Kent C Porter

My book, Fix Frustrations At Work, is the high point of my eleven different careers that zigzagged from A to K to Z over 50 years. But I know that experience alone doesn’t make a book worth reading. An inspired book is worth reading. Is my book inspired? I think so and the feedback I’ve gotten so far affirms this.

At the end of the day, thought, you’ll be the judge. There are 32 short stories in the book. Each story will take you about seven minutes to read, so read a few and test for yourself to see if you’re feeling inspired. Do my retellings of some impactful moments in my client’s lives impact you? Were the main characters inspired to move away from passive complaints and to take action to fix their own frustrations?

Did you find seeds of transformation that also apply to you? I think you will.

A review of how I developed my book might provide you a bit more insight into how this slim volume can pack and a punch when it comes to transformation.

- It is distilled from 10,000 hours of research in the form of significant coaching conversations with more than 500 people.

- Each story reflects a consistent pattern where I’ve helped my client to be encouraged, not discouraged, and to realize they have the power within them to fix their frustrations.

- After making a successful living helping hundreds, I wanted to find a way to extrapolate what I’ve learned and help thousands of folks who are experiencing the same frustrations as my clients.

- Honestly, when faced with the task of actually sitting down to write this book, I knew the ideas were great, but although I’m a strong communicator, I’ve never written a book before.

- I knew I had to get it out there, so I turned my story teller skills into a series of short, really short vignettes. I didn’t go crazy writing them and you won’t get bogged down reading them – they are just straight to the point.

- I can say that this process of taking stories from my experience and transforming them into a book transformed me.

- It made me realize I could write a book despite what my high school English teacher told me all those years ago. I have to say that if I can write a book, I believe you can fix your frustrations at work or outside of work.
