Your Future Performance Will Be Dictated By Your Mastery Of a Small Set Of General Skills
These skills are scientifically proven to be the drivers of career success. We call them the High Performance Skills. You can develop them with intentional effort, and they transfer to any role or industry you choose.
Top Job Opportunities Require You To Demonstrate The Ability To Deliver Results
Top companies want proof that you have the skills to perform. They won't hire you based on a degree alone -- they will likely be considering dozens of people with the same academic qualifications as you for each slot. This is the Proof Economy. You need to show you can solve complex problems and deliver results in challenging environments. High-performing organizations need people who can create value, innovate, and work in teams.
Consistent Success And Satisfaction Depends On Strong Personal Alignment With Your Work
Most college graduates do not use their degree knowledge in their careers. They don’t understand how their major ties to their career, choose poorly, lose motivation, and grind out their work.
You can instead build an understanding of who you really are, what interests you, and where you are likely to find autonomous motivation. With strong alignment “work” will be effortless. Without it you are likely to drift, switch jobs mindlessly, chase “success” as a substitute for contentment, and burn out.
