Elementary school: sit still in your seat and don't talk to anyone or you'll get detention Real life: get your butt out of your seat and talk to everyone you can What else were you taught that is no longer relevant in your adult life? 🧐

So, what's happening behind the scenes after your interview? After a late stage/final interview, you might be feeling some anxiety when you don't immediately receive feedback from the company. {THREAD}

If you don't get feedback quickly, don't freak out! ✊🏼

Life is made up of habits. - If your habits include poor eating/zero exercise, your body, energy and output will reflect that - If your habits include obsession with your phone, Twitter and rage scrolling, your mental/spiritual health will reflect that

- If your habits include laziness or selfishness in regards towards those close to you, your relationships will reflect that Reminds of one of my favorite quotes: “how we spend our days, is, of course, how we spend our lives.”

Stop worry about stacking cash. Stack skills. Sales, marketing, coding, persuasion, psychology, design. Higher ROI.

the most valuable negotiation tool is NOT “whoever speaks first” that’s old school. ANCHORING for the win. Look it up.
It’s amazing to me that so many folks will invest 6 figures on a college degree, but would never even THINK of spending a few thousand dollars to hire a career coach. Strategic career coaching will become a booming niche in the next 3-5 years.

Today is the first day back at work after a 6 week paternity leave. After meeting and spending time with my new daughter, a statement I've made previously has never been more clearly true to me: Your work can mean SOMEthing. It just can't mean EVERYthing. #startup
