Mountain View to learn about his book 12 Life and Career Skills That Go Beyond the ClassroomAbout this EventFor many first-generation students and professionals, success has never followed a straight line.It has been shaped by family sacrifice, cultural expectations, unspoken pressure, and the constant navigation between home, school, and work. Long before leadership was a goal, responsibility, resilience, and survival were daily realities.In 12 Life & Career Skills That Go Beyond the Classroom, Oscar Garcia—first-generation leader, global keynote speaker, and empowerment-focused career strategist—shares what he has learned from growing up between worlds and building a life and career without a clear roadmap.From selling chorizo at flea markets to standing on global stages, Oscar offers raw, relatable stories and practical lessons on rebuilding confidence, making meaning of lived experience, and turning adversity into purpose. With warmth, honesty, and clarity, he shows how first-generation students and professionals learn to navigate complexity while authoring their own sense of belonging.Inside, you’ll learn how to:• Reclaim your identity and confidence—even when no one before you has gone first• Transform lived experience into clarity, direction, and leadership strength• Draw power from culture, family, and community rather than leaving them behind• Create opportunities using the skills life has already taught you• Choose where you belong and lead with purpose in every room you enterThis book is for the underestimated, the firsts, and the bridge-builders. It is for anyone who has questioned their belonging, felt caught between worlds, or carried the weight of expectations while trying to find their own voice.Oscar Garcia previously served as CEO of the Mountain View Chamber of Commerce. His work continues to focus on education, career development, and supporting first-generation and second-chance students.

In the meantime, we are working on an exciting list of virtual events for both adults and children and we look forward to exploring this new format with you.Sales equate success, and as with in-store events, booksales made from an independent bookstore benefit the author, publisher, and lead to future event bookings. Please help us keep the Bay Area the wonderful literary hub that it is by supporting your local Books Inc."
