[Rebroadcast] Hello friends! Thank you so much for joining us on this episode of 2 Dads 1 Car. Our very special guest today is Scott Young, a Wall Street Journal best-selling author of “Ultralearning: Outsmart the Competition, and Accelerate Your Career”, and his new book, “Get Better at Anything”. Not only is Scott an influential thought leader in productivity and learning, but he is also a dedicated father to a young boy and girl! I would also like to give a huge shoutout to Cal Newport for helping make this connection and this episode a reality. Drawing upon his research in learning and productivity, our conversation centers around the importance of understanding the unique and distinct ways in which our children approach learning. Whether it be building fundamental skills or taking an organic approach through discovery, Scott shares his own childhood experiences, and how they nuance his mindful approach towards fatherhood. For the parents, Scott also offers insights into parent guilt, and how parents can use those emotions to build better systems of life management and problem-solving. Ultimately, Scott emphasizes the value of encouraging his children to intrinsically enjoy what they do, and develop enthusiasm not only in the practice of their craft, but in the process of getting there.Thanks again for tuning into this episode of 2 Dads 1 Car!

We discussed how he lost a deal that was worth $1 billion, his experience with Richard Branson on Necker Island, why pitching a billionaire is a bad idea and how to get attention instead, buying companies as a growth strategy versus starting them, and how to know if a potential deal is a good one or not.

Welcome to Women's Leadership Success, episode #142 on transforming your executive presence and advancing your career through leadership brand building. In this special podcast, executive leadership coach Sabrina Braham reveals the key strategies from her new Leadership Brand Blueprint Accelerator (see below) that help women leaders unlock their next-level career potential. Why Your Leadership Brand Matters More Than Your Technical Skills For ambitious women in management, director, VP, C-Suite, or founder roles, there's a critical gap that often prevents career advancement despite stellar qualifications. According to recent McKinsey research, while women have made significant progress in leadership representation, they still face unique barriers to advancement – with one key factor being the development of a strong leadership brand. "People can be very, very talented in their jobs, but they get so busy that they forget to pay attention to the things that will actually help their brand, help them deepen relationships, and help them be seen as a leader in their company," explains Sabrina Braham, who has spent 30 years coaching executives in Fortune 50 and Fortune 1000 companies. This leadership blind spot explains why technically brilliant women often get passed over for promotions. The critical differentiator isn't your expertise – it's how others perceive your leadership presence. The Surprising Career Impact of Commitment Tracking The first cornerstone of an influential leadership brand is commitment accountability – a simple practice that transforms how others perceive your reliability and trustworthiness. Why Senior Executives Track Their Commitments In Sabrina's extensive coaching experience with C-suite leaders, she's observed a fascinating pattern: "When I'm coaching a senior Vice President, CEO, CFO, or COO, they're much more likely to be on time, show up, and do the things they said they would do than people at the lower ranks." This insight reveals a critical truth: Tracking and honoring commitments isn't just good practice – it's a distinguishing characteristic of those who reach the highest leadership levels. Real-World Results: How Commitment Tracking Transformed Kathleen's Career Consider the case of Kathleen, a talented leader at a Fortune 50 company who had been there since its founding yet hadn't been promoted to Vice President despite her capabilities. "She was so intent on the goals she had, she forgot to pay attention to the people and what she needed to do for them," Sabrina explains. "As she began to pay attention to what her commitments were, how she was keeping them, and her relationships with other people, she began to improve. Over time, that led to her becoming a Vice President." Why Your Brain Needs a Commitment System When you implement a commitment tracking system, you activate what neuroscientists call the reticular activating system – the part of your brain that filters information based on what you consciously value. "When you start paying attention to the commitments you want to keep, it starts making you more aware of how you can improve, how you can update people, and let them know what's happening. It basically ups your game," Sabrina explains. The 1-10 Scale That Transforms Leadership Effectiveness A key component of Sabrina's Leadership Brand Blueprint is the 1-10 rating scale – a deceptively simple tool that creates remarkable clarity for leadership development. Why the Scale Works When Other Feedback Fails "What we tend to do in meetings and giving feedback is somewhat nebulous," Sabrina notes. "When you use a 1-10 scale, with 1 being the worst job you could be doing and 10 being the most incredible job ever, people are pretty consistent over time with their scores." This consistency means you can accurately track progress while avoiding vague assessments that don't lead to improvement. The 0.5 Improvement Rule Here's where Sabrina's approach becomes truly powerful: "What can you...

Read the full transcript here. What do schools do well and not so well? In what contexts is memorization most effective? What's the value in teaching something that will probably be forgotten by most students after graduation? How should educators balance time spent on building skills versus acquiring knowledge? Why do students so often fail to apply the skills learned in school (e.g., fractions, solving for unknown quantities, etc.) to problems encountered in everyday life? What is "transfer of learning"? What is educational "directness"? How can we learn languages more efficiently? How does review compare to other forms of study or exam prep? How can we forget less of what we read? Is it really true that "practice makes perfect"? How can we best set ourselves up emotionally for optimal learning? What should people do when they hit plateaus in their learning?Scott H.

When Cameron-Brooks partners with a military officer, we really do view our relationship as a partner. I know when many officers find Cameron-Brooks, whether through an internet search, on social media or just through word of mouth, they often approach us with an immediate and short-term need. Namely, they are getting out of the military and want to find meaningful work that will allow them to use their leadership to make contributions to their new organization and will allow them to continue to grow and develop professionally. While certainly, that represents one of the ways we help military officers launch meaningful careers, that is not the only way we partner with military officers. Before they begin interviewing, we guide officers through a curriculum-based Development and Preparation Program (DPP)© Additionally, after an officer accepts a position and launches their career, we commit to walking alongside them throughout their career. In this episode, Cameron-Brooks Principal Lauren Kordzik shares some best practices regarding walking alongside officers as they launch their careers and how to accelerate your career in the first year You may remember Lauren from Episode 147. Lauren spends much of her time at Cameron-Brooks working with our client companies, so in that episode, she shared her experience with why companies hire military officers for high-potential leadership roles. Another important function that she does at Cameron-Brooks is she conducts "first-year check-ins" with officers who have launched their new business careers. In our conversation, Lauren explains the “upsides” and “watch-outs” of some of the most common themes that tend to surface during these conversations. The three themes we discuss that will help accelerate your career in the first year: Appreciate your ability to make a choice as to where you will work next and be mindful of the trade-offs with the choice. Be patient and be proactive. Know that you will likely encounter a learning curve, but also have the courage and conviction to make important decisions early and often. Expect uncertainly. When you make the move to your new role, there will be an excitement that is undeniably exhilarating. After the “newness” wears off, uncertainty and doubt tend to creep in. Many say just know and appreciating this will help get them through those initial times of uncertainty. In this episode, we also mention some great books that you will help explore some of the ideas discussed as you either continue to prepare to make the transition to the business world and as you already on your journey. The Dip by Seth Godin The 6 Types of Working Genius by Patrick Lincioni Of course, if you are interested to see if Cameron-Brooks can help you reach your personal and professional goals, give me a call or shoot me an email. I'm glad to set up a quick meeting to explore the possibility of partnering with and being a guide of you on your journey. You call also learn more about Cameron-Brooks on our website, YouTube channel and LinkedIn. Until next time, make it a great day! Pete Van Epps || pete@cameron-brooks.com || (210) 874-1519

I am often asked, “How do you accelerate your career?” According to a survey conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management, 72% of employees ranked opportunities for career advancement as one of the top factors influencing their job satisfaction. While job security and stability are important, the true measure of success lies in continuously expanding your skill set, seizing opportunities for advancement, and positioning yourself as a sought-after asset in the marketplace. By prioritizing personal development, strategic networking, and impactful contributions, you can pave the way for a fulfilling and rewarding career journey that transcends traditional notions of indispensability in the workplace. With this understanding in mind, here are five essential strategies to help you accelerate your career: 1. Get Stuff Done and Be Easy to Work With: The first step to becoming indispensable is mastering two key traits: being highly productive and fostering positive working relationships. Strive to consistently deliver high-quality work on time while maintaining a collaborative and supportive demeanor. By being known as someone who gets things done efficiently and collaborates effectively with others, you'll quickly become indispensable to your team and organization. 2. Avoid Gossip and Complaints: Gossip and complaints can poison the workplace environment, erode trust, and damage relationships. Focus on maintaining a positive and professional demeanor. Be someone who uplifts others, fosters a culture of respect, and addresses concerns directly and constructively. You demonstrate professionalism and integrity by steering clear of gossip and complaints, making yourself indispensable as a trusted and reliable colleague. 3. Focus on Continuous Growth and Learning: Indispensable employees seek growth and improvement opportunities. Invest in expanding the skills, knowledge, and expertise relevant to your role and industry. Stay abreast of industry trends and developments and be proactive in seeking new challenges and learning opportunities. Try new things, take on projects that stretch you, or put in for a role that allows you to learn something new or a different area of the business. By continuously growing and evolving, you position yourself as a valuable asset capable of adapting to the organization's changing needs 4. Excel in Your Role: whether you're a specialist with deep expertise in a particular area or a generalist with a broad range of skills, the key to indispensability lies in excelling in your role. 5. Build a Strong Professional Network: Cultivate relationships with colleagues, mentors, and industry professionals who can support and advocate for you throughout your career. Actively seek out opportunities to collaborate with others, share knowledge, and contribute to the success of your network. B Accelerating your career trajectory requires standing out and consistently adding unique value. By honing essential skills, maintaining a positive attitude, committing to continuous growth, cultivating specialized expertise, and fostering a robust professional network, you not only solidify your position within the organization but also propel your personal and professional advancement. Becoming indispensable isn't just about job security; it's about becoming a driving force of innovation and success, both for yourself and your organization.
