10 things that helped me advance my career
Porter Tun - 09.00
There are no secret tricks or shortcuts to leveling up in your career: talent and hard work are still the main recipes for success. But in terms of mindset, there are some things that can make a difference. And while I don’t claim to know all the answers, I’d like to share 10 tips that helped me in my career. In this keynote I’ll cover topics like passion, expression, communication, perception, patience, empathy, risk & creativity. While the title makes it look like a Buzzfeed-style article, these 10 tips & tricks are a guideline in a series of stories I’ll share with you. Take from it what you want. No success guaranteed though. And no refunds! 😉
