ABOUT THE BOOK
Flying Without a Helicopter teaches readers what it takes to be successful in the workplace and how to get there. It is about parenting, educating, and managing to help young adults build skills to succeed in an increasingly competitive world.
It advises parents, educators, and managers, as well as young adults, on what is important to help produce healthy, independent, self-reliant employees who will thrive on their own. The advice in this book is based on decades of experience in working and consulting with employees, managers, and executives in the business world.
Joanie Connell’s expertise on what it takes to make it in the real world of work has been accumulated over 20 years of experience in the workplace and over a decade of research in academic literature and the media.

“We all want children who are resilient, happy and successful in their lives, doing what they are fulfilled in doing. And, many parents only really learned how to parent by what was done to them by their parents. Some of that worked – some of it did not. This resource will open eyes and equip parents with skills to ‘change their parenting game’ into a more effective approach with the dear people who mean the most to them – their kids.”
~ THOMAS G. CRANE, AUTHOR OF THE HEART OF COACHING
“This work is a must read not only for leaders and managers but also for parents and educators who can work together to create balanced individuals who value understanding, collaboration ,and depth and aren’t pressured into taking shortcuts to achieve illusory perfection.”
~ Kathi Lutton, Principal & Patent Litigator at Fish & Richardson
~ KATHY LUTTON, PRINCIPAL & PATENT LITIGATOR AT FISH & RICHARDSON
“Assumptions and stereotypes about younger workers abound. They become one more hurdle for younger workers to jump as they strive to succeed at work. Joanie Connell’s book Flying Without a Helicopter helps parents, educators, and managers cut through the myths and labels young people have today and gives practical tips to help them succeed at work.”
