Fantastic book worth reading

Sukhinder's "Choose Possibility" is an absolutely terrific read and sheds clear light on how to apply an aggressive and proactively informed approach to making decisions and taking risks as one navigates his/her career. Readers will enjoy the concrete examples that Sukhinder provides as she navigated the maelstrom of challenges building a tech career in Silicon Valley. The messages will resonate with anyone who gets stuck or is held back by fear of making a decision. So many people I have worked with and coached get mired down when they focus on circumnavigating failure and it leads them to take fewer chances. This book will show you that you make your own luck and serendipity requires choosing possibilities and constantly moving forward. At Google we often preach that teams should fail fast and then do post mortems. Sukhinder puts that advice into digestible examples that will help you succeed in the long run and convert inaction into a "Grow or Go" mentality. Success is about inching your way and leaping your way towards your goals. No perfect plan will get you there but rather cyclical efforts that constantly renew as the world, life and opportunities change. Most importantly, Sukhinder walks the talk not only in sharing the path from her own career but in illuminating a path for others. The most powerful people are those who help power flow to others and Sukhinder's work demonstrates that principle. More power to Sukhinder and thanks to Sukhinder and this book, more power to you!

I very much enjoyed this book. I love the idea that it's helpful to really understand what the "cost" will be of *not* taking a chance by knocking on doors. The true cost of applying for a job opportunity and not getting it is often just personal time and some pride, although we tend to overweight our fear of rejection up front. The upside of applying can be much greater and persistence pays off. Sukhinder Singh Cassidy brings thoughtful examples and anecdotes that help to ground the frameworks introduced in the book. I hope my kids will read this book in the future when they look for their first (and second...) jobs -- reminding them of the values of casting a wide net, not being afraid of rejection, and putting oneself in the right environments to connect with opportunities are all critical. This book has many positive messages that are great for those joining the workforce, are early in their careers, or are ready for greater challenges!
