Book Club with the Young Professionals – Take the Leap: Change Your Career, Change Your Life

Kick off the new year with the Greater Arlington Chamber of Commerce Young Professionals at our next book club meeting! This month, we’re reading Take the Leap: Change Your Career, Change Your Life by Sara Bliss.

Bliss is a New York Times bestselling author and a Forbes contributor who covers career pivots. For this book, she gathered the stories of more than 60 people who made a bold professional change. Among them: an attorney who became a surf instructor, a hairdresser who became a firefighter, and a real estate agent who became an award-winning chef. Along the way, she shares advice from well-known mentors, including entrepreneur Barbara Corcoran and beauty founder Bobbi Brown.

The book reads like a career roadmap built from real examples. It’s about what it takes to move toward the work you actually want: taking a risk, starting something new, or simply deciding not to settle.

For YP members considering a career change, eyeing a promotion into something new, or just wondering what a bolder next chapter might look like, this discussion is built for you. Come ready to talk about what holds people back from making a move, and which of these stories you can borrow from the next day.

Join us for real discussion and exceptional networking with ambitious, like-minded professionals who are serious about growth. Everyone is welcome, whether you finish the book or just want to be part of the conversation.
