After years of college life, most students know their way around a campus and how to navigate the everyday customs and subtle messages. So how does that translate into the business world? For a lot of graduates, not so much. That’s where Peter Yawitz comes in. He has a web site, a blog and a new podcast called Advice from Someone Else’s Dad where he tried to help young professionals manage the transition to life in the working world Some of that advice is in a book called Flip-Flops and Microwaved Fish – Navigating the Dos and Don’ts of Workplace Culture. Yawitz is the founder of Clear Communications and coaches executives and other professionals on how to identify and communicate messages clearly to critical audiences. We spoke about some else’s dad.

You can find Peter Yawitz’s blog and podcast here.
