Marcos Salazar’s Summary

Marcos is an author, speaker, certified leadership coach, entrepreneur, and researcher who specializes in taking a psychological approach to illuminate the personal, social, and workforce challenges facing college graduates and young professionals in the 21st century. Marcos focuses on exploring how Generation Y and Millennials are changing the nature of work, culture of organizations, and creating a new type of knowledge worker. The purpose of this blog is to help young professionals acquire the knowledge, skills, and psychological intelligence needed to accelerate your personal and career development to create a successful and meaningful life.

Books
In his book The Turbulent Twenties Survival Guide: Figuring Out Who You Are, What You Want, and Where You’re Going After College, Marcos provided the first comprehensive understanding of the psychological challenges that graduates of Generation Y are experience as they make the transition from college to today’s brave new working world. The Turbulent Twenties Survival Guide is also the first book to provide insight into the widespread problem of Post-College Depression. Marcos is also the author of Feeling Good for Life, a self-help book that shows readers how to use the power of exercise and nutrition to conquer anxiety and depression.

Media & Speaking
A noted expert on the psychology of life after college, workforce trends, as well as career and professional development, Marcos has been featured in local and national media outlets including the New York Times, Washington Post, MSNBC, The Examiner, Boston.com and Filla.ca. Marcos continues to share his expertise at universities and conferences across the country and frequently speaks about creating meaning and purpose after college, career strategies for thriving in today’s rapidly-changing working world, the development of psychological intelligence for professional success, networking 2.0, personal branding in the Internet Age, and managing Generation Y.
