Seen Known Valued: How to Find Career Belonging in a Workforce Obsessed with Fit

What if the career advice you've always followed--find a good fit--was leading you in the wrong direction? In Be Seen, Known, Valued, Dr. Sarabeth Berk Bickerton introduces a groundbreaking concept: career belonging. Drawing on original research, personal narrative, and deep expertise in professional identity, Berk Bickerton reframes the conversation from "fitting in" to "belonging"--being accepted, understood, and valued for who you truly are, not just what you do.

This paradigm-shifting book is a lifeline for individuals who feel unseen or boxed in by traditional roles. Whether you're a hybrid professional juggling multiple skills, a mid-career talent rethinking your path, or a coach or HR leader trying to build inclusive workplaces, Be Seen, Known, Valued offers the tools to navigate a more authentic and fulfilling career.

You'll learn how to clarify your professional identity, define your "big C" career (your calling), and apply the Five Steps to Career Belonging. With real-life stories, reflective exercises, and actionable frameworks, this book empowers readers to stop contorting themselves to fit into roles--and instead create careers where they thrive.

A must-read for anyone ready to move beyond job descriptions and step into a work life that aligns with their true self.
