We survived busy season and are finally back!

Today, we discuss my top 10 lessons from Q2 for your knowledge, wisdom and application:

  1. Be patient, never passive (The Sign-off Stack and Optimal Asymmetry career strategies)
  2. To be the real deal: show, don't tell but don't show too much (On being brilliant enough, and no more)
  3. What's sweet is sweet but short and sweet is even sweeter (On networking with execs)
  4. Expectation control is career alchemy (Kant, Phenomenology, & Over-delivering through simply under-promising)
  5. You are not what you have, but what you give (On qualities & The Four Agreements)
  6. Wherever you are, there you are (On projecting the life you want to live)
  7. With people, always guess up, never guess down (On giving the benefit of the doubt in networking)
  8. Youth and a notebook is a charming thing (Sun Tzu's wisdom of why there are masters all around us)
  9. It's about what you know, who you know, who knows you and what they know you for (The Diary of A CEO's lesson on knowledge, skills, network, social proof, reputation & The Networking Equation)
  10. People who forget you seem to owe you (Robert Cialdini's Reciprocity x Dale Carnegie's Remembering names principles)

And of course, we chat about more :)
