Why Pragmatic Passion? Passion Is Not Enough!
Dreams often remain fantasy because we are taught to “Do what we love” and success follows. That’s just not true. It takes time, a pragmatic plan, and intentional effort to create and cultivate your passions and purpose, regardless of your stage of life.
Inside this book, you’ll discover and learn how to apply:
• What Pragmatic Passion is and why it’s needed in today’s distracted and disengaged world.
• 7 Common-Sense Principles to lead you on a practical path to achieve personal and professional success
• How to use Pragmatic Passion to live a vibrant life, have a meaningful career, be passionate every day, contribute to the greater good, and live comfortably with peace of mind
If you are looking to create a new purpose for your life, a student (and their parent) contemplating what’s next, a graduate who desires a rewarding job, frustrated with your current situation, or a retiree looking for your next life challenge - Pragmatic Passion is for you!
“I am grateful to have experienced the Power of Pragmatic Passion from one of the best coaches in the business while attending the National Athletic and Professional Success Academy (NAPSA). Joe went above and beyond to help me step up my game!"
- Dominic Austin, Former NFL Player, Businessman, and Founder of Tackles4Cancer
"Joe’s infectious energy and passion come through very clearly in The Power of Pragmatic Passion. His common sense approach provides a terrific road-map for adults of all ages to consider their path forward to success at any stage of their lives and careers. Given the remarkable success Joe has achieved by employing this approach throughout his career, and how well he translates that approach into this book, it is well worth reading and referring to Pragmatic Passion time and again."
-Steve Kipp, Executive Coach, National Athletic and Professional Success Academy
"I met coach Battista after his keynote speech at my college sports banquet. His words and insight were very influential, and I will carry that newly gained knowledge with me throughout my life. His 1-on-1 coaching has been pivotal in helping me shape and achieve my academic and life goals. I’m grateful to Coach, and I believe everyone would benefit greatly from Pragmatic Passion."
-Matteo Galieti, College Junior
"As I read The Power of Pragmatic Passion, it struck me that this book should be “required reading” for all people approaching (or early into) retirement. People who may have succeeded in life but are now asking “what’s next?“ People that have more to give to organizations, community, or society at large."
-J. Alan Stewart, Retired, former Director of Land Development
"As a trusted coach and leader, this book captures Joe’s approach to career and life using his 7 common-sense principles. This is a terrific resource for those seeking life and career insights, a motivating message, and a dose of Joe’s humor!"
-Cheryl Clark Bonner, Career Counselor and Co-Author of Your Career Planner
"Mr. Battista is genuine, enthusiastic, and credible. He listened to me and reassured me with his support and advice. I will continue to use the skills I’ve learned from The Power of Pragmatic Passion during college and when exploring careers."
-Jamie B., recent High School Graduate
"Coach Battista has been a voice of reason and an inspiration for our daughter in assessing her future options. Through structured activities and with a great sense of humor, he has established a wonderful rapport with her, and he will continue to be a mentor in her life."
-Wendy and Ken B., parents of Jamie B. (above)
