The Unspoken Rules (Gorick Ng)
Virtual Book Club

Join us for our first virtual book club! We'll read a book together every other month and discuss. The books will be selected based on the ATD Talent Capability Model. 

Our first book will be The Unspoken Rules by Gorick Ng. "The Unspoken Rules is a blueprint for anyone starting their career, entering a new role, or wanting to get unstuck." — Arianna Huffington, founder and CEO, Thrive Global

As a first-generation college student and Harvard career adviser, Gorick Ng shares the wisdom gleaned from over 500 interviews with professionals across industries and job types. This book demystifies the unspoken rules of succeeding in a corporate environment, providing you with the insights you need to not just survive, but thrive. 

You'll learn how to:

• Navigate Workplace Dynamics: Learn how to manage your time amidst conflicting priorities and build strong professional relationships, even in a remote work or hybrid work environment.
• Gain Confidence and Competence: Understand how to ask for help effectively without appearing lazy or incompetent, manage up, and manage your manager.
• Perfect Your Professional Communication: Have the professional fill in the blank scripts and MadLibs you need to network effectively, speak up in meetings, navigate workplace politics, and develop your soft skills.
• Master Time Management: Build the project management and stakeholder management skills you need to do good work, lower your stress, and regain control of your life.
• Dismantle Limiting Beliefs: Identify and overcome the mental barriers that lead to imposter syndrome and become the confident professional you know you can be.
