Intro To Grad To Grown Up
WHO SHOULD READ GRAD TO GROWN-UP?
The easy answer is everyone. I do believe this book has something to benefit anyone at any stage of life. But who comes to mind first? Graduates and young adults, specifically, my interns—brilliant interns from our nation’s top colleges. I think of them because they have strong business skills but do not know how to invest in a 401(k). They are hardworking young adults who have one foot already on the hamster wheel of corporate America but cannot claim their jobs as vocations.
For twenty years, I’ve sat with these interns weekly, sharing what became known as “Gene’s Life Lessons” to help them prepare for the future, not just professionally, but personally. Those interns were my first audience. And now there is you!
This book is especially for those at the start of their careers, as well as those who are motivated to advance in their jobs and need the guidance to do so. This is for people who want to have success not just in business but in their personal lives too. This is for those who wish to live a more balanced, meaningful life.
Want to improve yourself? Be happier? More fulfilled? More successful? This book is for you.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING...
“Gene is one of the top executive recruiters in the world. He’s helped me, as well as over a thousand others, get the jobs of their dreams. This book will help anyone starting out in their career or looking to advance. Even better? He shares how personal growth is essential to professional success.”

"I’m betting on this book. It has all the elements of a bestseller! The interplay of a father’s wise and practical advice and his daughter’s good-hearted (and often funny) challenges make for a very readable set of informal business and financial commandments that any young person (or older person starting out on a new career) would be wise to follow."
Mark Morgan Ford

"Grad to Grown-Up is a must-read. What I learned from Gene about work ethic, respect, finance, and career helped get me to the NBA. Gene has the strongest character of anyone I know and a unique ability to build relationships with others. Every young person can learn from him, and this book is full of his invaluable insight."
Ryan Arcidiacono

"Grad to Grown-Up will help every person looking to grow and get on the path to success. It’s these lessons that helped me achieve academic and personal success so young. Gene is a mentor to me to this day and the book shares all his advice."
Dr. Kennedy Chukwuocha
Doctor of Physical Therapy; previous RCI intern
"I have known Gene and his family for over 35 years. Gene has had extraordinary success in both his professional and personal life. What I admire most about Gene is how he cares for and treats others. As a young professional, I reported to Gene, and he helped pave the path for me and others to be successful. Also, what he and his wife Michele do through their philanthropic activities is remarkable. I hope his book receives the attention it deserves, as there are many lessons others can benefit from."
