The Youngest One in the Room

Synopsis

What does Forrest Gump have in common with each of us? A life of unplanned yet meaningful escapades.At least, that is what Dayna Adelman believes. In her literary debut, Dayna takes you on a behind-the-scenes journey through the first decade of her career—as the youngest one in the [board] room. She showers us with personal anecdotes and adventures as she distills her lessons learned along the way—all while living Gump&’s mantra: &“Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you&’re gonna get.&” We first meet Dayna as a twenty-something straight out of college—in the waning days of the global financial crisis, and the book comes to a conclusion when she is a thirty-something—during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dayna regales her readers while meandering through a significantly defining decade—from the entry-level days at a New York City-based communications consultancy through her rise as a corporate affairs professional at a multinational corporation. Whether you are just entering the workforce, in a place of professional transition, or looking to understand the past to define the future, Dayna&’s human approach to sharing her lessons inside and outside the boardroom—while revealing both the joy and pain of the self-discovery process along the way—will resonate with you. Be forewarned: this book does not contain a magic list of what you &“should do&” to achieve success. Rather, this is one young professional&’s personal account shared in the hope that readers will feel inspired to continue seeking their own fulfilling adventures.
