Synopsis

You can effectively relate, connect, understand, and lead... if you have the right set of tools.

Each of us has two sets of tools. The first toolbox is filled with the technical skills, equipment, and devices needed to help us carry out our activities. The second toolbox is invisible. It contains the tools that we use in human interactions.

According to Harvard University, Stanford Research Institute, and the Carnegie Foundation, 85% of your success comes from our interpersonal skills and how you relate to others.

For the first time in American history, there are four generations coming together in the workplace. This brings a whole new set of challenges to modern business. Your Invisible Toolbox tackles the challenges many millennials face with a unique set of research-based tools, put together in an easy-to-apply road map to success.

When used well, the effects of using these tools are anything but invisible.

*Your Invisible Toolbox is a 2018 IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award Winner

Review

“I have had the pleasure of working directly with the Tero International team for many years. As expected, this book provides valuable insights, wisdom and advice to those who are committed to being successful in the workplace and in life. While the focus of the book is on improving the social and interpersonal skills of millennials, the guidance provided is equally applicable to Boomers, Gen X and Gen Z.” -Jay Byers, CEO, Greater Des Moines Partnership

"Crosbie and Rinner have purposely written themselves between the ‘rock and a hard place’ occupied by tens of millions of millennials in the American workforce... and handed them tools to earn a spot at the top."  –Dan Winters, WHO TV

 

"Your Invisible Toolbox is a wonderful compilation of actionable ideas and strategies to make you successful. It is primarily written for millennials starting their career or for individuals early in their careers. The book is arranged so it can be easily read but also so that I can be read in parts or used as a quick reference guide. It has a place in collegiate leadership classes and will be a benefit to all who read it. As a lifelong scientist and educator, who has interacted with thousands of students, I reccomend this book for anyone starting or about to start their career and also for those established individuals that want to be fully successful ." –Steven Leath, President, Iowa State University
