As this new century began to unfold, so did a new urgency to question what we value, what we honor, and what we hold dear. Collectively, we had reached a "choice point" - a time to review and reevaluate the direction of our future and the workability of our life and business practices.

Local entrepreneur and leading regional expert on life-coaching, Sydney Rice, has written an powerful new book, Choice Points: Navigate Your Career Using the Unique PaperRoom Process™ (Davies-Black Publishing, 2003), that presents truly innovative strategies and transformational solutions for managing change and achieving greater life-balance.

Rich with insight and real-life examples, Choice Points evolved from Rice's twenty-five-plus years of coaching experience with over 2,000 clients, in individual in business environments.

From The Introduction :: Why The Book Was Written

" A 'Choice Point', " says Rice, " is a moment or time when we must make a decision to make our lives more fulfilling. We know the past is no longer working; neither are our familiar decision-making processes. My work has shown me that a whole new model of assessment for making truly meaningful change is needed."

There are two things that brought me to write this book. One is my need to point out--broadcast actually--that living longer, healthier lives has revealed a new rewarding life stage of which we aren't taking advantage. The second is that our increasing ability to "cope" is dangerously surpassing our tenacity to find satisfying solutions and to see new opportunities.

The "straw that broke the camel's back" that had me decide to write this book was a client's aside about her boss. She mentioned that her new boss was becoming quite difficult, but that it wasn't a problem--he was "only going to be there for 3 or 4 years." What was she going to do, I thought, just be "on hold" for all that time?

The PaperRoom System™ allows people to create a life in which they feel fulfilled, respected, and valuable, often within the parameters of their current situation. I wanted these tools to be available to anyone who takes seriously the quality of their life and is frustrated with their current results.
