Foundational Lessons from Combat Town, the Quigley, and Taking Invisible Paths

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The seemingly small and insignificant events that happen to all of us have great potential to turn into significant personal and professional development experiences in the ensuing years and decades. A person is fortunate if they can recognize that even one of these foundational events has occurred and is able to learn from it. These basic lessons can be instrumental in helping us become the best version of ourselves. In Say Yes, Jon Michaels explores and reflects on universal lessons by drawing on personal stories from his time as a Marine officer and naval aviator, as well as an amateur athlete. He describes the importance of having a strong north star, understanding that little jobs aren't bad jobs, and saying yes to meaningful opportunities when they present themselves. By combining heartfelt experiences, humility, and personal reflection, he then shares how these events and associated lessons have guided him in further developing his leadership approach today. From those just starting their career, who may not have had many foundational experiences, to mid-career professionals who could benefit from reflecting on their own experiences, to senior leaders looking for ways to inspire and mentor their teams, Say Yes shares simple wisdom, practical advice, and an optimistic outlook that everyone can apply to their personal and professional life.
