You know you can do more with your career. And the future is going to demand more of you. The problem is, you are so busy keeping up with the day-to-day that you can't prepare for tomorrow. Stretch: How to Future-Proof Yourself for Tomorrow's Workplace gives you the confidence and knowledge you need to achieve your goals in an ever-changing world. Established experts Karie Willyerd and Barbara Mistick offer evidence-based guidance on obtaining the skills you will need to thrive in tomorrow's workplace.

If you are like other professionals, your biggest worry is becoming obsolete at work. Shifting technologies, fierce competition among corporations, and recruitment occurring on a global level would give anyone concern. To remain relevant in spite of change, you need to know how to learn in any situation, open your thinking to a world beyond where you are now, connect to the people who can help you make your future happen, seek experiences that will prepare you for tomorrow, and stay motivated through the ups and downs of a career so you can bounce forward.

Stretch offers five practices to help you start, enhance, and lengthen your career by anticipating the needs of tomorrow's work environment. Don't become obsolete. Instead, stretch to achieve your potential.

rethinking how you think about work.

I like this book because they talk about having a growth or fixed mindset and because they tell you about how things will change. I feel like it’s easy to get comfortable and never think about how the world is gonna change, so reading this book was good for me because it helped open my mind about the possibilities of the future.
