How To Catapult Your Career

THURSDAY LOOKING BEAUTIFUL, 55
AND MOSTLY SUNNY.
FRIDAY 52 WITH INCREASING
CLOUDS.
ANDREA OVER TO YOU.
HAS MOMENTUM AT WORK FLAT
BEHIND OR DID YOU EXPECT TO BE
FURTHER ALONG IN YOUR CAREER
PATH?
THIS MORNING WE WILL TRY TO
GIVE YOU A JOLT.
SHE HAS A NEW BOOK THE CAREER
CATAPULT.
THAT YOU FOR BEING HERE.
IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S FOR EVEN.
WHO DID YOU HAVE IN -- FOR
EVERYBODY.
WHO DID YOU HAVE IN MIND WHEN
YOU WROTE IT?
ANYBODY FEELING STUCK AND
CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR LIVES AND
CAREERS.
I WANTED THEM TO BE MORE
HOPEFUL.
WHAT I LOVE I GOT A LINKEDIN
MESSAGE FROM A PANKER THAT SAID
HE AND HIS NANNY ARE READING
THE BOOK.
SEPARATE BOOKS.
ON PAGE 39 YOU WROTE
SUSTAINING A CAREER WON'T CUT
IT.
THE AIM IS TO DISRUPT YOUR WORK
STYLE IN SUCH A WAY TO BURST
YOUR OPPORTUNITIES OPEN.
HOW DO YOU DO THAT?
PARTLY BECAUSE I FELT LIKE
WHAT WAS HAPPENING WAS I WOULD
GET PEOPLE COMING IN FOR
COACHING WITH ME AND THEY WOULD
SAY I WAS TAKEN BY SURPRISE,
SOME VERSION.
WHY?
YOU SHOULD NEVER FEEL LIKE YOU
HAD THE JOLT COME TO YOU.
YOU SHOULD JOLT YOURSELF.
SO, WHAT I WAS TRYING -- IN
MOST CASES, I WOULD SAY REFLECT
ON WHAT YOU ARE GREAT AT.
DIG DEEP.
SO THAT YOU CAN SOAR.
THERE IS FIVE DISCIPLINES
THAT YOU WRITE ABOUT IN YOUR
BOOK, DIG DEEP.
THINK ABOUT IT.
THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE --
WHAT YOUR CAPABILITIES ARE,
WHAT YOUR BLIND SPOTS ARE AS
WELL AS WHAT ARE YOUR PASSIONS
SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY CHANNEL ALL
OF YOUR MARKET VALUE AND
UNDERSTAND YOUR MARKET VALUE.
RIGHT.
THE NEXT ONE IS STALK
INNOVATION AND TRENDS.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
I WANT PEOPLE TO VISUALIZE
BEING A PANTHER.
THEY ARE NEVER QUIET FOR TOO
LONG, WATCHING EVERYTHING AND
WHEN TO POUNCE.
THAT'S WHAT I WANT PEOPLE TO
DO.
I STILL REMEMBER EARLY ON WHEN
I WAS VERY YOUNG HAVING LITTLE
MONEY BUT I SAW FedEx BOXES
OUT.
1999 I THINK DURING CHRISTMAS
SEASON AND I BOUGHT A COUPLE OF
FedEx SHARES AND THEY DID
GREAT.
THIS WAS WAY BEFORE ANYONE KNEW
TO DO THAT.
AS YOU WATCH FRIENDS, START
MAKING THE CONNECTIONS IN YOUR
HEAD.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN.
IN MY HEAD, IF THIS IS WHAT
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE DOING IN
THE FUTURE, BUYING CHRISTMAS
PRESENTS ONLINE, THESE GUYS ARE
GOING TO BE BIG.
BUT FOR YOUR CAREER, WHAT IS
GOING TO BE BIG?
PHYSICAL YOU ARE A FedEx -- IF
I WAS REALLY WRITING THIS BOOK
THEN, I WOULD HAVE SAID GO OUT
AND START A START UP THAT DOES
THE SHIPPING FOR ALL OF THESE
COMPANIES.
ANOTHER ONE IS JOLT YOUR
NETWORK.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
A LOT OF US HAVE FRIENDS.
WE HAVE OUR LINKEDIN PROFILES.
WE HAVE 500 FOLKS OUT THERE.
HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT NOW YOU
ARE RECOGNIZED AFTER DIGGING
DEEP, WHAT ARE YOU GOOD AT,
LOOKING AT TRENDS, WHERE DO YOU
WANT TO GO.
YOU SEE WHAT WILL CHANGE IN THE
FUTURE, HAVE YOU LOOKED AT YOUR
NETWORK AND SAID I DON'T HAVE
ENOUGH PEOPLE THAT INDUSTRY
THIS INDUSTRY THAT I'M
INTERESTED IN OR WHO GET AI,
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
I WILL MAKE ANY NETWORK
STRONGER AND ENGAGE WITH THEM.
I WILL REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT
IS IN THEIR MINDS.
YOU WRITE IN THIS BOOK, IT'S
NOT ABOUT QUITTING.
YOU NEED A PLAN.
EXACTLY.
A BLAIN AS WELL AS A -- PLAN AS
WELL AS A SERIES OF BEHAVIORS
THAT ARE NATURAL.
EASY WAYS TO MAKE IT A PART OF
YOUR DAILY LIFE.
IT'S BASED ON SURVEYS AN
COACHING.
ONE OF THE THINGS I NOTICED
ABOUT INNOVATORS, GOES 48% OF
THEM THINK OF NETWORKING AS A
CORE PART OF THEIR BUSINESS OF
WHAT THEY DO.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE
NONINNOVATORS, IT'S LIKE 10%.
THERE IS A DIFFERENT
ORIENTATION TO HOW THEY THING
ABOUT NETWORKING.
WE DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO GO
THROUGH THE OTHER TWO
