Overview of The Courage of
My Convictions:
The Courage
of My Convictions is
a true story and an invaluable resource for anyone re-engineering their
career, part of a duel career household, just beginning a career, or who considers personal
integrity and family their top priorities.
After graduating Texas Christian University,
Peter Duffy takes a sales position with Procter and Gamble and quickly
climbs the ladder.
Duffy meets and marries Barbara, a technology
wiz, and moves to Pittsburgh to become Procter and Gamble's youngest
District Manager.
When the couple's first daughter arrives,
Barbara is offered an exciting opportunity in New York and Duffy
encourages the move resulting in disastrous consequences for his own
career. This begins a five-year ordeal in which Duffy endures seven job
changes.
The recession of the early 90's finds Duffy
working in a delicatessen. The couple now has two young daughters, no
savings, and they are approaching bankruptcy.
One final, desperate attempt at corporate life
is a complete disaster when Duffy finds himself in a tangled mess, and is
fired. He is now at the low point in his life.
The Courage of My Convictions is
ultimately a success story and an inspiration for anyone who has been fired or laid off. Find out how Peter did it and what he learned.
