Young adults entering the workforce have been labeled many ways, including the “Me Generation,” “Generation Why” and the “Entitlement Generation.” They are often portrayed as being unrealistic, and behaving as if entitled to every benefit society can offer, including great jobs, higher salaries, flexible work schedules, material possessions, and all of the perks that come from years of hard work – but without the years, or the hard work. Regardless of their actual behavior or outlook, these generalizations put young adults at a disadvantage when they look for employment, and then after they begin their new jobs. To complicate matters, they’re also dealing with personal changes that can be both troublesome, and exciting. That’s where Pocket PorchLights comes in. Scott Abbott recognizes and appreciates the many challenges and opportunities that young adults face as they enter the “real world.” Thanks to his background, compassion and understanding – together with the input from hundreds of people (young and old) who he talked with about these realities – Scott provides endearing anecdotes, enlightening thoughts, and practical recommendations to help young adults and their families navigate, manage and enjoy their new jobs, and their new life. Pocket PorchLights is an important, fun, and meaningful book. It will challenge, educate, and inspire young adults of all ages.
Scott Abbott is an authentic leader. He’s an innovator, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. He has started companies, managed companies, and worked with hundreds of organizations, and thousands of people from around the world. He is a student and teacher of business and life. However, he thinks of himself foremost as a son, husband, father, friend and humanist. It was in this spirit of familial passion, caring, and commitment – coupled with what he calls his “heartfelt civic duty” – that he wrote Pocket PorchLights. When Scott’s not working, speaking, or coaching … he’s enjoying life with his family and friends. You can read more about Scott by visiting www.pocketporchlights.com.
