Launch - Navigate - Lead

"Launch , Navigate , Lead : experiences , attributes and behaviors for continuous career growth " Is a book of practical advice for career development . It is designed for those about to enter the workforce and for early-career professionals . It is tailored for those interested in business careers but can be broadly applied too . It isn't a textbook ; it is a personal guide , a self-help tool to help those who do not have a mentor or "trusted -someone " as their "go-to" source of sage advice . Relying on forty years of experience in business and six years conducting pro-bono career coaching seminars at Queens College , C.U.N.Y , Frank Boccio offers his own counsel supported by many experts from the field of professional development to de-mystify what it takes to succeed in competitive environments . Hired as an entry level customer service trainee , then working his way up the ladder to the C-suite, reporting to the CEO/Chairman of a Fortune 500 Company , Frank knows how it feels to work at every level . Each chapter of the book starts with a topical advisory essay and ends with Q/A taken from dialogue in the classroom and questions Frank still fields from employees of all levels who still seek his advice . Topics range from Core Attributes forming the base layer of capabilities to advanced ones like Personal Brand , Influencing , Networking , Emotional and Social Intelligence , Leadership and more . Implications of the Corona Virus on the job market and the economy are discussed in an Epilogue where Frank spends extra time providing insight and "informed speculation " to help readers traverse through these times of uncertainty , volatility and change .
