Meet Andrew Parker, a Corporate Survivor with >25y experience in Sales, Marketing, and Strategy; an Australian who has lived and worked in the USA, Europe, and Asia, currently based in Singapore. When the time was right, Andrew decided to put his skills to the test and founded Wasabi Consulting and The Anxious Executive Initiative. He’s also a Certified Leadership & Business Coach, a University Lecturer, and Podcast host. Let’s find out what makes Andrew a Career Rockstar! Andrew and I explore not only successes but also the importance of acknowledging our failures and scars and how they can help us to grow. Andrew shares how he dealt with boredom and the importance of saying YES to new challenges; the Superpowers of Introverts; and the importance of your MBTI profile for you and others. He also unveils the importance of cultural intelligence in career management especially in our virtual world of work, and in figuring out what’s right for you.
