Is your plan for a career path nothing more than a list of vague aspirations? What if you could create a concrete plan and gain the skills that will help you achieve the career success you're hoping for? Mark Herschberg joins Mary Ann Faremouth in this episode of Career Can Do and shares his insights on how to navigate the new work world. Mark is an instructor at MIT and the author of the book "The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills for Success No One Taught You." They discuss a common mistake in creating a career plan, how to adapt to the changing landscape of AI, and the importance of the ‘firm skills' no one taught you. Mark emphasizes the need for individuals to have a career plan rather than simply hoping for promotions or advancements. "So many people, when they ask themselves about their careers or others ask, they might say, well, I'd like to be a VP, and I'm a director of whatever, or a senior… And that's the plan. Their entire plan is, “I hope one day to get this promotion or get to that level.” That's not a plan." Mark also suggests discussing the plan with one's company and being open to the idea that the plan may lead to transitioning to a different job in the future. Mark discusses the concerns surrounding AI and its potential to automate tasks and replace jobs. He offers a different perspective on how you can stay relevant in your career. “You want to be very strategic… understand how those tasks will evolve, what will go away, what will stay, and what new tasks will come in.” Mark advises people to evaluate which tasks are high-value and hard to automate, as well as low-value tasks that can be automated. By focusing on high-value tasks and understanding the evolving nature of your role, you can adapt and position yourself for long-term career success. Your career development plan shouldn't be created in a vacuum. Mark emphasizes the importance of discussing career plans with employers and managers. He believes employers should work together with employees to find mutually beneficial solutions. As an employer, he shares some of the discussions he's had with employees who want to transition to different roles or even different companies. By fostering open communication and understanding, employers can create a supportive environment that encourages growth and development.

Episode 85. “Collecting business cards isn't networking. I tell people, getting someone's card or adding someone on LinkedIn and saying they're in your network, that's like swiping right on a dating app and saying, this person is now your significant other.”From tracking criminals and terrorists on the dark web to creating marketplaces and new authentication systems, Mark Herschberg has spent his career launching and developing new ventures at startups and Fortune 500s and in academia, with over a dozen patents to his name. Mark helped start the Undergraduate Practice Opportunities Program, dubbed MIT's “career success accelerator,”  is the author of The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You as well as the creator of the Brain Bump app. This conversation runs the gamut, from networking to ethics to leadership:“… every time I meet someone, I think “Nice to meet you. What can I do to help?” Now, I'm not gonna show up and move your couch, but maybe there's other ways I can help you. And that is relationship building. You don't keep score with your friends, you don't keep score with your network.” “Leadership is about stepping up and getting people to follow you, but the good news is you can practice and develop these skills long before you have that title…”“I always get the sense ‘ethics,' it's the redheaded stepchild. Ethics is, “Well, after we have everything else, our profitability, our leadership and everything else. . . if we have time… we'll get to ethics…”For more information about Mark and to purchase his book, The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You, visit: https://www.thecareertoolkitbook.com/To learn more about his Brain Bump app, go to: https://brainbumpapp.com/What came up for you as a result of this conversation?  Let Linda know by going to Normal-Lies.com and leave a review.  Linda reads every one and every month, she chooses one review to read on air.  Who knows, she may choose yours!If you have a question or a topic you'd like addressed on an upcoming episode, go to Normal-Lies.com and click the contact page to send Linda a message.

When did you learn important career-building skills like networking, finding mentors, interviewing, and finding great work opportunities? Most people didn't learn these skills in college or high school. We learned them when we had to - when we were searching for our first jobs or starting our first businesses. MIT alum and teacher Mark A. Herschberg saw this gap and decided to create a solution. His career success accelerator class teaches students the basic skills they need to navigate and prepare for building the careers they want. Recognizing a similar gap in the thousands of available career-oriented books, Herschberg wrote The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You. (Available here: https://amzn.to/3wOe45B Associates Link) He is also the creator of the Brain Bump app - a context-sensitive content collection and dissemination tool that helps people organize the content they want at their fingertips and easily access and share it. From tracking criminals and terrorists on the dark web to creating marketplaces and new authentication systems, Mark has spent his career launching and developing new ventures at startups and Fortune 500s and in academia, with over a dozen patents to his name. He helped to start the Undergraduate Practice Opportunities Program, dubbed MIT's "career success accelerator," where he teaches annually. He also works with many non-profits, currently serving on the Plant A Million Corals board. For more information about Mark and his various projects, please visit https://cognoscomedia.com.

Narrated by the author, Surrender is an intimate, immersive listening experience, telling stories from Bono's early days in Dublin, to joining a band and playing sold out stadiums around the world with U2, plus his more than 20 years of activism. Throughout a remarkable life, music has always been a constant for Bono and in the audiobook, his distinctive voice is interwoven with a very personal soundtrack adding atmosphere and texture to each and every scene. From moments of classic U2 hits to snippets by The Clash, Patti Smith, Verdi, Johnny Cash and Mozart, Surrender also exclusively features clips of newly recorded re imagined versions of U2 songs including ‘Sunday Bloody Sunday', ‘With Or Without You', ‘One', ‘Beautiful Day' and more, glimpsed for the first time on Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story.

As we age and gain new experiences, our brain changes and it becomes evident that we can't hold every piece of information and knowledge that we encounter at all times. More often, we only retain information that is immediately useful or relevant to our present needs. But, we also want to remember crucial information that we've read today at a time in the future when it is needed, right?   In this episode, CTPO, speaker, author, MIT instructor Mark Herschberg and I discuss this topic in more detail. As an author faced with the challenge of readers' recall and retention, Mark created an app called Brain Bump designed to help users remember information, data, and materials from books, blogs, podcasts, classes, talks, and other resources whenever they are needed. If you are in the business of investing, or in any business for that matter, you'll need access to as much information as you can to run your business efficiently and to have meaningful engagement with clients and investors. Listen until the end and you'll learn invaluable tips to protect yourself and your business from cyberattacks.   Key Points from This Episode: What makes 21st-century learning different? Why did Mark create the Brain Bump app? Why do most people not retain what they read? How does the technique of “spaced repetition” help retain information? The two ways when most people need information. Mark discusses the Brain Bump app and how it helps users access information when they need them. How can we use media channels more efficiently? Where can the Brain Bump app be downloaded? Mark talks about cybersecurity and the persistent threat of cyberattacks. Measures that companies, businesses, and individuals should take to protect against cyberattacks. Safety tips against bank fraud or wire fraud.   Tweetables: “We live in the most abundant time in human history with regard to sharing information, and sharing perspectives and thoughts.”  - Tyler Chesser   “Even when a reader reads a book, a business book, a self-help book, something with advice, say, wow, there's great advice here. And then you forget it two weeks later. You forget 90%-95% of it. That is a problem. And so there's a problem for the author and a problem for the reader.” - Mark Herschberg   “Media is traditionally linear. We listen to this episode, front to back, first to last. We read a book from first to last. We watch a TV show from start to finish. Exceptions are encyclopedias or dictionaries, you generally don't read that first page to last, you jump in, you get what you need, and you leave. More of our media will shift in this direction.” - Mark Herschberg   “By chopping up the content from an episode, from a book and putting it in this nonlinear order, we make it more relevant. It's like a "choose your own adventure" that you grab what is right for you.” - Mark Herschberg   “The teacher is who learns the most.” - Tyler Chesser   “For any company or individual, it's not a matter of “if” but “when” you run into a cybersecurity issue.” - Mark Herschberg “You will be attacked, you will be hacked. It's about being prepared and having your defenses there.” - Mark Herschberg   Links Mentioned: Brain Bump App The Career Toolkit  Mark Herschberg on LinkedIn Invest with CF Capital   About Mark Herschberg Mark Herschberg is the author of “The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You” and creator of the Brain Bump app. From tracking criminals and terrorists on the dark web to creating marketplaces and new authentication systems, Mark has spent his career launching and developing new ventures at startups and Fortune 500s and in academia, with over a dozen patents to his name.

Thus, it is important for companies to be transparent and intentional in hiring and have discussions beyond the requirements of the job.If you're looking for some great questions to ask during the interview process, check out Mark's great resource from The Career Toolkit.One mistake we often make when we are onboarding employees into new role is placing them into a box, and telling them to do the job. However, you want someone to understand the full picture of the company, and the larger context off their role.Communication starts with clear guidelines on how to communicate and where resources are within a role.Understand the root "why" of conversations so that you can communicate in a way that relates to their direct "why". When you drill down to the root, there might be different assumptions and goals.The BrainBump App is an app that helps you better retain what you read and what you hear. Download and check out this app and see how it can help you in your professional life.Leadership is changing, we have to be more intentional about our leadership, and be more communicative than before. We have to be more explicit with our leadership and intentional about getting feedback from our employees. More complex and more time-consuming as a leader these days.Events are changing, there is nothing that is changed at an event today that is something that you can't pull up online and get it. So events, need to be more engaging and go beyond what you can get next door.Networking and making meaningful connections is key and needs to be fostered at events.Extending the in-person experience to online before and after an event, can help to leverage the online experiences.Mark recommends the following professional development books: PeopleWare and The Charisma MythLinks and Resources:The Career Toolkit WebsitesThe Career Toolkit TwitterThe Career Toolkit InstagramThe Career Toolkit FacebookThank you so much for tuning into the podcast.

Mark's pearls of wisdom: “Negotiations are a skill that you should learn. So imagine the following scenario: You get a job outside of academia, you take your first industry job. Maybe you're 30 years old. Let's say they offer you 80,000 dollars and you negotiate to 81,000. Not a massive lift, right? We can all imagine doing that. If you do nothing else, you just sit in that job the rest of your career, you spend another 35 years working at this one job – you just made 35,000 dollars. One negotiation, tiny lift – 35,000 dollars. Now, imagine that you don't just sit in one job, right? You, of course, takes other jobs. You get promotions, you negotiate those. Again, you negotiate for maybe just a few thousand more. These aren't heavy lifts, you're not some world class negotiator – you're just doing a little better. You can literally add tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of dollars to your lifetime income.” “I am naturally an introvert. Here's the thing – you think about that stereotype of a networker who does go to the conference and schmoozes everyone and gives out cards. Yeah, that's not networking. It's one way to do it, but that's not the only way. If you've ever had a friend, you know how to network. It is just building a relationship. Now, it doesn't mean everyone in your network is your personal fiend, right? There's some people who are my friends and they're in my network, there's some people we're just business contacts. We don't hang out on weekends, but we can call each other, reach out, and we have a relationship. So don't think about "I have to go to a room and I have to ...

Mark Herschberg is the author of The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You. Educated at MIT, Mark spent his career launching and fixing new ventures at startups, Fortune 500 companies, and academic institutions. He's developed new software languages, online marketplaces, new authentication systems, and tracked criminals and terrorists on the dark web—and that only scratches the surface of the many accomplishments he's had over his career. Mark always grew up with a fascination for STEM and technology, but when he started his career he realized he also loved the people side of business as well as the technical side. He came to find that there are several skills beyond the ones specific to your job that you need to master in order to have a successful career. Some of those skills include: Leadership Networking Negotiating Communication Ethics Clear direction Working effectively Whether you are working at a company at the top or bottom of the ladder, or whether you're an entrepreneur running your own business, these skills will help you on your way. If you want to work on these things, you can create a career toolkit development guide to build peer learning groups and help develop these skills.   The Biggest Helping: Today's Most Important Takeaway “It can seem intimidating to say ‘how am I gonna become a great leader, a great networker, a great negotiator.' But as we saw with that negotiating example, it's not about being the best in the world, it's just about getting a little bit better. And if you can get that few percent better in each of these skills, you're going to have a fantastic, successful career. So don't be intimidated, start today, and just focus on getting a little bit better.” -- Thank you for joining us on The Daily Helping with Dr. Shuster.

The Money Fit Show Episode #3 The Art and Gift of Life-long Career Planning Guest Name: Mark Herschberg About the Guest: Author of The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills for Success that No One Taught You, Mark Herschberg Author and MIT educator, Mark Herschberg, shares key insights and practical tips about how to create a career plan. It doesn’t matter if you’re a high school student or you’re in your 50s and thinking about starting your own small business. From reverse engineering your dream profession to becoming a master negotiator in all aspects of your life to ensure everybody wins, these concepts and principles can make a huge difference in your life. Career planning extends far beyond the high school or college student getting ready to graduate. Approach your career as you would a 10-15 year project, planning for regular changes. Different people will approach their career planning differently. Questions to ask yourself about what you want out of a career, but also question about what you want out of life. Reverse engineering can be applied to the process of getting your dream job. Career planning for entrepreneurs and company founders. Starting a small business later in life. Consider your compensation as not just your salary and benefits but also the experience, skills, and network you are building on your career path. The value and role of negotiating in career planning, from salary to growth and opportunities. Negotiations are not just zero-sum situations like buying a car on CraigsList. Good negotiators create win-win solutions. You and the other parties are negotiating “partners.” Creating a peer group to benefit all involved.

Season 2 Episode 6: The critical leadership (and other) skills we needed to learn but weren't taught, with Mark Herschberg, author of “The Career Toolkit”Leadership. Communication. Networking. Team building. These are all skills needed in the 21st century workforce. It's 2021, so why aren't these skills being taught and meaningfully assessed in our nation's high schools and colleges? Dr. Mark Herschberg, author of The Career Toolkit, discusses the need for these skills and explains why we must start teaching them and what it will take for high schools and colleges to take this need seriously. He says, “We need to ask ourselves what do we really need even if we can't measure it as well? I would take a so so measure for the right thing than a great measure for the wrong thing.”I asked Mark for recommendations for effective procedures for large school districts that need to hire consulting firms to provide services and ensure they are hiring effective consultants. He provides practical recommendations. I also asked him how organizations and school districts can build the leadership, collaboration and communication capacity of their own leaders and managers.

CAREER ADVANCEMENT EDITION   Society puts more pressure on going to school and getting the best grades. Some countries, like South Korea, China, and other Asian countries, pressure students from a young age. But are these great indicators of your skills once you enter the workforce?   According to LinkedIn global talent trends, 92% of talent acquisition professionals reported that soft skills are equally or more important than hard skills.   And 89% said that when a new hire doesn't work out, it's because they lacked critical soft skills. These skills include communication, character and personality traits, emotional intelligence, among others. Skills that make people excel in their jobs and the best to work with in the organization.   Getting good grades isn't all there is to success in the workforce anymore. Soft skills make a great employee in every organization.   This episode will be with Career Developer, author, and entrepreneur Mark Herschberg. His book, The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You discusses the skills that can help you accelerate your career growth in any company you're in or you want to get into.   Join us as Mark discusses these essential skills that you need, how he built multiple non-profit companies and his love for ballroom dancing!

He based the book on 20 years of teaching and working in the field, all the skills they left out of our primary and secondary, and college education. Mike and Mark talk about the essential skills that leaders need in order to communicate and influence their teams. Mark shares the best way for us to really learn these skills of leadership and the way top business schools teach them, is to create peer learning groups. So in your organization's, whether this is for yourself, or for your team, you can create groups of people, I recommend groups of about six to eight, but you can do it with larger groups.

Welcome back to the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast for episode #153 with Mark Herschberg[i], the author of The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You. Watch this interview on YouTube here. https://youtu.be/ifPsPNT36WE Learn more about Mark Herschberg and his Career Toolkit Book here https://www.thecareertoolkitbook.com/  See past episodes here https://www.achieveit360.com/episodes/  I'm Andrea Samadi, author, and educator from Toronto, Canada, now in Arizona, and like many of our listeners, have been fascinated with learning and understanding the science behind high performance strategies in our schools, sports, and the workplace with ideas that we can all use, understand and implement immediately. Our guest for this week, Mark Herschberg, who has spent his career identifying and studying the skill gap that exists for what he calls firm skills, including networking, negotiating, communicating, leading, and career planning. We tend to think of many of these as situational skills, but Herschberg says they are really life skills — none of which are formally taught in school. We have been talking about these skills since the launch of this podcast 2 years ago. We call them social and emotional skills as they are known in our schools emotional intelligence skills in the workplace. I'm extremely interested in speaking to Mark about the gaps that he sees with these skills since a recent survey that I saw and mention often showed that 58% of employers say college graduates aren't adequately prepared for today's workforce, and those employers noted a particular gap in social and emotional skills. Students who learn to master these important skills will get ahead faster with less effort and frustration than those who lack these skills. We have spoken a lot about the social and interpersonal skills, emotional and cognitive skills where there is a clear gap on this podcast. These skills do translate into the workplace to help students prepare for life after high school, into college, career and beyond. Just to recap, there are five distinct components of Emotional Intelligence that are important in the workplace: Self-awareness: This is important in the workplace because you need to know yourself first before you can help others with your product or service. Self-regulation: There will be many times in the day where you will be tested and to be able to manage your emotions under pressure is very important. Internal (or intrinsic) motivation: What is motivating you to get up and serve each day? Empathy: is an important skill to have to connect with others. You must be able to see the world through someone else's eyes. Social skills: are important from ordering your lunch in a restaurant, to picking up your rental car and dealing with the front desk employees in the hotel you are staying at. If students do not learn these skills at an early age, they will struggle with their life and future career. Whatever model or SEL competency a school uses, whether it's the Casel 5 competencies[ii] that we have modelled our work after, or something similar that Renee Adams explained in EPISODE #151[iii] with the Goleman Emotional Intelligence Training Model, the idea is that we prepare our next generation of students to thrive in this ever-changing world and that we as adults are modelling these skills. Before we meet Mark, I want to share a bit more about the work he has been doing the past few decades, as there is always so much more to someone than meets the eye with the books they write, or their career path. Mark is the author of The Career Toolkit, Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You. Educated at MIT, Mark has spent his career launching and fixing new ventures at startups, Fortune 500s, and academia. He's developed new software languages, online marketplaces, new authentication systems, and tracked criminals and terrorists on the dark web. I must ask him something about what he learned here, since my husband spends a lot of his spare time with his volunteer work with our local Sheriff's Posse. Mark helped create the Undergraduate Practice Opportunities Program, MIT's “Career Success Accelerator”, where he's taught for twenty years. Let's meet Mark Herschberg! Welcome Mark, I was so grateful that Howard Rankin introduced us after he interviewed you on his podcast. Thank you for taking the time to speak with me about what you have been focused on for the past few decades, that really is what my podcast has been centered around. Welcome! Intro Question: Mark, as much as I want to go straight to asking you questions about The Career Toolkit, I can't ignore one part of your BIO, especially as my husband spends so much of his time working in law enforcement with the volunteer work he does with AZ's Maricopa Sheriff's Posse Program. What did you learn from tracking criminals and terrorists on the dark web that you have applied to helping people with their career? Maybe how to stay busy and away from criminal activity? Q1: We launched this podcast with the goal of helping educators to understand and implement social and emotional learning skills in our schools, with a focus on emotional intelligence skills for those in the workplace and I have been quoting a study that said 58% of employers say college graduates aren't adequately prepared for today's workforce, and those employers noted a particular gap in social and emotional skills and that “3 out of 4 employers say they have a hard time finding graduates with the soft skills their companies need.”[iv] What did you hear when you were at MIT[v] about these “missing skills” across the US and Internationally that inspired you to write The Career Toolkit Book? Q2: As I am researching the top soft skills that are missing in the corporate world, (since I do get asked this all the time—why are the SEL skills that are being taught in our schools not transferring to our corporate space). I did see a PDF that Shrm.org released mentioning the Top 3 soft skills that are lacking are problem solving, critical thinking, innovation, and creativity (which I would agree to be lacking everywhere I have ever worked which is why I left the corporate world, tired of having a vision that no one else could see), the ability to deal with complexity and ambiguity (since the brain doesn't like incompleteness or conflict)[vi] and communication. After 20 years of working directly with these missing skills, how would you list them, what other skills are missing, and let's even pinpoint this down more, what would you say people are missing with something as important as Networking that will not set them up for the life-long ability to ask someone for help with whatever it is they might need, 3, 5 or 10 years down the line? I ask this with the vision to continue to produce content that reinforces the needed skills in the K-12 school market. Image Source: The Global Skills Shortage PDF[vii] Q3: As I was reading through your website, I saw an incredible number of FREE resources[viii] that I think are valuable and important for anyone to download in addition to The Career Toolkit Book. When I'm looking through social media these days, I can't escape posts that are focused on “Finding Your Purpose” or even thinking about Simon Sinek's Start With Why[ix] because this really should be the starting place when thinking about our Career Path (pick a career with meaning so you don't mind waking up every day and spending all day working in this field. It might seem like going back to the basics, but as you say, this isn't taught anywhere, and no one wants to wake up one day and realize they are on the wrong path with their career, and if they do, they need to pivot.  For companies who have bought your book to improve their team's personal and professional effectiveness, what are some examples or case studies of those who have had outstanding results? Have you ever heard of people studying your work and it wakes them up to switching to an entirely new career? Q4: Everyone loves the “Cliff Notes” version of a book to simplify the ideas you teach. I saw you have a SYNOPSIS[x] page on your website that takes someone through the 3 sections of the book (Career, Leadership and Management, and Interpersonal Dynamics) after some important chapters—Career Plan, Working Effectively and Interviewing. I have so many questions that would dig deep into each area but wanted to ask you to drill down more on Interviewing Skills, since anyone in a management position must interview candidates to fill their empty slots, but it can be extremely difficulty finding the right candidate. What are some tips/strategies that you think are crucial for a “trained” interviewer to consider when looking for their ideal candidate, so they avoid that dreaded experience of getting to the end of the hiring process and they must start over again because they weren't able to identify the right candidate? Q4B: What services do you offer? Q5: I love The Career Toolkit App[xi] because it's always fun to have tips and ideas on your phone, to put the new strategies we are working on at the forefront of our mind.  I downloaded the app and wonder what do you want users to think about, learn and take away from using this app? 5B: Can you explain the 3 parts of the book? (Career, Leadership and Management, and Interpersonal Dynamics) Q6: Something that has come up a few times on the podcast as I'm talking to people about the post-pandemic workplace, many companies have gone through some sort of change (either in management) or even a whole new restructuring. During times of change, what would you suggest people focus on to keep moving forward, rather than get stuck in resistance of thinking they liked the old way better, or their old manager did things this way? Q7: I know that you see how we've arrived at this place where these skills were missing in the corporate place, since they have not been important in our schools in the past, but they are gaining importance and making their way into the Corporate World. What would you say would be a model Corporate Workplace, using the skills and strategies in your book, and preparing the next generation of employees for a successful future career? Q8: Is there anything important that I have missed? Thank you very much Mark for your time today, to share these important resources with listeners.  I will put the links to connect with you in the show notes, but other than buying the book, what other programs and training do you offer?

Looking for more than audio? Watch below on Youtube. WATCH PODCAST HERE: First up on this lovely summer day is a talk with Mark A. Hershberg, MIT instructor, CTO, and author of The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You. He joins us to talk about self improvement and leadership. Sometimes, being a good leader is stepping back and letting people with more diverse backgrounds and skills shine when the situation calls for it. Yet we should always be striving to improve ourselves and our skills so that the bottom line is always rising. Following him is Steve Orrin, Federal CTO at Intel. He dropped by to chat about innovation and how to form a team to drive company systems into the future. Steve covers making sure to have a diverse team (backgrounds and experiences) to throwing hard-to-solve issues at a team and just letting them go nuts instead of micromanaging. As he points out, sometimes failure is good and can lead to learning a great deal!

This week on The Business Couch with Dr. Yishai, I had Mark Herschberg, former nerd and tech wiz turned fractional CTO, leader, venturer, expert on people skills, mentor, teacher, and author of The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You.On Insight Sunday, Mark shared his story of going from social outcast to recognizing his need to learn human skills to developing them in himself and his hires, to collaboratively developing a curriculum for skills essential to succeed in leadership and the business world, which he has been teaching for over 20 years at MIT. On Story Tuesday, Mark shared mistakes and lessons he learned about workplace relationships that have become the foundation of his success as a CTO, leader, and throughout his entrepreneur-focused career launching and developing new ventures at startups and Fortune 500s. If you haven't yet, go back and listen to episodes 139 and 140 to learn about leadership from a human skills expert with decades of hands-on and teaching experience – all accomplishments Mark built from the ground up because he struggled and had to in order to pursue his dreams. At the end of episode 140, Mark asked me how to define styles of leadership in a data-driven way that lends itself to scientifically designing effective leadership training. So today, I'm talking all about Data-Driven Dimensions of Leadership and how to train ordinary people into extraordinary leaders. This episode is brought to you by Adaptability Coaching.

Mark Herschberg, author of The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You and recent guest on the Transform Your Workplace podcast, has a lot to say about the skills necessary for a successful and dynamic career. In today's episode, Mark provides practical career-building tips to business leaders and rising talent alike. Give this episode a listen if you're ready to hone your goal-setting (and attaining) skills for the future of your career. TAKEAWAYS   Knowledge and experience are important, but hiring managers should also look for, define, and zero in on other critical attributes, such as communication, negotiation, and team-building, in a candidate. A career plan typically begins by asking yourself what you want in a job and what you want in life. It's about thinking ahead, not having perfect answers.  Your career plan isn't etched in stone; expect to make improvements as you implement it. Assess your progress in your career plan at least once a year.  Any time a new job or role change is on the table, take a moment to assess whether this new opportunity will help you towards the goals laid out in your career plan. GUEST AT A GLANCE Mark Herschberg is an author, thought leader, and expert in career building, speaker, and professor at MIT.  An MIT and Harvard Business School grad, Mark has vast experience in the tech world and facilitating career success.

MARK HERSCHBERG:  So you want to prepare ahead of time, think about what is it that you want to get out of this negotiation.  What's your ideal outcome?  What's your BATNA, your Best Alternative To Negotiate Agreement?  That's the point at which you walk away.  You shouldn't take anything less.  What are some possible scenarios that might come up?  What are some tradeoffs you might want to do?  And what might the other side be doing?  WENDY GROUNDS:  Welcome to Manage This, the podcast by project managers for project managers.  Thank you for joining us today.  I am Wendy Grounds, and joining us on Skype is Bill Yates.  Today we're talking to Mark Herschberg.  Mark was educated at MIT, and he's spent his career launching and fixing new ventures at startups, Fortune 500s, and academia.  Mark helped create the Undergraduate Practice Opportunities Program, MIT's career success accelerator, where he's taught for 20 years.  Bill, you've read Mark's book, and you're going to tell us a little bit about that. BILL YATES:  Yes.  The goal of his book is to be a career success accelerator, just like you mentioned.  And there is so much application to project management.  He's got a chapter on communications, and the leadership chapter talks about how do we motivate team members, different ways to do that.  There's some familiar topics here, things like Tuckman's Ladder, the five different stages for project team development, looking at the 5 Whys technique, the Iron Triangle.  So he goes into some of these things that we'll look at as project managers and go, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I get that.  And then he goes deeper, and those are the topics that we want to talk to him about today, things like negotiation, interviewing, tips that I think project managers can really benefit from. Meet Mark WENDY GROUNDS:  Mark, welcome to Manage This. MARK HERSCHBERG:  Thanks for having me.  It's a pleasure to be here today. WENDY GROUNDS:  I want to hear a little bit about your book.  You authored “The Career Toolkit:  Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You.”  What prompted you to write this book? MARK HERSCHBERG:  Years ago, when I first started hiring people, software engineers, project managers, I found when I had asked them a technical question, I'd get a technical answer.  But when I would ask a question like what makes someone a good teammate, what are the communication challenges we face, I would get blank stares.  And I realized we never teach this in our undergraduate curriculum.  So I had to start training up folks that I was trying to hire. At the same time, MIT was getting similar feedback from corporate America and began to put together their own program.  So I heard about this.  I was about a year ahead of them.  I said, “You know, I've been working on this.  Can I help?”  So I then got involved with MIT.  I helped develop this program.  I've been teaching for the past 20 years.  But of course these skills, it's not just for MIT students.  It's not just for students.  They are universal skills.  Again, corporate America said these are the skills we want to see,

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!Like the show?

ALL ABOUT MARK: From tracking criminals and terrorists on the dark web to creating marketplaces and new authentication systems, Mark has spent his career launching and developing new ventures at startups and Fortune 500s and in academia.

Drawing on nearly twenty years of teaching at MIT's “career success accelerator” program and a career spanning half a dozen industries, Mark distills the key skills for a twenty-first-century career into The Career Toolkit, Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You. (Section one) Career, lays out a process for constructing an actionable career plan, then guides the reader to success both in interviews and on the job to advance along the career plan. (Section two) Leadership and Management, focuses on the fundamentals of managing and leading, applicable to managers and individual contributors alike. It details the essentials of a high-performing team, how to foster a learning organization, how to reduce meetings by making them more effective, and much more. Unlike typical management books, these tools apply no matter what project management approach an organization uses. (Section three) Interpersonal Dynamics, describes how to successfully negotiate, efficiently build a network, and effectively communicate with people from any background. A final chapter on ethics in the workplace provides guidance through common challenges every employee is sure to face at some point. The importance of these skills is well established, yet they are rarely taught in school or corporate training, leaving most people to learn only from experience. The Career Toolkit, Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You fills these gaps. All too often with business books the reader gets overwhelmed with ideas, most of which are forgotten within a few days of finishing the book. The free companion app reinforced the key ideas by allowing the reader to be passively reminded of the techniques. Alternatively, the user can open the app and actively browse or search tips. The category tags and favorites allow the user to focus on specific tips. This is useful to limit tips to the chapter being read or before an activity like an interview or networking event when a user wants to brush up on a specific area. The app is completely free.

For many of us, from the time we're in high school, we're taught the value of making a career plan. Whether it's a five-year plan or a 10-year plan, we learn that looking to and preparing for the future will help us in getting there. As we move into adulthood and start developing our careers, though, career planning continues to be a vital tool. In our new podcast, we spoke with Mark Herschberg about how best to plan for your professional future and continue to pivot and grow along the way. Mark Herschberg is the author of the excellent new book, The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You, which just came out on January 5th. It's already sold out, but fear not: New books will be restocked this month! Mark has spent his career launching and developing new ventures at startups and Fortune 500s and in academia. He has a M.Eng. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and he teaches annually at MIT. He helped to start the Undergraduate Practice Opportunities Program, and, at Harvard Business School, he helped create a platform used to teach finance at prominent business schools. A man of varied interests, Mark has some hidden talents. For example, he was one of America's top-ranked ballroom dancers! He is also known for his annual Halloween parties – although not this last year, for obvious reasons. To kick off our discussion, we learn how such a storied and successful person made the move to writing a book. Mark admits that he hadn't originally set out to write a full book, but over time, his many ideas and bits of advice grew into hundreds of pages. We're glad they did, because The Career Toolkit is an incredibly helpful book for any professional. The first chapter of his book is about career planning. Why is it important that people have a career plan instead of going with the flow or following the opportunities that come their way? As Mark explains here, career plans offer more than just a roadmap of your future. They can also allow you to discover more about yourself: your talents, interests, and working style.To create a good career plan, you'll want to ask yourself certain questions. Sure, there are the obvious ones, like “What do I want to accomplish by the end of this year?” or “What skills do I need to gain to be successful in my career?” However, Mark suggests asking yourself other questions that look at your career from a new angle. He shares some key questions here.Like all plans, a career plan isn't set in stone, and things likely won't work out exactly as you'd anticipate. Should your career plan change accordingly? How much should you move things around as time goes by? Mark describes the balance between concrete planning and having a little flexibility. He also recommends revisiting your career plan regularly, and continuing to ask yourself probing questions. But is career planning for everyone? What if you don't know what your dream job is? How can a career plan help someone with a clear dream job versus someone without one? Mark shares his advice for how to plan ahead when you're not yet sure what you want. Trust us, regardless of where you are, drafting a career plan can only push you forward.Support the show (https://p2q.link/donate)
