Networking, negotiating, communicating, leading, and career planning—all skills that are critical to your career success. But did anyone ever teach you these skills?

In today's episode, we speak with author, Mark Herschberg, to learn how and why mastering these vital skills are necessary to yield outsized returns for your career and your income.

Do we go with the flow and let the career lead us? Do we jump over obstacles and plough through roadblocks to reach the other side where the grass is greener? Or, do we take a more calculated, multi-skilled, multi-faceted approach to define the outcome we want and the path(s) we need to take to get there? Ultimately, the choice is your and yours alone. It's a question of how much getting to the desired outcome matters.

Have a listen.

About The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You The book is divided into three sections: Career, Leadership & Management, and Interpersonal Dynamics. Although the topics do reinforce each other each chapter can be read on its own. If you’re facing a particular challenge you can jump ahead to any chapter. At the end of the book you'll have developed a wide ranging set of skills for your career. You'll be able to create a plan to get you to where you want to go, and apply the other skills both strategically and tactically to accelerate your career.
