Last year, I wrote a blog post called A Note to any Student who wants a Job Someday, and I was startled at the huge volume of questions and emails I received from readers.  In the blog post, I argued that students should go beyond their standard school work and develop an  alternative Success GPA™ that focused on three types of key human capital: Awareness, Social, and Problem-Solving.
Inspired by the feedback from all of you, I have since:
Measured the Success GPA™ of over 500 college students and correlated their Success GPA with key outcomes such as job acquisition and on-time graduation. You can see the findings below. They're pretty amazing findings, especially the impact of Social Capital.
Written a book called 
The Success GPA: You are More Than Your Grades and Test Scores. You can 
read an excerpt and 
order a copy here.
  
     
  
I'm now building partnerships with high schools and colleges  who want to explore how The Success GPA™ drives key outcomes in their organization.  Here's the current research report.
