On this episode, I was honored to be joined by Dorie Clark to discuss her latest book, The Long Game, that was released on September 21, 2021. If you are seeking to build a sustainable, enduring, fulfilling career from decade to decade, The Long Game is a must on your reading list! And in this conversation, we delve into why Dorie’s concepts have such application to building Sustainable Ambition.
In the book, Dorie demonstrates how doing away with short term thinking and instead taking the long view can help us achieve any goal we set out for ourselves. Anything is possible if you have the courage and strategic patience, as Dorie says, to play the long game. Dorie shows us the way from making the time to put against the goals that will fulfill you to the strategies to win at playing the long game to tips to keep the faith.
In our conversation here, we talk about being realistic about the length of time it takes to reach our goals, how the long game can take courage yet also be freeing, the importance of setting a vision, how long-term thinking and the strategies Dorie lays out apply to any stage in one’s career, and much more.
Thanks so much for your incredible work and being on to share your insights with us, Dorie! I loved the conversation.
