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

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.
