1122: How to Find the Work You’re Wired to Do with William Vanderbloemen

I think most uber successful people will tell you, the more successful you get in life, the fewer people there are that will tell you the truth. Establish those friendships now before you hit the top of whatever ladder you're climbing, because once you get to the top, it'll be very hard to find friends that'll be honest with you. That's William van der Blumen. He's the founder of the Vander Blumen Search Group, where he helps organizations identify the best talent for teams. He's also the author of two books, Be the Unicorn and Work How You're Wired, where he discusses the research that his team conducted around the habits that help professionals excel at and enjoy their work.

So you'll learn one, the one habit that puts you ahead of 90% of people, two, how to learn what you don't know about yourself, and three, the one skill to work on regardless of your job. And if you want a quick summary write-up of the actionable takeaways that William shared, I recommend you sign up for the free gold nugget email newsletter, which you can find at awesomeatyourjob.com.
