In Career ReCharge, Beth Kennedy explains her Benatti Resiliency Model, five strategies that help you develop your resilience and give you the energy to recharge your career and your life, even if circumstances are discouraging or disruptive. The Benatti Resiliency Model has proven successful through Beth’s more than 20 years of professional coaching and personal experience.
In Career ReCharge, you’ll why taking care of your well-being is so important; the value of knowing your purpose and adjusting your mindset; the importance of a personal brand; why and how to cultivate connections with others; and how to incorporate innovation into your career and life.
This book is a journey to resilience with an itinerary! It includes exercises to help you get the most benefit from each chapter, Resiliency Boosters—actions you can take to implement each resilience strategy, and personal success stories from Beth’s coaching clients. Career ReCharge is for you if you’re ready to enhance your confidence, engagement, and productivity.
“Greatly needed advice for an incredibly hectic new world! We all need to recharge! Beth shows us how.” Marshall Goldsmith, Thinkers50 #1 Executive Coach in the World and Top Ten Business Thinker for eight consecutive years.

A “Must Have” In Your Library for Career and Personal Recharging!!
Honesty is my #1 value (so I’ve discovered through coaching). So, let me start by saying, I bought this book because Beth is a college friend. I see her personal and professional updates regularly on social media but we haven’t seen each other in more than 30 years. Beth recently posted that she was coming to San Diego for a conference. Excited that a friend I hadn’t seen in years was coming to my town I reached out to see if we could connect while she was here. When she said yes I thought, “I should probably buy that book she wrote and read it before she we get together.” ‘Cause, that’s what friends do.
What a fantastic book! I have had several career and life coaches in my life. I have paid thousands of dollars for their advice. Beth sums up beautifully all the advice I’ve ever had in a clear and relatable way with helpful strategies and manageable exercises to keep you focused, boost your resilience and set you on a path for successful recharge in any area of life.
I read this book in a matter of days, bookmarking several pages to go back and re-read and work on the exercises.
Kudos my friend! Thank you for your expertise, advice & inspiration.

Full disclosure- I read this book for work, rather than choice. I find that professional development books don’t really work for me. Either the advice is so blatantly obvious that you wonder why someone wrote a book about it, or it’s not in any way actionable. This book has some of both of those in it, but Benatti Kennedy’s tone goes along way to feeling relatable. The real problem of this book is that a) it’s not written for a COVID-19 world where a lot of the interpersonal contact isn’t as accessible as she recommends. B) it is oozing with privilege- some of her advice is to take 4 weeks worth of vacation spread out throughout the year, hiring a nanny or cleaning service to help you feel less stressed, signing up for classes. It’s not that that’s bad advice, but it’s advice for people who can afford to hire a career coach.
Some of her advice is really helpful- especially when she talks about mindfulness. Her little exercises are pretty cool. So if you can read her privileged advice and not get frustrated then it is worth it to get to the good stuff.

Nothing new here. Exercise, hydrate, journal, brainstorm, plan ahead. I was hoping for something a little more profound.
The two best sentences in the whole book occure on side-by-side pages: "Resilience requires that we minimize chronic stress and maximaize the time we spend in a low-stress state; it also requires that we have a toolkit of mindfulness strategies to manage stressors. The point of mindfulness is not to stop you from reacting to what's happening in your life; it's to avoid responding out of old habits, which can be exhausting, unproductive, and create more distress."

We are sure that by now you have read multiple books along this same line. If you have not read anything about helping you cope in your career, then Career ReCharge: Five Strategies to Boost Resilience and Beat Burnout by Beth Benatti Kennedy might be just the thing for you.
If you have read other books on dealing with the corporate world or overcoming burnout, then you will see that this book takes you on a journey to the same place most of the others did, just along a slightly different path.
For the most part, this book is very helpful in finding new tools to help one deal with the stresses of everyday life in the corporate world.
However, the one negative in this book is that the author finds it necessary to take every opportunity to tell us that this way is unique because it is the Benatti Resiliency Model. This is repeated so often that you begin to think the idea is to make you resilient by repeating this as a mantra of sorts.
If you have never read a book about dealing with toxic people, burnout, fatigue, loss of motivation, or related issues, then Career ReCharge: Five Strategies to Boost Resilience and Beat Burnout would be a good choice to be your first book on the subject.
If, however, you have read multiple other books on this same subject, you won’t find very much new here. It is just told a little bit differently. This would make it an excellent text for anyone who has tried reading other books of this sort and did not find a permanent solution to their problem. This one might just be the one that sticks.
Like stated before in this review, if you haven’t read other books on this subject, this will probably be the only one you need to read.

I was gifted this book during a leadership program through the HBA. We were assigned reading and, while I'm usually a strictly electronic book gal, I kept at it with the paper (albeit at a slower pace than digitally). I'm not going to go through each chapter one by one, but I will summarize the book as a whole and give you some thoughts on the idea in general.
This year (or last year, rather), I went on a big of a personal development journey. I was tasked with developing my own career pathway, and that led to taking on a lot of leadership classes and reading. This book was a good addition to those, helping to decode what your body and mind need to succeed. It's always good to get different opinions and ideas when it comes to bettering yourself, so this book is definitely worth checking out. If you are feeling a bit lost, maybe overwhelmed, or like you just don't have the energy you used to - I would pass this book along to you. It's a somewhat easy read, with some ideas and exercises at the end of each chapter that are fun and simple to complete. I'll definitely be sharing this with my colleagues now that I'm done.
