MSU Business professor, Martha Joh Reeder-Kearns publishes book aimed to inspire and guide students

Martha Joh Reeder-Kearns – A professor and an author
"Where are you going?" This simple yet poignant question is at the core of Martha Joh Reeder-Kearns’ book, "Ready, Set, Go!"

Kearns, an adjunct professor in the College of Business at Montana State University wrote "Ready, Set, Go!" a how-to guide on taking control of one’s professional future. Inspired by her students to write the book, she saw a need for young people, particularly college age, soon-to-be grads, to outline their career goals clearly. "I think they (college students) are at the point in their lives when they know it is time to take responsibility and control," she said, "but they simply don’t have the confidence and clear direction to do it."

The heart of her inspiration to write the book, however, came from home. As a mother, Kearns acknowledges that it is often difficult to impart much needed wisdom to her own children. She explained, "That is no doubt the basis for the expression, ‘a stranger can teach your child in a short time that which you cannot teach in a lifetime.’" Kearns suggests this book for parents in her shoes that need a tool for communicating insight and advice to their children.

The underlying message of Ready, Set, Go!, is definitive – The world is at your fingertips. Believe it! You are limited only by your vision, direction, and determination, — or lack thereof! This message, together with the evaluative process of discovering one s own strengths, talents, needs, and desires, and the step-by-step tool and skill building exercises, provides the impetus and opportunity to set and to reach goals unique to each reader. Kearns said, "From the very beginning, "Ready, Set, Go!" guides the reader to establish what is really important in the long run and then guides them on their way to make that happen!"
