The Unspoken Rules of Career Advancement by Gorick Ng

​The FGHA x H4A Alumni Speaker Series presents:

​The Unspoken Rules of Career Advancement
Gorick Ng, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Unspoken Rules

What separates the professionals who get poached for closed-door opportunities that move them forward in their careers and those who stumble and don't know why? Mastery of the unspoken rules of demonstrating the "Three C's," spotting opportunity, and stepping up without overstepping. In this interactive session, Gorick deconstructs the intentional but invisible work that insiders do and what you can do right now to apply their lessons to your own career and life.

​This event is co-hosted by First-Gen Harvard Alumni (FGHA) and Harvard Asian American Alumni Alliance (H4A).
