Beyond Yes

Beyond Yes: Advice for Early Career Professionals Transitioning into the Workplace is a non-fiction self-help book that helps young adults adjust to the workplace in the first ten years of their career in four meaningful ways. The book identifies relevant career experiences, describes critical skills valued by employers, discusses stressors in the workplace, and teaches early career professionals how to recognize when organizations see their potential. Beyond Yes achieves two goals. First, it teaches young adults how to find developmental job experiences, and managers committed to their growth. Secondly, it helps early career professionals identify the challenges within their control (e.g., finding a manager interested in their development, running successful meetings, building virtual relationships) and career challenges they can't control. For example, readers learn strategies for dealing with management changes and workforce reductions.
