Darcy Eikenberg: Red Cape Rescue

Darcy Eikenberg is an executive coach and speaker who has worked with high-performance leaders and teams. She speaks about career growth, employee engagement, and leadership development at conferences and for organizations around the world. Her latest book, Red Cape Rescue: Saving Your Career Without Leaving Your Job, focuses on ways each of us can rethink our work that is productive for ourselves and for our organizations. Written for the professional who's hit a speed bump in their life at work, no matter whether the bump was created by outside forces (such as a merger or economic change) or whether shift came from within, like a health scare or even celebrating a birthday with a zero on the end. The ideas inside offer fresh ways to take back control and get what you need in your life at work—without overwhelming yourself and changing everything in your life. While conventional wisdom says if you're not happy with your life at work, it’s time to leave, Red Cape Rescue offers a different alternative: a set of practical actions that are completely in your control to reinvent your life at work, right where you are, just as you are.
