Paul presented “Think You’re Special? Fact & Fiction of Being Truly Unique”.

Here’s a quick synopsis:

We’ve all heard it from all quarters: “Follow your passions and you will succeed.” This is but half of some very sound advice. Here’s the other half: Just because you love doing something, are good at it, or know it’s awesome, does not necessarily mean that you’re guaranteed success in doing it for a living!

Separate the fact from the fiction with some straight talk that you’re not likely to find in the “How To” books…

* Can my passion & talent translate into real business value
* Does being “customer-centric” mean sacrificing my own values
* How can my uniqueness impact my business success
