989. We’re Breaking Down What Makes People Successful

Posted on by Nick

The common thread between all of the most successful business leaders is that they all know what their talents are and they don’t let their ego get in the way of finding people who can fill in the gaps. We’re sharing an exercise that you can do to understand exactly what your zone of genius is and get more visibility into your blindspots. I describe what I think Chris’s strengths are when it comes to networking and building a business, and he highlights what he notices in my skill set as well.

987. Introverts…This Is Going To Rock Your World

Posted on by Nick

I’ve always had mixed emotions about the ‘introvert’ and ‘extrovert’ labels. I love being around my people, but I used to always feel the need to recharge after big social events. What I’ve discovered is that I was just an extreme people-pleaser who didn’t uphold my boundaries or manage my energy. In this episode, I share how I handle social situations now to make sure that I’m not leaving them feeling anxious and drained. 

If you identify as an introvert, DM me over on Instagram at @loriharder and let me know if this resonates with you! Plus, tell me how you’re going to challenge yourself at your next social event!
