Adult professionals with blue and green shirts, new podcast episode with Julie Lythcott-Haims & Mark Zides

The Power of Productivity

Original Air Date Wednesday, July 20, 2022 

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, Harvesting Happiness 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.
