1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, if you're listening right now, do me a

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: favor and turn on your notifications and subscribe to the podcast,

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: because so many of you have been telling me that

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: you haven't had access to the pod, and it makes

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: me sad because so many of you are dming me

6
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: and messaging me telling me that you're not getting notified

7
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: when I upload new episodes. Now I'm not sure why

8
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: that is, but we have uploaded two new episodes every

9
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: week on all platforms, absolutely free, every single week. I've

10
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: done it for the last four and a half years,

11
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: and I'll let you know if that ever changes. But

12
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: right now, there's two new episodes Monday and Friday every

13
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: single week. I don't want you to keep missing out,

14
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: so please subscribe and turn on your notifications, and I

15
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: can't wait for you to listen to our latest episodes.

16
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: It's important to know this. If you're accelerating your career,

17
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: and if you like that word, accelerate, you will disrupt

18
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: the status quo. As long as you're not doing anything

19
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: illegal or dodge or whatever it may be, it's okay

20
00:00:54,040 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: to rustle with some funders. You will everyone welcome back

21
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,680
Speaker 1: to On Purpose. I'm your host, Jay Shetty, and I'm

22
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: so grateful that you've come back for this solo episode.

23
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,839
Speaker 1: It's that time of year where I like to get

24
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: reflective and introspective because as it comes to the end

25
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: of a year, it's so important to use our time

26
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: wisely to think back as to what we would edit

27
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: for next year, what we would improve, what we would remove,

28
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: and how we're going to move forward now. Today's episode

29
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: is all about creative ways to accelerate your career in

30
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four and do the work you love. How

31
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: many of you know that you could be doing better

32
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: at work? How many of you know raise your hands,

33
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: nod your heads if you can not if you're driving.

34
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: How many of you know that there's more you can

35
00:01:54,400 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: bring creatively, innovatively and productivity wise to your workplace. And

36
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: how many of you know that you want to bring love, passion,

37
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: and enthusiasm because there's a promotion that you're after, there's

38
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: a shift that you're after, there's a transition that you're wanting,

39
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: and maybe some of you are even wanting to quit

40
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: your job and pursue your passion. If that's you, then

41
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: this episode is for you. If you know a friend

42
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: who's going through a tough time period right now at work,

43
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 1: trying to figure it out. This is the episode for them. Now.

44
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: You might be wondering why the title has twenty twenty

45
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: four in it. You're like, Jay, it's twenty twenty three.

46
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: I know it's November, but why are we talking about

47
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. I'll tell you why. It's because twenty

48
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: twenty four begins now. Actually, every day you will experience

49
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: for the rest of your life from now on in

50
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: your life begins now. It all begins right now. And

51
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: what's really interesting is that we often wait for the

52
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: date to come around to make a change, to make

53
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: an effort to think about it. We wait till the

54
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: first of January to think, well, what do I want

55
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: to do this year? And by then it's too late.

56
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: It's almost like you wake up in the morning and

57
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: you think, well, what do I want to do today?

58
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, that is a wasted thought, right,

59
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: You've wasted time because you haven't given yourself the opportunity

60
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 1: to go straight into the groove with being active, being energized,

61
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: being engaged. But now you're spending half the day trying

62
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: to figure it out. It's the same as what we

63
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: do for entertainment. We sit down to say, well, what

64
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: should we watch tonight? And you spend an hour and

65
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: a half looking for something to watch. Maybe you watch

66
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: ten minutes of it, you don't like it, and you

67
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: turn it off. Right, how many times have you done that?

68
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: We've all been there, and it's really interesting, isn't it.

69
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: We wait till the moment in order to think about

70
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: how important it is now that doesn't matter for some things.

71
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: It works And you may be thinking, well, Jay, how

72
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: does that count as being present? Well, it does because

73
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: you're valuing the present so much because you realize the

74
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: effect it has on the future. That is what makes

75
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: you want to be present right now. Now, there are

76
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: five weeks left till the end of the year, and

77
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: those can be used to prepare for next year's wins.

78
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: They can be used proactively be ready in your mindset now.

79
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: By the way, at this time of year, I also

80
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: take a break. I also look forward to resting and

81
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: refueling and rejuvenating, and that's part of what's going to

82
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: help me win for next year. So I'm not taking

83
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: away celebrating and having a good time. I love to

84
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: do all that, and I will be doing all of

85
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: that as well. But I also want you for the

86
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: time you still do have at work to think about this.

87
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: The time that I am at work, I always use

88
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: the end of year to plan for the year ahead.

89
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: It gives me a head start next year when I

90
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: get back after the holidays, and it stops me from

91
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: trying to play catch up with myself. How many times

92
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: do you come back in January and you think you're

93
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: already behind, right, you think you've already missed out on something,

94
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: You already think there's too many opportunities. You already think that, oh,

95
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: I should have been ahead, I could have done this,

96
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: And then that that perpetuates the thought of the year.

97
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: That becomes the thought of the year, right, it becomes

98
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: the focus of the year, and playing catch up. I

99
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: should have done more last year, I should have done this,

100
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: I could have done that. And it's so important to

101
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: get ahead for yourself. This isn't about you ahead of

102
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: your friends, your colleagues, the people that you work with.

103
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: It's not about that. It's about you feeling in charge

104
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: and control of your life. Now. This was inspired because

105
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: I speak to so many organizations. Just this month, I've

106
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: spoken to some of the biggest, biggest corporate companies in

107
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: the country, and I've been traveling around speaking to them,

108
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: and I'm sitting down with individuals that work inside these organizations.

109
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: Some of them are even entrepreneurs outside the organizations. And

110
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: I talk to people about stories of their experiences, why

111
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: they stayed at a company for thirty years, why they

112
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: left after three months, what made them switch career paths.

113
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: And today I want to share with you some of

114
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: my biggest takeaways as well, because I think people often

115
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: forget that I alway worked in the corporate world as well,

116
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: and during that time, I also wanted to accelerate my career.

117
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to accelerate my career creatively, I wanted to

118
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: accelerate my career professionally, and I wanted to find ways

119
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: of being better and standing out. How many of you

120
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: right now feel like you're always fitting in, You're not

121
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: standing out, You're being unnoticed right, No one's spotting your potential,

122
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: people are not seeing you for who you are and

123
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: what you can bring, and you're actually feeling like you

124
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: just blend in. Right. If you're feeling that way, this

125
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: is what you need to think about. So let's dive

126
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: into number one. This is without a doubt, I would

127
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: say this is the most important skill in life, right,

128
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: not just at work. This is the most important creative

129
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: skill in life. And it will sound like it isn't,

130
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: but I want you to give it a moment. So

131
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: the skill is hidden behind this lesson, and the lesson

132
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: is understand your company's algorithm. Now, you may hear words

133
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: like algorithm related to social media, related to the Internet,

134
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: related to the online world. Right when we talk about

135
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: TikTok or Instagram, everyone's always talking about the algorithm. Now,

136
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: if we really think about it for a second, all

137
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: algorithm actually means reading the dictionary. Definition is a process

138
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: or set of rules to be followed in calculations or

139
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: other problem solving operations, especially by a computer. Now, the

140
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: part that I love about this is a process or

141
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: set of rules to be followed, right in order to

142
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: have success, in order for something to work. And what's

143
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: really fascinating is that your company also has an algorithm.

144
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: And the skill, the number one skill that I believe

145
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: we all need is pattern spotting, pattern recognition, pattern analysis,

146
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: and then actions based on that pattern analysis. What I

147
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: find in an organization is most of us are listening

148
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: to what we're told to do to succeed and missing

149
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: what we see is what makes people successful. Let me

150
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: take that again. Most of us are listening to what

151
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: we're told to do to help us succeed and missing

152
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: what we see helps people succeed. I'll give you an example.

153
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: When I was working in the corporate world, we were

154
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: told that to be really good at our careers, we

155
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: had to get good at Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint.

156
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: And that seemed like a fairly small goal. It feeled

157
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 1: fairly reachable for most people, and it probably wasn't challenging enough.

158
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: But then when I looked around at the people who

159
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: were giving our presentations, who were talking, who were guiding us,

160
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: that wasn't their skill set. Their PowerPoint didn't look the

161
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: best to me, their Excel spreadsheet didn't look the best

162
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: to me. All of a sudden, the pattern that they

163
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: were seting and sharing and the pattern that they were

164
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: living were two different things. And that's when I started

165
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: to take notice and think, well, what is that person

166
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: done at this company to succeed? What have they done?

167
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,719
Speaker 1: And by the way, our minds, generally wired for negativity,

168
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: will come up with all sorts of reasons. Oh they've

169
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: been doing something dodgy. Oh they've just been sucking up.

170
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: Oh they've just been putting in extra time. Like our

171
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: mind will come up with easy answers in order for

172
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: us to not have to do the hard work. Our

173
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: mind often tells us everyone else got there easy, so

174
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: that we don't have to do the hard work. Right,

175
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: our mind makes other people's sacrifices and shifts and challenges

176
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: seem easy so that we can avoid hard work. So

177
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: I want you to take a real look at this.

178
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: I want you to really pay attention to this right.

179
00:09:55,800 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: Understand your company's algorithm. Spot the pattern, what working for people?

180
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,599
Speaker 1: What is shifting for people? Look at the pattern, not

181
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: the person. We look at the person and we think, oh,

182
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 1: I don't like them. I don't like their personality. I

183
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 1: don't really I don't know how they ever made it there.

184
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: I don't get it. Don't look at the personality. Look

185
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: at the pattern. What is the pattern? What I found

186
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: in the companies that I've worked in is that it

187
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 1: was about who you know. For a lot of people,

188
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: it's about who you know. Now you may sit there

189
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: and say, well I don't want to know that person. Well,

190
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 1: then the chances are that we won't do well at

191
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: that company. Right, Okay, who do I need to know?

192
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: Another thing that I saw is that it was people

193
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: who were able to go above and beyond. The people

194
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: who were succeeding were not the people who were doing

195
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: the bare minimum, were not the people who were shirking responsibility.

196
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: It was people who were able to take responsibility in

197
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: areas that matter, right, in areas that matter to the company.

198
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: This is a big point. Pattern spotting is not just

199
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: about spotting the pattern that makes sense to you. It's

200
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: spotting the patterns that make sense to the company. So,

201
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: for example, when I joined this corporate company that I

202
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: worked for, I noticed that the pattern was in line

203
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: of growing the digital side of the business. That was

204
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: the area of focus. That's what they wanted to build on.

205
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: And if I started notice that, it would have made

206
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: no sense for me to not give my energy to

207
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: that area. Right. That is so important to not let

208
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: go of that energy to build and develop that area.

209
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: If the company is focusing on digital focus, right, it's

210
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: focusing on certain aspects of the business, It's so important

211
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: that your energy and your skills get directed there as well.

212
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: So how do we study patterns effectively. Number one, select

213
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: your case study i e. People who get promoted, and equally,

214
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: you could study why people don't get promoted. Right. I

215
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: literally did that. I looked at people who are succeeding,

216
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: and I looked at people who were failing. Then I

217
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: analyzed why it was again not focusing on personality traits,

218
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: but focusing on the pattern of how they operate inside

219
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: the organization. And third, this is really important, emulate. Don't

220
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: imitate when we're imitating, when we try and be like someone,

221
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: when we try and kind of trying to shadow someone's personality,

222
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't work. We have to emulate that energy. Now

223
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: you mean always sitting there going jay Wow, this sounds

224
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 1: like I'm playing games. It's not. It's pattern spotting. Everything

225
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,680
Speaker 1: in the world, whether it's investing, whether it's real estate,

226
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: whether it's a healthy relationship. Life is all about pattern spotting.

227
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: What does it mean When you're looking at how someone

228
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: builds good habits, it's pattern spotting. When you're analyzing someone's discipline,

229
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: what are you looking at? It's pattern spotting. Look at

230
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: the patterns inside your organization. Some of these patterns become

231
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: easier to track through technology, right, and see how many

232
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,599
Speaker 1: emails someone sends. You can see the type of conversation

233
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: that they leave to have on a phone call versus

234
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: an email. You can see the meetings and the way

235
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: people navigate them. This is number one. Now number two

236
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,679
Speaker 1: kind of link to the first point, but identify your

237
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 1: organization's growth area. Now, this will likely be a technology.

238
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: It could be AI, it could be a social media platform,

239
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: it could be augmented reality, it could be communication through technology.

240
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: Identifying your company's growth technology is probably one of the

241
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: biggest investments you can make right now. People who are

242
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: able to use chat GBT effectively are massively effective in

243
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: our company. It's a useful skill to have. And when

244
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: I see someone diving into that, when I see someone

245
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: engaged with that, it's exciting for me because I'm thinking

246
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 1: to myself, Okay, this is the person that's understanding this

247
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: platform and this app and I now know that we

248
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: have someone on the team who's thinking about that. This

249
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: applies to social media too. If someone's able to focus

250
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: deeply on a platform and understand how it works, that's

251
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: really useful. This is what I was I remember when

252
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 1: I joined the corporate company I worked at, they were

253
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: working on social media as a big part of their

254
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: digital strategy. So inside the digital growth area, there were

255
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: many different things. There was crypto, there was VR, and

256
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: there was social media. Now here's the personalization part. Crypto

257
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: wasn't exciting to me at the time. By the way,

258
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: this was ten years ago before crypto was relevant. Now

259
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: you may say, Jay, you're an Idia. If crypto was

260
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: excited to you, it'd have been very lucrative. Sure, but

261
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: I didn't enjoy it. It's so important that I'm spotting

262
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: the growth area in my company that I love. Why

263
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: because I'll excel at it. Why because I'll perform better

264
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: at it if I'm aware of it. Right, So let

265
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: me focus first on that. Second of all, now that

266
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: I've focused on that area, that's why I chose social media.

267
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: For me, studying and learning about social media was so

268
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: much fun. It was so exciting, it was so interesting.

269
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: It was so enthralling, genuinely, like I was like a

270
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: little kid every day trying to learn about this new

271
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: thing that I knew nothing about, right, knew nothing about?

272
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: And so I want you to think about it. What

273
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: do you know nothing about? But that is a growth

274
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: there in your company. Most of us have never read

275
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: a book after we finished college. Most of us have

276
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: never tried to learn about a new platform since we

277
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: finished college. What can we do in order to change that?

278
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 1: How many of us are going to allow ourselves to

279
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: focus on a growth area inside our organization that could

280
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: make all the difference? Right? Okay? Number three, It's important

281
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: to know this that if you're accelerating your career, and

282
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: if you like that word accelerate, you will disrupt the

283
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: status quo. And I just I'm gonna say this because

284
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: I have to. As long as you're not doing anything

285
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: illegal or dodgy or whatever it may be, it's okay

286
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: to rustle some feathers you will. I remember that there

287
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: where senior people in my organization who were getting weirded

288
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: out by why this young person was trying to make

289
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: a change, trying to do things differently, coming up with

290
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: creative ideas, pitching them, and he was upsetting them. And

291
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: by the way, that was very weird for me. It's

292
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: amazing to me how some new person like me could

293
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: intimidate someone who'd been at the company for much longer

294
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: than me. And it's really uncomfortable to go through that.

295
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: But I want you to know that it's part of

296
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: the path. Right, Learning to be respectful, learning to let

297
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: your ideas talk for themselves and be disruptive and innovative

298
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: is the key. Disruption and innovation is not an act

299
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: of ego. Right, Disruption, creativity, innovation is not an act

300
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: of ego. It's not about being better than someone. It's

301
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: not about showing you are better than someone. It's not

302
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: about making someone else look bad. It's about presenting your

303
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: ideas in such a way that they are unstoppable that

304
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: someone can't ignore them. That's what we're after, that's the

305
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: goal of what we're trying to do and what we're

306
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: looking to do. And I think it's so important that

307
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: we remember that because it can so easily and very

308
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: quickly become an ego battle where it's now us against

309
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: the person. Notice how everything becomes personal, right we make

310
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: it about us against the person, instead of making about

311
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: the pattern, instead of making about the technology, instead of

312
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: making it about the creativity. Step number four. Let me

313
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: ask you this. If I told you I was going

314
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: to invest in one hundred hours of training for you coaching,

315
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: how would you decide how to spend that hundred hours

316
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: on things you're good at, things you're average at, or

317
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: things that you are bad at. How would you decide

318
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: to spread that hundred hours if you had the ratio

319
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: of figuring it out? So for most people, a lot

320
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: of people will go thirty three, thirty three, thirty three.

321
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: Just make it balanced. It makes sense. Some people will say, well,

322
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: ten ten, eighty, I'll spend most on what I'm bad at.

323
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: Some people will say, okay, well I will spend the

324
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: most on what I'm average at, so let me invest

325
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,719
Speaker 1: in the middle part. Some will say, let me invest

326
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: in what I'm good at. Now there's no right or

327
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: wrong answer, But when they studied the healthiest, wealthiest, and

328
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: wisest people on the planet, they found that their breakdown

329
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 1: was eighty ten ten or one hundred zero zero. The healthiest, wealthiest,

330
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: and wisest people in the world went all in on

331
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: their strengths and didn't focus as much on their weaknesses.

332
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: So if they were already great at something, they invested

333
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: in it, because then they would become world class in it.

334
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: If you are a phenomenal creative, if you're phenomenal with

335
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: the technology, if you're a phenomenal strategist, go all in.

336
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: Read every book, go on every course, go on every program,

337
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: you will become unstoppable. Now here's the caveat. When it

338
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: comes to your hard skills, focus on your strengths. When

339
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: it comes to your soft skills, focus on your weaknesses.

340
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: If you're weak in empathy, in compassion, in communication, you

341
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: must work on it. But when it comes to your

342
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 1: hard skills strategy, Excel, PowerPoint leadership, make sure that you

343
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: focus on your strengths and go all in on them right,

344
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: become unstoppable, become phenomenal at those hard skills. Focus on

345
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: your strengths. See, there's this beautiful quote by Albert Einstein

346
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: where he said that everyone's a genius. But if you

347
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: judge your fish by its ability to climb a tree,

348
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 1: it will spend its whole life believing that it's stupid.

349
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: And so many of us are fishes trying to climb

350
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: a tree. So many of us are birds trying to swim,

351
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 1: So many of us are giraffes trying to be lions.

352
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: So many of it's a lions trying to be zebra.

353
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: And the list goes on, right. But our zone of genius,

354
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: our zone of flow, our zone of connection with ourselves

355
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: and being aligned with ourselves where we've become unstoppable should

356
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: not be ignored. And there's this incredible conversation that I

357
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: talk about often between Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs. And

358
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: Steve Wozniak goes up to Steve Jobs and he says,

359
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 1: what do you even do? He says, what do you

360
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 1: even do? You're not a coder, you're not an artist,

361
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: you're not a marketer. What do you even do? And

362
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: Steve Job says, musicians play their instruments. I play the orchestra.

363
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: Now we'll take the ego out of that for a second,

364
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 1: but what that means is that his ability was not

365
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,439
Speaker 1: to play the cello, the bass or the violin. His

366
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: ability was to bring it all together. What is your

367
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: ability play to that work, to that show that off

368
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: at work? And this is a big part of it,

369
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: demonstrate it. A lot of us want to defend our strengths,

370
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: but we don't demonstrate it. We want to be rewarded

371
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: for a strength we haven't shown yet, but we're not

372
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 1: demonstrating it. This was one of the biggest mistakes I

373
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: made in the workplace, where I was hoping someone would

374
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: spot my talents rather than me being able to demonstrate them.

375
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: Find creative ways. Creative outlets. Take on an extra curricular

376
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: at work, take on a group project at work, display it,

377
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: show it. People win them when they do things to

378
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: help their workplace win. Right. Do the thing that actually

379
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: helps your workplace win, not just that feels comfortable and

380
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 1: makes you feel busy. Right. A lot of people on

381
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: our teams in the past and companies used to organize

382
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: things that were easy for them, but the company didn't

383
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: really value it. Again, I'm sharing this. If you want

384
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: to win in any era, even if you're an entrepreneur,

385
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: if you're an entrepreneur, you have to do this. You

386
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: have to focus on your strength. So many entrepreneurs that

387
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: I know are forcing themselves to be influencers, or so

388
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: many influencers and are forcing themselves to be CEOs, and

389
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: both of those are taking away from the world your gift. Now. Fifth,

390
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: it's so important to creatively network. Now, what is creative networking?

391
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 1: A lot of people think networking is going to events

392
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: and handing out your card. It isn't. Creatively networking is

393
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 1: making sure that you reach out to everyone you want

394
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: to learn from in your organization. Now you may send

395
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: one hundred emails. I remember I used to email a

396
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: managing director every week, maybe even two to three, and

397
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: maybe out of the fifty managing directors I emailed, maybe

398
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 1: only two or three actually met me. But guess what

399
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: those two or three changed my career. Now you may say, oh,

400
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: that SAME's desperate. I don't want to be reaching out

401
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: to fifty people. I feel uncomfortable. I've found that the

402
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: person playing the game of numbers will never lose. If

403
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: you're not on one hundred doors, you will get one

404
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 1: to ten to open. If you're not on one thousand doors,

405
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: you will get one to one hundred to open. If

406
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,880
Speaker 1: you're knock on a million doors, et cetera, et cetera,

407
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: et cetera. You get the point. A lot of us

408
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: are knocking on two doors, and when those two doors

409
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: don't open, we feel disheartened. Some of us are knocking

410
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: on twenty doors and then getting exhausted. The more doors

411
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: you knock on, the more we'll open up. It's just numbers, right,

412
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: It's just numbers. I remember the day after I realized

413
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: that I was struggling at a point in my career,

414
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: I sent a thousand emails to everyone I knew, creative emails,

415
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 1: personalized emails, focused emails. How are you using technology to

416
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: stay connected to people I love? Using social media to

417
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: stay connected to people that I love and appreciating Networking

418
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: is not a technique of being sleazy, and it's keeping

419
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: in touch with people you deeply care about. But if

420
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: someone's in touch with me consistently, effectively, healthily, then it

421
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: becomes so much more easier to collaborate and connect. Now

422
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: I want to share with you a couple more things.

423
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: Number six is flow state. Flow is a book. It's

424
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: a brilliant book. And flow state is a state where

425
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: we see artists, celebrities, authors, athletes all in the zone.

426
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: How many times have you seen Lebron James and thought

427
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: in the zone, or you saw Beyonce send or in

428
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: the zone, or you saw whoever it is that you

429
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: admire and respect Taylor's swift, right. Taylor's swift is in

430
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: the zone. Right. And when we're watching these people, we

431
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 1: always think, well, they're special, they're gifted. Really, they've just

432
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: tapped in to flow and flow state is where your

433
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: challenge meets your skills. Often what we experience is our

434
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: challenges above our skills, which is where we feel disheartened,

435
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: we feel unmotivated, we feel depressed. Right when your challenge

436
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: is above your skills, it can be demotivating. And then

437
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 1: some of us it expends to opposite, where our skills

438
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: are above our challenge. We feel bored, we feel lethargic,

439
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: we feel like we're not curious anymore. So what Flow state?

440
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: In the book, what Flow says is we have to

441
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: find a state where our challenges meet our skills. So,

442
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: at any given time in your career in twenty twenty four,

443
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 1: ask yourself, do you need to improve your challenge, increase

444
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: your challenge, or do you need to increase your skills? Now,

445
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: if it's your challenge, what are you going to do

446
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: to challenge yourself? Are you going to increase the scope?

447
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: Are you going to increase the scale? Are you going

448
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: to increase the level of responsibility? What are you doing

449
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 1: to challenge yourself? Challenge doesn't mean doing something entirely new.

450
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: It could mean doing something bigger. It doesn't mean doing

451
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 1: something bigger. It could be doing something with more detail.

452
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean just doing something with more detail. It

453
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 1: could be doing lots of harder tasks and doing less.

454
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: It could be doing more right, challenges can look like

455
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: so many things. What's your challenge in twenty twenty four

456
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: that you're taking on? And what's the skill you need?

457
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: What's the skill you need to invest in? I want

458
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 1: you to reflect on that because literally that those two

459
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:53,320
