Description:
No one tells you how to navigate your first day in a new role. No one tells you how to take ownership, manage expectations, or handle workplace politics. No one tells you how to get promoted.
The answers to these professional unknowns lie in the unspoken rules—the certain ways of doing things that managers expect but don't explain and that top performers do but don't realize.
The problem is, these rules aren't taught in school. Instead, they get passed down over dinner or from mentor to mentee, making for an unleveled playing field, with the insiders getting ahead and the outsiders stumbling along through trial and error.
Until now. In this 1-hour session with Q&A, Gorick Ng, Harvard career adviser and author of THE UNSPOKEN RULES: Secrets to Starting Your Career Off Right, will share highlights and practical strategies from his book that attendees can apply to their own work lives immediately to get further, faster in their careers.
