Dorie Clark: Get Your Message Heard

In this episode, Steven Morris and Dorie Clark discuss:

• How to approach and carve out an “indirect career path” that is still anchored in who you are
• The importance of making time for long-term planning and then following through with it
• Applying strategic thinking without disrupting the day to day flow
• The importance of serendipity in business and how to leave space for it

Key Takeaways:

• Dorie’s goal is to help individuals and companies get their message heard is an noisy and crowded environment
• Later in your career you must be more selective about where you put your time and energy, because your experience has made it more valuable
• You have to align your day to day activities with your long-term future vision
• Limit yourself to 1 personal and 2 professional goals and focus on them for 6 months

"We all kind of have to go through that gauntlet of commoditization and anonymity in order to break through to the other side of being able to individualize ourselves in the marketplace and have people thank us for it." — Dorie Clark
