I loved this book! Besides being well-written, the book is conversational in tone and the format of the chapters makes it enjoyable and practical: each chapter has "Reading Points" and "Remember These" sections bringing out the most important points for quick reference or review. As I begin my healthcare career, I can see myself truly using this book as a field guide. One of my favorite parts of the book is the "Rookie Mistakes." In spite of their noteworthy early successes, the authors reveal their vulnerability to mistakes made as they began their careers. These stories lend credibility to the authors' emphasis on integrity and authenticity by letting the reader know that although mistakes reveal our frailty, they do not have to define our careers. As a student, there are only a few books that truly stand out as must-have resources. This book answers questions about what to become while preparing for a healthcare career as well as what to do to open doors of opportunity to be hired. It is definitely practical, easy to read, and packed with information about what to do next.

This book was a very easy read and an excellent guide for those that are early careerists like myself. I am currently in the stage of applying for administrative fellowships and this guide has been so helpful to make sure I am at the top of my game. Thank you Laurie and Natalie for seeing the need to help early careerists succeed! It is nice to have practical real world tips and experiences aimed at those early in our careers. A lot of leadership books focus on those higher up in their careers, but this is the resource you need to help develop you into the leader you want to become. I would recommend this resource for all MHA’s working on their professional development to help build upon their inherent strengths for a successful future in healthcare.

I finally finished the book. My favorite part is just how real and authentic both Laurie and Natalie are. We are allowed to peek into their lives for just a bit of time and to see where they were just a few years back and continue to excel now. A lot of people make it sound like the road to success is impossible, but they are honest about mistakes and lessons learned. I have spent more time in the past few weeks trying to become more self-aware and learn who I am and this has helped. I love the practical advice, especially trying to learn as much as possible by signing up and volunteering for less than glamorous projects and assignments. I have learned so much from following that advice.
