I just graduated from college and I’m now making my first step into the professional world, and I recently found Becoming Invaluable: Develop the Willitude to Navigotiate Success by Steven J. Bowen and Terry Lyles. The authors’ approach to personal development is very realistic and I felt enlightened after reading through it. This book has an emphasis on cultivating a mindset of working hard and learning adaptability, which is crucial in today’s business world. Any place you work, especially with a team, you will find this to be true.
Each chapter has a ton of easily understood advice and real examples that are meant to help you succeed. I really appreciated the authors’ sincerity in acknowledging that failure is a part of the journey to success, but it’s how we respond to setbacks that truly defines us. It’s so easy to feel like a failure and just stop when you make a mistake, but to really find that success you’re searching for you have to keep moving. Becoming Invaluable is a book that will show you the way. Both for professional growth and how to empower yourself. You’ll learn how to walk through life with confidence. I wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone whether you’re just starting towards your goal or even if you’re already far along, you’ll get some fresh ideas from this book.
