Overview
"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 .

"Launch , Navigate , Lead : Experiences , Attributes and Behaviors for Continuous Career Growth " is a book offering practical advice for career navigation and professional development . It is especially designed for college students about to enter the workforce and early career professionals committed to growth and eager to ascend . It has been tailored for those interested in the business world but its lessons can be more broadly applied . This book is NOT a textbook . It is a personal guide , a handy tool which can be used for several years to assist readers who do not have a mentor , a " trusted someone" who would be a reliable "go-to-source" when it is time to make difficult career decisions , to safely navigate their way through tight spots or merely to simplify complexity . Relying on forty years of experience in business and six years conducting "pro-bono" career coaching seminars at Queens College , City University of New York , Frank Boccio offers his own opinions, supported by experts in the field of professional development , to provide readers with practical solutions and de-mystify what it takes to succeed in competitive environments . As a person hired as an entry level customer service trainee and working his way up the ladder to the C-suite , as a direct report to the CEO/Chairman of a Fortune 500 Company , FRANK UNDERSTANDS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO WORK AT EVERY LEVEL . Each chapter of the book starts with a topical essay personally written by Frank and concludes with a questions and answers section -questions most frequently asked by students about to graduate college and early career professionals who still seek Frank's advice . Topics range from transition skills and core attributes (required as a base layer of capabilities ) to more advanced capabilities such as Personal Brand , Influencing , Networking , Emotional and Social Intelligence , Leadership attributes and more . No career guide could conceivably ignore the implications of the Corona Virus on the job market and the economy , so in the Epilogue , Frank spends extra time providing , advice , insight- and even some speculation - for readers to traverse through these times of uncertainty , volatility and change . It would be presumptuous to suggest this book answers all or even half of the questions in minds of graduating students and early career professionals of today , so Frank concludes his writing with an extensive list of Recommended Reading (from decades ago up to today ) to help every individual motivated to learn on their own .
