You have about 80,000 hours in your career: 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, for 40 years. This means your choice of career is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make. 80,000 Hours by Benjamin Todd is an in-depth guide to finding a fulfilling and impactful career in the age of AI.

Congratulations to Sanyu Dillon, President, Random House Publishing Group, on being inducted into the American Marketing Association New York Marketing Hall of Fame and receiving the prestigious “Spirit of New York” distinction. This honor recognizes leaders who embody the city’s creativity, cultural influence, and ability to shape markets.   Sanyu has transformed how books connect with readers through innovative, reader-focused marketing strategies and visionary leadership.    “The best marketing doesn’t feel like marketing,” Sanyu Dillon said. “It feels like someone understood you, and the best books do exactly the same thing. If we can keep doing that—building things that feel like understanding rather than interruption—then we’re doing more than our jobs. We’re making it a little more likely that the right story reaches the right person at the right moment.”   Join us in celebrating Sanyu's lasting impact on our industry and New York City!   https://lnkd.in/eUDERveW

Happy publication day to ANCHORED, ALIGNED, ACCOUNTABLE by Aiko Bethea, Esq., PCC (she-her)! From one of our most visionary leadership coaches comes a bold new framework for successfully navigating complicated interactions at work, at home, and in all our relationships—featuring a foreword by Brené Brown. “Drawing on her years of coaching experience, Bethea names what is often left unspoken in our workplaces: the dynamics of power, identity, and accountability that shape our relationships.”—Prentis Hemphill Renowned leadership coach Aiko Bethea gives us an innovative and road-tested framework for learning to show up in any situation authentically and not as the people-pleasing or conflict-avoidant versions of ourselves that have become second nature to so many of us. The framework lays out how to successfully navigate moments of conflict: first we must be anchored in our values and purpose, then our actions and principles must be aligned, and finally we must be accountable for our impact. With these three steps, we can remake ourselves and our connections with others, fostering constructive dialogue and creating opportunities for growth.
