IN EPISODE 98:
Improving our personal -- and even interpersonal -- effectiveness has always been important, but it's even more important today, argues Dr. Sue Ashford. In Episode 98, Sue explains why the key to big growth is small experiments: collecting feedback, testing assumptions, and making small adjustments. The trick isn't just to have lots of experiences, but to hone the intentions we bring to each one so that we maximize its learning value. From tapping your closest contacts for feedback to designing the right tests to track your growth, you'll find that your next big step forward may come from looking ahead, not back.
