YPs Read
2023-08-01 17:15 - 18:15 | Falls Overlook Cafe by Stensland, 825 N. Weber Ave., Sioux Falls, 57103
YPs Read is a book club for members of the Sioux Falls Young Professionals Network. We will focus on reading Personal and Professional development books.
This month, we are reading Level Up.

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.

Read the book and come prepared and be ready to have a great discussion!
