmed by fear or self-pity.
  • Make an honest assessment of your workplace skills now that chronic illness is a factor.
  • Take an inventory of the continual and periodic symptoms of your illness.
  • Determine how these symptoms will impact your workplace performance.
  • Decide if your current job is meeting your needs.
  • Figure out what you need in a new job.
  • Prepare a winning resume, even if your illness has impacted your job history.
  • Build a network of supporters to help you find the perfect job.
  • Discuss your chronic illness during the interview process.
  • Evaluate if a job offer is right for you.

You might be thinking . . .

“I can’t afford this workbook!”

”I don’t have the physical or mental strength
to deal with it!”

”I’ve already done career stuff…and it hasn’t helped! “

 

But the truth is:

    • The instantly downloadable Keep Working with Chronic Illness Workbook is ONLY $24.

    • How much is it costing you to do nothing? Ask yourself this: How much will it cost you to lose out on new job opportunities? How much will it cost you to lose your job because of how you’ve handled your chronic illness issues when you simply just didn’t know how to do it differently? Don’t let that happen!

    • If you’re like so many of us with chronic illness, you’re tired and you’re in pain. Are you thinking, “I’ve already got way too much on my plate. I’m too busy and stressed out to take on anything else.” But this resource will HELP reduce your stress, not add to it! Because it’s self-directed, this is one thing that you can do at your own pace. And I will even speak with you, one-on-one, to plan the absolute best way for you to proceed.

This is not a one-time experience—it’s something you can come back to it again and again as your career and/or health situation changes.
