Lesson 1: Right-brain thinking is great for the Conceptual Age

A few months ago I had a friend contact me for some help finding a job . He’s an engineer like I am, and wanted to see if I had any connections that were hiring. I did what I could, but these days it’s just difficult to stand out. It seems that everyone’s got an engineering degree or knows how to code. What does it take then?

Well, the fact that my friend was asking me for help says one thing. Our ability to relate to and connect with others is a pretty big deal. “The money is in the network” as they say, but without people skills you’ve got no network.
