🎙️ Trying to reinvent yourself alone? Here’s why that never works—and what to do instead.
Today in The Reinvention Room, I'm joined by Truett (True) Black, a lifelong learner and executive coach based in Taipei. True has spent years supporting individuals and teams through moments of real change, helping them find clarity, purpose, and practical ways forward.
Our conversation explores how our own experiences shape our paths, why community and mentorship matter more than ever, and the real value of lifelong learning, especially when you're feeling stuck.
đź’ˇ Here's what we cover in this episode:
🎤 Why lifelong learning matters—but only if you apply it.
🎤 The power of experiential learning—reflecting intentionally to move forward.
🎤 Why community and mentorship aren’t just nice to have—they’re essential.
🎤 The role AI can play—leveraging your real-life experience to stay relevant.
🎤 The necessity of letting go—True gets real about the discomfort in change, and why embracing it matters.
🎤 Practical tips for finding mentors who genuinely understand your journey.
🎤 How self-accountability and support from others combine to create lasting change.
🎧 In True’s own words:"We need other people. You simply can't do it alone. Get support."
