Named one of 10 Best New Management Books for 2022 by Thinkers50 A Wall Street Journal Bestseller "...this guide provides readers with much more than just early careers advice; it can help everyone from interns to CEOs." — a Financial Times top title You've landed a job. Now what? 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 unlevel playing field, with the insiders getting ahead and the outsiders stumbling along through trial and error. Until now. In this practical guide, Gorick Ng, a first-generation college student and Harvard career adviser, demystifies the unspoken rules of work. Ng distills the wisdom he has gathered from over five hundred interviews with professionals across industries and job types about the biggest mistakes people make at work. Loaded with frameworks, checklists, and talking points, the book provides concrete strategies you can apply immediately to your own situation and will help you navigate inevitable questions, such as: How do I manage my time in the face of conflicting priorities? How do I build relationships when I’m working remotely? How do I ask for help without looking incompetent or lazy? The Unspoken Rules is the only book you need to perform your best, stand out from your peers, and set yourself up for a fulfilling career.

This program is designed for single parent families, fragmented families and any one raising children solo. It is designed as a curriculum series and is perfect for support groups in businesses, churches, organizations, schools and wherever there is a gathering of single parents. This book covers the A-Z of single parenting and encompasses a holistic approach to healing for the parent and the children."There are approximately 13.6 million single parents in the United States today, and those parents are responsible for raising 21.2 million children (approximately 26% of children under the age of 21 in the U.S. today)."- U.S. Census Bureau Recent studies have shown that there is a trend between children raised in single parent homes and high incarceration rates (Bush, et al. 2000). There are multiple explanations for this including the instability of a divorce process, missing father figures in the home, custody battles, abandonment feelings, and inconsistency experienced by the hectic schedule maintained by a working parent trying to balance everything on their own. Although the desire of many parents is to make the best life possible for their children, they simply do not have the information or resources to accomplish this to the fullest. Both parent and child suffer due to feelings of dissatisfaction and frustration from both sides because of a breakdown in communication. Without education, mediation, or the work- shops and accountability on how to improve their own lives while coping with the stress of single parenting, children of these parents will see an unstructured life. Likewise, single parents often feel overwhelmed by the large amount of balancing required in their lives and have difficulty finding a way to relieve them through talk therapy or relaxing with others in like situations. With a solid education on how to stabilize their lives financially, personally, and work wise, parents can bring much needed stability into their homes to assure their children's healthy development and transition into adulthood. They can likewise, impart this knowledge to their children, thus continuing the healthy habits into the next generation.
