Happy New Year to all of our listeners!

The beginning of a new year is a time to reset. Today's conversation is about a 6-part framework to allow you to build a system to help you reach your potential, to become the elephant in the content room so to speak. 

Here are the 6-parts we discuss:

  1. Intelligence - Commit to personal growth Y-O-Y by focusing on developing 1-2 skills (how long depends on scope and depth).
  2. Use your trunk - Be adaptable and learn how to problem solve.
  3. Stay on your toes - Plan ahead, but prepare to pivot based on information gathered along the way.
  4. Consume tons - Be attentive in content consumption, and bring in influences outside your area.
  5. Migrate - Get uncomfortable and be willing to explore different environments.
  6. Cultivate Community - Share what you learn and think about how you can set your teammates up for success.
