Leveling up is the only foolproof success strategy. It means owning your responsibility for taking control of who you are, what you do, and what your life will become.
This book is written for the men and women grinding it out every day at work and wanting so badly to be more valued and get to the next level.
It's for the young professionals entering the workforce with big dreams who want to know exactly what it takes to advance in their career.
It's for anyone who has wanted more out of life but just hasn't been able to make the shift to take control of their future.
Many books teach you the steps you need to take to change your life. But they're missing the critical foundational action that is necessary to ensure your new habits stick--the one element that distinguishes high-achieving professionals from those still waiting for success to find them. Most people know what they should do, and yet they don't do it. The fact is that it does not matter how much you know--nothing will change for you unless you own the responsibility of leveling up.
Alyson Van Hooser has discovered the crucial knowledge you must have, actions you must take, and areas of your life you must own if you want to shift the trajectory of your professional life to work in your favor. In Level Up, you'll learn the secrets to professionalization and the exact steps required to gain respect, increase opportunity, and harness the power to crush all your goals, including:

• How to lay down your law so you don't get off track
• How to get ahead by identifying and strategically adapting to what motivates individuals in different generations, from different social classes, with different life experiences
• How to make your emotions work for rather than against you
• Ways to make networking impressive instead of awkward
• What self-care truly means (hint: choosing YOU and your goals)
• And much more

Be bold. Make your own hype. And be accountable to the grind. Success and growth are often uncomfortable, but you're not going to crush your goals by sitting idle, doing the bare minimum, and following the herd. It's time to LEVEL UP.
