Great workshop today from Greenhouse and Phil Cooke at CBS Radford.
A few highlights:
Stop multi-tasking. You can’t, and the more you try, the worse it’s gonna get.
A resume is out. A bio is in. People want a story. Tailor that story to your specific audience, keep it short and sweet, but don’t fake it!
Focus more on your skills and less on the industry you’re involved in – deepen your vision for your talent.
Stop saying yes. There’s power in “No”
Learn how to read a room – people skills, relationships, read between the lines, and sometimes, just shut up and listen.
How to WIn Friends and Influence People – Dale Carnegie
Stop focusing on your passion. Figure out the One Big Thing you were born to do.
Understand the one, most important question for everyone you’re talking to – “Why should I care?” aka, what’s in it for me?
Stop ignoring your story. And do your research.
