115. How to Be Dangerous at School and Work (10 Traits of People Who Are Hard to Overwhelm)
Description
The most dangerous people in school and work aren't always the smartest in the room or the ones grinding the hardest. They're the ones who are steady, focused, and nearly impossible to knock off course.
In this episode of the Learn and Work Smarter podcast, I'm sharing 10 characteristics of people who are hard to overwhelm â and spoiler: underneath all 10 of them are really just four foundational concepts: how we manage our attention, whether we finish what we start, keeping our word, and acting from our values instead of our moods.
This is a really important one. Grab your pens.
