Interview with K. M. McClymer and Marlene M. Page, Authors of The Quantumized Career

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Quantumized Career: Create the Work You Love – For Life?

Kelly and Marlene met at a business conference, bonded over our mutual respect for companies that respected, rewarded, and mentored their employees. Over the course of our work life, we have seen the old rules of work life erode, leaving many workers confused about how to have a successful career. So we decided to pool our diverse experience in the career space and write a book to offer a mentoring experience in a book. We want every reader to come away with a working plan for a satisfying career, despite the huge upheavals happening now and in the future.

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of The Quantumized Career: Create the Work You Love – For Life, what would they be?

Our readers are our “main characters,” and Kelly Clarkson’s “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)” is the theme song they need to hear.

What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?

K. M. McClymer writes fiction under Kelly McClymer—and she loves all genres, and writes in cozy mystery, YA fantasy, and historical romance. Marlene M. Page is a first-time author and enjoyed the experience of writing non-fiction enough that she just may write another non-fiction book one day.

What scene in your book was your favorite to write?

Our favorite sections are the ones where the reader gets to dream up and plan out how to create a career that works for them, long term.

Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)

We have a lucky cat (Marlene’s), who sometimes serenaded our Zoom writing sessions.

Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?

We really love the Henry Ford quote, “Whether you think you can or you can’t — you’re right,” and we live by the motto, “Plan the work, work the plan!”

If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?

You have more career power than you think, but you must first align your mental, emotional, and physical states in order to ignite inspired action toward your goals. Not only does our book help you identify your goals and concrete actions, but we also help you build the foundation for your “head + heart + hands” congruence.
