Beyond Graduation Larry Johanson

This book is written for college and university students who are about to graduate or have already graduated and are wondering what steps to take to launch a successful career and live rewarding, fulfilled, purpose driven lives. It is a road map or blueprint chock-full of strategies, tools, tips and techniques drawn from Larry's experience as a corporate trainer and parent with a keen interest in helping young people negotiate the often confusing and difficult passage from young adulthood to becoming compassionate, productive members of society. The strategies take them through a process to hone their inner game for success and achievement, and then to execute the strategic moves in the real world to realize their dreams. These strategies, tools, tips and techniques are organized under three overarching themes: 1. Mission: Clarify Your Mission and Purpose 2. Mindset: Cultivate the Achiever's Mindset 3. Moves: Execute the Strategic Moves The clear message is that a degree or diploma is not enough to guarantee a secure future. They are merely admission tickets to the 'game' and having the skills and tools to play the 'game' will determine one's success. Larry's unconditional guarantee to the college and university graduate fortunate to read the book and smart enough to implement the strategies and techniques, is that they will, at the very least, increase their chances of living their lives by design and on their terms, instead of in default and going along to get along.
