You Have Arrived

<p><strong>WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN IS AS IMPORTANT AS WHERE YOU ARE HEADED</strong></p><p>Real talk about friends family work and community</p><p>You are more than the sum of your parts. You are also more than the tasks you can perform for your boss at work. As hard as you may try to keep your personal life out of the workplace it is impossible because we are all human. That's what this book is all about; bringing humanizing concepts of empathy recognition and understanding to where we spend the most of our time our workplaces. This project started as a love letter to Shannon's husband but it soon became something much more profound. The author has been applying Air Force's core value of Integrity First Service Before Self and Excellence in All We Do to the civilian sector for over two decades and 95% of the companies she has worked for didn't measure up. So she paused her life to write it all down and in so doing shines a light on how and why most leaders fail their employees. </p><p>The author uses her memoirs as a way to traverse the American post-COVID landscape through candid stories. These are lessons that we can all use to become empathetic and inspired advocates for change. It's what American employees are demanding and it's what our culture needs to become. Empathy is what is lacking in the American workplace. </p>
