In this week's episode, we are joined by Mark Herschberg. Mark is the author of The Career Toolkit - Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You. He believes that the fundamental skills for success are universal. These include leadership, communication, negotiation, and networking. He believes that these skills are often overlooked given that these are the most important.

From a high school nerd to a sales manager. He realized that his childhood has limited him in doing his best. He didn't do well in communicating. He wasn't good at building relationships. Only when he became a manager that he thought no one ever teaches these things. Networking according to him is more than the passing of business cards but more of building a relationship rooted in trust. It is learning to give before getting anything.

He also spoke about the importance of being an effective leader. For him, a good leader is someone who elevates others. It is allowing oneself to grow as a leader with your team. Empowering other people to be the best that they can is the most important role a leader has. While giving them the training that they need, you should be able to show respect and let them grow on their own.

There are more of these exciting success tips in this episode!
