Great read! Highly Recommend!

"One of my favorite chapters was Chapter 8, Communication. This chapter connects directly to my job search and preparing to enter the workforce after graduation. Being able to clearly explain my experiences has shown me that strong communication can make a difference in whether you stand out or not."

Brandon Delaney

Favorite Chapter of Becoming Employable

"My favorite chapter was Chapter 9, Collaboration. A strong lesson is that collaboration is so crucial not only in our everyday lives but also in the workplace. The importance of trust as the foundation of effective collaboration really stood out to me."

Avery Boucher

Great read for college students!

"Chapter 13, 'Take 100% Responsibility', really grabbed my attention. Blaming other people for your own actions takes away your ability to fix the issue. This chapter reminded me that I need to take control of my responsibilities and take accountability for mistakes — that is the only way I will be able to grow."

Harleigh Whalen

Great Read

"My favorite chapter was Chapter 2, Self-Discipline. The idea that success more often depends on discipline than talent is so true. In golf, everyone starts from square one and you just have to want it more than everyone else. By improving my discipline now, I feel like I will be even more ready for any big opportunity that comes up."

Martin R Provino

GREAT PICK!

"Dr. Baptiste writes like someone who has actually been in the real world, not just someone listing tips they found online. The chapters are easy to get through and the advice feels practical — like stuff you can actually use, not just highlight and forget. The 30-day challenges at the end of each chapter are a nice touch too."

Sofia

Must read

"My favorite chapter was Chapter 4, Positive Attitude. The idea of holding a positive state of mind — expecting good things to happen and turning bad situations into opportunities — really relates to my life. I could have easily had a bad mindset, but I looked at it positively and motivated myself to finish strong."

Bailey

Amazing Read!

"My favorite chapter was Chapter 2, Self-Discipline. It talks about taking responsibility in your career — you should not wait for your supervisor to constantly remind you about a deadline. In the sports industry it is already so competitive, so being able to realize what you're responsible for should already be in your mind."

Kim Keebler

Great Book for Motivated Professionals

"My favorite chapter was Chapter 5: Self-Confidence. The most impactful lesson is to think of things you are good at in times of self-doubt. Doing this can help me have a more positive mindset, which will help with self-confidence and my long-term career success."

Christian Trento

Great Read for Students!

"Chapter 2 really spoke to me as I pride myself on being disciplined. The quote, 'discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most,' sums up discipline perfectly. Especially in this day of age with phones and social media, we have a hard time delaying our gratification and being patient."

Dylan Odud

MUST READ FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS AND ANYONE WANTING A SUCCESSFUL CAREER!!

"I found tremendous value in each chapter. Chapter 1, Create a Personal SWOT Analysis, has invaluable information for someone interviewing for a job. I plan on reading the book throughout my career because it has invaluable information that you do not learn in college."

Claire in Pennsylvania

VERY INSIGHTFUL: Self-Discipline (Ch2)

"This chapter was eye-opening for me as I was reading. I was able to see exactly where I lack self-discipline and even relate to how it is affecting both my personal and professional life. Overall this chapter was incredibly insightful — not only does it offer why self-discipline is essential but it outlines how to become more self-disciplined."

Jenna

GREAT INSIGHT AND ADVICE

"The most impactful lesson from Chapter 7 is the importance of putting in the work, showing up, and genuinely caring in order to be successful. Success is not handed to you — consistent effort and dedication are essential. This resonates with my life as a student-athlete where hard work and earning your spot are crucial."

Shannon

Self Discipline

"Chapter 2 is a powerful exploration of the crucial role self-discipline plays in personal and professional growth. The idea that self-discipline is not innate but can be cultivated through intentional practices is both encouraging and empowering. The practical advice, combined with a motivational tone, makes this chapter an invaluable resource."

James Hetzel

Goal Setting and Its Importance

"The most important takeaway from Chapter 10 was seeing how many elements it takes to create goals. Being able to identify 20% of my own goals can help me accomplish and gain 80% of the benefits. Being thorough with my goals will help me achieve them in my future career path."

Lizbeth Navas-Raudales

This book helps you find your best self and become employable! Great Read!

"Chapter 4, Positive Attitude, resonated with me the most. Keeping a positive attitude on the ice and in the classroom has always helped me succeed. Looking at failures as challenges and trying to fix them rather than fear them will help me in the years to come."

Robert Crum

A Book that EVERYONE Should Read

"The most impactful lesson from Chapter 5 was the importance of self-confidence in achieving success. The chapter's advice on practices like positive affirmations and visualizing your success will help me develop the mental toughness needed to advance in the competitive world of sports. Amazing book!"

Luis Bermudez

Great advice for everyone of all ages!

"I found a lot of value in Chapter 6, 'The Distinction Between Commitment and Interest'. He explains how interest is necessary to start your goal, but it means nothing when you don't commit to it. After reading this chapter I decided to stop letting fear and doubt control my life."

Savannah Beasley

Commitment vs. Interest

"I really enjoyed Chapter 6. I never saw the difference before, but after reading this, I now view interest as a potentially negative, toxic trait compared to commitment. In the competitive sports industry, small things like this make you stand out and help you climb the ladder within an organization."

Giovanni Lugo-Trejo

Great self-help book! It really prepares you for the professional world.

"Chapter 4, Positive Attitude, made it clear just how important one's mindset can be to cultivating a successful result. Dr. Baptiste noted how staying positive during an interview could be the make-or-break moment of one's career. Being positive can truly change the outcome of a situation."

Sophia Kruszewski

Great for Young Adults

"The chapter that most resonated with me was Chapter 18: Personal Values. The emphasis on the importance of personal values is crucial in one realizing their own perception of the world. I know that in the future I will purposefully seek out organizations that make me feel like I am positively impacting my community."

RayAnna Howard

Great book. It makes you reflect on situations in your life.

"I genuinely thought it was a very direct way of talking to the reader and it connected with me and my personal life. Having a positive attitude is a skill, and it is one that is hard to master. If you change your mindset, failure is a good thing — it teaches you what you didn't know and prepares you even more for the future."

Dagoberto

Worth the read!

"Great read! Worth the read for all professionals. In this changing world this book offers some great techniques and advice for all demographics. The best part — it's intriguing too!"

Jeffrey S.

Well thought out with great advice

"This is a very eye-opening book. Chapter 2, Self-Discipline, emphasizes that the time you take to focus on your goals will only benefit you to be one step closer to them every day. I enjoy how the chapter shows there are ways to become more disciplined like having consistency, setting mini milestones, and reviewing your day."

Mikaela Shendock

Good advice for a small price

"Becoming Employable not only gives tips on how to stand out in a competitive job market but also encourages the reader to conduct a personal SWOT analysis. Dr. Baptiste's 'take-charge' attitude compels the reader to take an honest and humble look at their inner traits and make the decision to succeed."
