About the Book: Up Your Game: Struggles, Sacrifices and Success in Your Life and Career

The days of a working professional kicking back, growing lazy, entering a comfort zone and being content with just stable growth in her or his career are over. As you probably know by now, getting your degree wasnt the finish line, it was just the beginning. Continuous learning is now the norm. I like to call it #LifeLongLearning. And upskilling alone wont give you a clear advantage in the job market. Skilling is an overused buzzword! There is a set of skills that will give you a sizeable professional edge: soft skills. Better still, these skills dont change over time, unlike endless software updates. Once you learn and perfect these abilities, they can catapult your career over the rest of the crowd. This wont happen overnight, of course. It will require self-motivation and personal determination, and that is where Up Your Game comes in. These talents will make your ability to get the job you want and climb higher and faster in an organization skyrocket, and maximize the meaningful impact you make for your family and community..
