Rising Adult Professionals: Stand- Up, Stand-Out, and Succeed with Julie Lythcott-Haims & Mark Zides Harvesting Happiness

Today’s job market is a stark contrast to the job market of 20-
years ago. Millennials and Gen Z’ers who are entering the
workforce have different ideas about what makes a successful
career and a happy work life. Young adults who are empowered
with the right tools to problem solve for themselves will be major
assets for the organizations they join. How long they maintain a
position will be up to the organization to foster their talent and
the ability of the young adult professional to rise to find different
opportunities within the same organization. To discover how
young adults entering the workforce can build a foundation of
trust and commitment to achieve work/life success, Positive
Psychology Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with two
authors about how young adult professionals can stand-up, stand-
out, and succeed. Julie Lythcott-Haims is a New York Times
bestselling author and former Stanford Dean of Freshman. She
explores the role parents can play in raising empowered young
adults and other reflections from her book, Your Turn: How to Be
an Adult. Mark Zides is the CEO of CoreAxis Consulting and a
serial entrepreneur. He discusses the core concepts he provides to
young adults in his book, The #PACE Process for Early Career
Success.
