Episode notes
Assemble A Personal Advisory Board
- Assemble a small advisory group to call for big career moments like salary negotiations or career changes.
- Choose members who each bring a specific skill (e.g., negotiation, career pivots) and will rehearse and hold you accountable.
Honest Candour Beats Praise
- A functional board must call you out and not be a group of yes-people.
- Seek advisors you admire who will give candid feedback and genuinely want to contribute to your growth.
Log Inspiring Encounters And Ask Specifically
- Record career moments and people who inspired you, then ask them if you can tap them occasionally for advice.
- Most people will say yes if you request occasional, specific support rather than daily help.
