Are you wishing you could make some changes in your life? Marsha Egan has written a comprehensive workbook to guide you through that process. The Silent Signals of Success Journal provides a year's worth of week-by-week exercises that will help you to change.

Egan is a speaker, facilitator and author who has coached CEOs and leaders from some of the country's top companies and who runs a success-coaching firm, The Egan Group Inc. Along the way, she has identified eight Silent Signals of Success that she says are sent by successful people. These are: Excellence mindset, self ownership, priority focus, communication savvy, influence mastery, networking brilliance, change exuberance and action aptitude.

The book is designed to help you access what kinds of signals you are presently sending and then to change yourself so that you begin to send out the more successful variety. There are no easy answers in this book. Egan presents what she calls "intriguing challenges" or prompts that challenge you to focus on your strengths and opportunities. If you want to grow, you'll have to do them. There are tough questions to answer and lots of blank lines for you to fill in. But if you do the work, it's safe to predict you'll see some exciting changes in the course of the year.

The book is spiral bound and easy to work with. Each week you start with one of the Silent Signals of Success and take a 10-second Reality Check. Then you access what you want to do better. The pages provide lines where you can enter actions steps that you intend to take, along with notes on your progress. There's a lot of self-work involved with this journal, and it would probably work best if you were highly motivated or if you belonged to some support group to keep you going. Egan does offer teleconferences and tele-sessions on her Silent Signals through her web site, if you need additional motivation.
