We might have started with nothing, but we do not consider ourselves "self-made men." We've been blessed with incredible role models, mentors, and diverse sets of leaders. We've learned as much from the advice we took as much as the advice we passed on. In this episode, we talk about the advice that truly changed our lives and offer our thoughts on how to interpret and act on the advice in your career.
Also in this episode:
- The advice you don't take can be just as powerful as that which you heed
- Most advice is based on other people's perception and their unique strengths (not yours)
- Advice is limited to the coach's experience
- If you're not getting good advice, change your inner circle
- Unintentional advice is often the best kind
- Who you should talk to before a major career transition
- How to tell the difference between good and bad advice
- No one can tell you your truth
- Consider the source when offered advice; where did it get the person offering the advice?
