Questions this video answers

Sales consultant and strategist at Google.

Persuasion ('gift of the gab') and the ability to learn quickly (leaning into weaknesses).

Main skill was definitely the, I guess you could say the gift of the gab to persuade people that my ideas were good and worth pursuing. That was definitely the first skill I believe I picked up. It's the main reason why the first job that I went into was as a sales consultant at Google, as a strategist. Over the next couple of years, I would say the key skill that I gained was how to learn things quickly. And what I would do is I would lean into my weaknesses to figure out how to become smarter. That was the only thing that was on my mind for those first three, three years or so. How do I become smarter? Achieve the goals I want to achieve.
