Cracking the Code to Career Success – Live on the SchmidtList Podcast

Cracking the Code to Career Success – Live on the SchmidtList Podcast

I had a great opportunity to be a guest on the SchmidtList with Kurt Schmidt. Kurt is President and Partner at Foundry and a business coach at Schmidt Consulting.

This episode was recorded in front of a live audience at the MnTech Careers 1.0 event.

Kurt summarized the key takeaways in the show notes:

🌱 The Growth Mindset:

– Confidence is crucial but complement it with humility to conquer impostor syndrome.
– Be a perpetual learner—stagnation is the enemy in this fast-paced tech landscape.
– Embrace curiosity and expand knowledge beyond your domain to stay relevant.

🤝 The Power of Networking & Mentorship:

– Prioritize aligning with a company’s values and mission—where you contribute matters.
– Leverage networking for opportunities; it’s not just what you know, but who you know.
– Seek diverse mentorship and guidance—growth often comes from unexpected places.

💡 Career Advancement Strategies:

– Conveying your ideas is as important as crafting them—hone your persuasive skills.
– Look internally for growth; if a role doesn’t fit, angle for the one that does.
– Offer value in your network; it’s about giving as much as you take.

Here’s the episode. Enjoy!
