Two speakers discuss how small increases in effort compound into major career gains. They argue that the gap between average and exceptional often comes down to pushing just a bit harder, and that incremental work produces outsized rewards.

When you just try even like 10% harder than the average person, the outcomes are not linear, they're exponential. When you have a meeting with someone, the first person, like, send the calendar invite, they're like, well, she's a high performer. It's like, that took her three seconds, right? But it's like that 10% more effort. The rewards are exponential.
It's so true when you put it in perspective of it doesn't have to be 100%. One of your newsletters recently was about that extra 1%. That was like a game changer for me too, because it's like sometimes it's just that little bit more that's going to make a huge impact on someone's career.
