Every Time You Were Just YOU, It Worked | Ep 972

"I'm not good at helping people reduce who they are in order to be accepted by the majority. I'm great at taking someone from outsider to outlier." — NiiamahJoin Niiamah (@niiamahashong) and Jaspreet Dua for a throwback live coaching conversation that reframes how outliers find their next opportunity. JD has built his entire career through chance encounters: walking into a Bose recruitment fair in a golf t-shirt, polo matches, a random tweet. He calls it luck. Niiamah calls it something else entirely. In this session, JD asks how to sell himself better to the conventional market. Niiamah's answer will reset how you think about your career: you have never sold yourself, every time you didn't something extraordinary happened, and trying to get better at the wrong game will only make things worse. If you're the most interesting person in the room, you're in the wrong room.Welcome to the Outlier's Edge Podcast, hosted by Niiamah Ashong, Founder of Outlier's Edge and Sherpa of the World of Difference. On this podcast, you'll join other high-performing unconventional leaders and entrepreneurs (aka Outliers) as they talk about leveraging what makes them different to make a difference in the world.Timestamps:00:00 — Wrong room wrong league03:17 — Podcast coaching format explained07:32 — Meet JD Jaspreet Dua10:08 — Mom's cancer changes everything14:31 — Bose job in a golf shirt19:55 — Every job from chance encounters23:40 — Being interested not interesting28:31 — The 5% versus the 95%37:00 — What would make the biggest impact48:30 — Stop selling be the buyer01:14:00 — How else can they meet you01:34:30 — Never stop reinventing yourselfFollow Outlier's Edge Socials:Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | Youtube | WebsiteEpisode originally published on: 6/4/2019
