Most leadership books give you ideas. This workbook gives you a mirror and a plan.
Climbing Your Career Tree: The Leader's Companion Guide is the official companion workbook to David Purvis's book, designed for leaders who want to apply the Career Tree framework to their own lives — honestly and specifically.
David spent 36 years in the oil and gas industry, rising from a junior reservoir engineer in New Orleans to Vice President of Engineering for a global petroleum portfolio. Along the way, he learned that careers don't grow like ladders. They grow like trees: with deep roots, a strong trunk, branches that reach in unexpected directions, and fruit that is meant to be shared. This workbook translates that journey into a practical, personal experience for every reader.
Inside, you will find:
A Career Tree Snapshot to establish your honest baseline before you begin — and return to at the end to measure your growth.
Twelve chapter workbooks covering every phase of the Career Tree, from early career fundamentals to senior executive leadership, with self-assessments, reflection questions drawn directly from David's experience, and action commitment pages.
David's ABCs+, his personal leadership guidelines — Accountability, Bold and Brave, Collaboration, Delivery, Excellence, Fun, Growth, and Humility — each with a reflection prompt and a commitment line.
A 90-Day Action Plan to pull the most important insights from across the guide into a single, focused set of commitments.
A note on continuing the journey for readers who are ready to take the next step with a coach or a peer advisory group.
This is not a workbook you fill out once and shelve. It is a companion you return to as your Career Tree grows.
