The document provides career advice for developing an entrepreneurial mindset. It discusses developing a competitive advantage by differentiating yourself, planning for adaptation and change, leveraging your network, pursuing breakout opportunities, and taking intelligent risks.

Do you struggle to finish your daily tasks, juggle your work load and keep organised at work? If so, read our top tips to help work a little smarter everyday!
As the war for top talent is at an all-time high, our need for capable teammates to lighten our load has hit the "yesterday is too late" warning level, and our own desire to get much more out of our career trajectories is somewhere between red and white-hot, a simple question is rarely answered correctly: what are we to do to find the right people and to stand out ourselves?
While the traditional resume has been enhanced by better design techniques (infographics! Presi! personal websites!) and smartly maintained social presences, these mediums can (still) be too easily manipulated in the applicant's favor—just like that supposedly objective reference call that gets made in the final stages of most hiring decisions.
The answer to finding the right talent and / or positioning ourselves better therefore can't be digital, analog, or even external. Rather, it comes down to one simple thing truth: professional excellence. Either you have it, or you need to work hard to achieve it.
This presentation contains practical, next-level tips to help you become the best version of your professional self (for job seekers) and help you better vett talent (for job hirers). Come away armed with the tactics you need to grow and nurture your skills, deliver world class work product, earn trust and respect, successfully collaborate, and generally take your game up a notch so you advance your career.
If you are like many people, even the thought of delivering a speech in front of an audience will get your palms sweating. The fear of public speaking ranks high among the most common phobias, and for good reason: most of us approach the situation with the wrong mindset, which in turn makes us live out our worst fears in a public forum.
As Michael Parker notes in IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SAY: How to Sell Your Message When It Matters Most (A TarcherPerigee paperback; on sale January 2016), our fixation on the content of our words – and not the presentation of ourselves – is what brings us down. Once the Vice-Chairman of London’s Saatchi & Saatchi, and one of the world’s most experienced advertising pitch men, having made more than 1,000 pitches in his successful career, Parker has learned first-hand that an effective presentation, a job interview, or even a speech at a wedding hinges on our ability to portray ourselves as passionate, relatable, and collected. But, if we are focused on what we say, and not how we act, we will fail to persuade our audience.
Applied in the boardroom, at the pulpit, or even in conversation, these tenets will help you present better in any situation.

Reid Hoffman outlines 3 secrets of highly successful graduates:
1. Develop a competitive advantage by leveraging your existing assets, aspirations, and market realities.
2. Proactively build and leverage your network, as opportunities are connected to people. Seek to help others within your network.
3. Take intelligent risks, such as internships or side projects, to learn and discover the best career path, rather than avoiding risk which is risky itself in a changing world. Playing it too safe minimizes learning.

La organización geográfica asigna un territorio exclusivo a cada vendedor. La organización por productos crea equipos de ventas independientes para cada línea de productos.

Finalmente, la organización por función de ventas especializa a los vendedores en funciones como nuevos

Strategy is one of the most abused and misused terms in marketing. When I was a younger, I struggled a lot with that. There are so much opinions out there and it seems like everyone tries contradicting each other on purpose. On the 2nd of October, I got the chance to speak to 50 students at Thomas More Hogeschool and to tell them what I think strategy is and why it is so goddamn necessary in communications, marketing and yes, let's just say the world.
Comments and feedback are definitely welcome.

14 Things Every Young Pro Should Know About Life & Business
Young Professionals today have a bad rep. People call them lazy, unprofessional, entitled and 100s of other negative associations. At the end of the day, young professionals have to take control of their own lives and create their own rules. In this deck, I highlight 14 things that every young professional should know about life and business.
Every day we move through dozens of spaces and places. We participate in lots of inter-personal interactions, conversations and (god help us) meetings. And we spend bursts of time working alone. But how much awareness do we bring to the spaces and places we inhabit while we're in them? How much intentionality do we bring to our inter-personal exchanges? How much creativity do we foster in our own solo working situations?
Often, not nearly enough. Focus is limited, attention is split, and opportunities are lost. This session will explore purpose-driven approaches to the places, people and situations we encounter every day. With an emphasis on how to be truly engaged in where we are, mindful of what we're doing and focused on helping creativity flourish.

How to build your individual professional development plan
In this presentation, I will present the easy 5-step model I personally use with my clients to start the conversation about career planning. Sometimes, I meet people that have already started the process (or even completed it several times already).

Robert Allen’s blockbuster best-sellers, Nothing Down and Creating Wealth, have inspired and helped more than one and a half million hardcover readers seeking financial success and independence. Now, in The Road to Wealth, Allen takes a giant leap forward by proving that any reasonably intelligent American can drastically improve his or her financial situation in only 90 days.

Pitching Ideas: How to sell your ideas to othersJeroen van Geel
Learn how to convince others of your UX ideas by understanding them.
We are good in designing usable and engaging products and services. We understand the user's needs and have a toolkit with dozens of deliverables. But for some reason it remains difficult to sell an idea or concept to team members, managers or clients. After this session that problem will be solved!
Selling your ideas and convincing others is one of the most undervalued assets in our field. This ranges from convincing a colleague to use a certain design pattern to selling research to your boss and convincing a client to go for your concept. You can come up with the best ideas in the world, but if it is presented in the wrong way these ideas will die a lonely dead. This is sad, because everybody can learn how to bring a message across. The main thing is that you know what to pay attention to.
In this session I will take you on a journey through the world of presenting ideas. We will move through the heads of clients and your colleagues, learn what their thoughts and needs are. We will move to the core of your idea and into the world of psychology.

The 3 Secrets of Highly Successful GraduatesReid Hoffman
Reid Hoffman outlines 3 secrets of highly successful graduates:
1. Develop a competitive advantage by leveraging your existing assets, aspirations, and market realities.
2. Proactively build and leverage your network, as opportunities are connected to people. Seek to help others within your network.
3. Take intelligent risks, such as internships or side projects, to learn and discover the best career path, rather than avoiding risk which is risky itself in a changing world. Playing it too safe minimizes learning.
Este documento describe cuatro métodos para estructurar la fuerza de ventas de una empresa: organización geográfica, por productos, por tipo de clientes y por función de ventas. La organización geográfica asigna un territorio exclusivo a cada vendedor. La organización por productos crea equipos de ventas independientes para cada línea de productos. La organización por tipo de clientes segmenta la fuerza de ventas por industria, tamaño u otro factor del cliente. Finalmente, la organización por función de ventas especializa a los vendedores en funciones como nuevos
El documento describe diferentes estructuras y consideraciones para organizar una fuerza de ventas efectiva. Explica que se pueden organizar las ventas por geografía, producto, cliente u otras funciones. También cubre el uso de agentes externos o representantes de ventas, y estrategias como telemarketing, enfocarse en cuentas clave y trabajar en equipo. El objetivo es dividir y especializar el trabajo de ventas para alcanzar los objetivos de la organización de manera eficiente.

A presentation adapted from "The Startup of You" by Reid Hoffman and Ben Casnocha. I was the keynote presentation at the "Noche de las telecomunicaciones valencianas" meeting in Valencia, Spain.
"The Start-up of You: Adapt, Take Risks, Grow Your Network, and Transform Your Career" - by Reid Hoffman and Bes Casnocha
is a brilliant guide for both career professionals and (aspiring) entrepreneurs.
The book is a real page turner replete with street-smart wisdom on how to realize your potential by being flexible, taking chances, building and growing a network and making your own destiny.
In short - the book is all about being an entrepreneur of your own career.
Sharing you my notes from the book which really struct a chord with me. Hope you'd enjoy this!
Strategy is one of the most abused and misused terms in marketing. When I was a younger, I struggled a lot with that. There are so much opinions out there and it seems like everyone tries contradicting each other on purpose. On the 2nd of October, I got the chance to speak to 50 students at Thomas More Hogeschool and to tell them what I think strategy is and why it is so goddamn necessary in communications, marketing and yes, let's just say the world.
Comments and feedback are definitely welcome.

14 Things Every Young Pro Should Know About Life & BusinessRoss Simmonds
Young Professionals today have a bad rep. People call them lazy, unprofessional, entitled and 100s of other negative associations. At the end of the day, young professionals have to take control of their own lives and create their own rules. In this deck, I highlight 14 things that every young professional should know about life and business.
Every day we move through dozens of spaces and places. We participate in lots of inter-personal interactions, conversations and (god help us) meetings. And we spend bursts of time working alone. But how much awareness do we bring to the spaces and places we inhabit while we're in them? How much intentionality do we bring to our inter-personal exchanges? How much creativity do we foster in our own solo working situations?
Often, not nearly enough. Focus is limited, attention is split, and opportunities are lost. This session will explore purpose-driven approaches to the places, people and situations we encounter every day. With an emphasis on how to be truly engaged in where we are, mindful of what we're doing and focused on helping creativity flourish.

In this presentation, I will present the easy 5-step model I personally use with my clients to start the conversation about career planning. Sometimes, I meet people that have already started the process (or even completed it several times already). Other times, I meet people who have never really spent much time thinking about their career plan.

Robert Allen’s blockbuster best-sellers, Nothing Down and Creating Wealth, have inspired and helped more than one and a half million hardcover readers seeking financial success and independence.

4. All human beings
are entrepreneurs.
When we were in the caves,
we were all self-employed...
finding our food, feeding
ourselves. That’s where
human history began. As
civilization came, we suppressed
it. We became “labor” because
they stamped us, “You are labor.”
We forgot that we are entrepreneurs.
—MUHAMMAD YUNUS
Nobel Peace Prize winner and microfinance pioneer
5. To adapt to the CHALLENGES of professional life today...
6. We need to rediscover our ENTREPRENEURIAL INSTINCTS
and use them to forge new sorts of careers.
7. Whether you’re a lawyer or
doctor or teacher or engineer
or even a business owner...
8. Today you need to also think of
yourself as an entrepreneur at the
helm of at least one living, growing
start-up venture: YOUR CAREER.

22. Differentiate or die.
To beat the competition,
companies develop
CLEAR REASONS WHY
a customer should pick
them instead of others.
23. Zappos massively DIFFERENTIATED ITSELF
from other e-commerce companies by offering
free shipping both ways and 24/7 customer
service via a locally staffed 1-800 number.
24. Similarly, in a world where
A MILLION PEOPLE CAN DO YOUR JOB...
25. CHART A CAREER PATH
that sets you apart from other professionals.
43. Picking a MARKET NICHE
where you’re better than
the competition is key to
entrepreneurial strategy.

45. POPULAR CAREER PLANNING ADVICE
says you should decide where you want to be in
10 years and then develop a plan for getting there.
49. They presume A STATIC WORLD.
In fact, you CHANGE, the competition
CHANGES, and the world CHANGES.
50. They presume that fixed, accurate self-knowledge
can be easily attained through INTROSPECTION.
51. They presume that fixed, accurate self-knowledge
can be easily attained through INTROSPECTION.
In fact, your identity is not found through
introspection but rather emerges through
EXPERIMENTATION.
52. Entrepreneurial career planning
and adapting is about being
FLEXIBLY
PERSISTENT
always ready to adapt, but also
persistent in driving toward goals.
65. Then craft an experimental PLAN A,
an alternative PLAN B, and
an unchanging, certain PLAN Z.
66. PLAN A
What you’re doing now.
Your current implementation of
your competitive advantage.
67. PLAN B
You pivot to B when
your plan isn’t working
or when you discover
a better way toward
your goal.
68. PLAN Z
You shift to Z if something goes seriously
wrong. It’s the lifeboat you can jump in if
your plan fails and you need to reload
before getting back in the game.
69. Did you know that
started out as a multiplayer online game?
70. Did you know that
started out as a “digital wallet” for storage only?
71. Did you know that
JERRY
SPRINGER
was mayor of Cincinnati?
72. Did you know that
SHERYL
SANDBERG
began her career in India?
There, she worked on
public health projects
for the World Bank.
75. An experimental PLAN A,
an alternative PLAN B, and
an unchanging, certain PLAN Z.
76. An experimental PLAN A,
an alternative PLAN B, and

78. Relationships matter to your career no matter the
organization or your level of seniority because, ultimately,
EVERY JOB BOILS DOWN TO INTERACTING WITH PEOPLE.
94. While not as vital as allies, acquaintances usually
INTRODUCE DIVERSITY to your network.
95. They tend to hail from different social circles or
industries and so they can be useful to find opportunities
or intelligence OUTSIDE YOUR INNER CIRCLE.
96. While there’s a limit to the number of
people you can ever know at one time...
97. ...you are part of a broader network of
FRIENDS OF FRIENDS and
FRIENDS OF FRIENDS OF FRIENDS
—second and third degree connections—
for which there is VIRTUALLY NO LIMIT.
100. If you’re connected to a couple hundred people on LinkedIn,
you’re actually at the center of an extended network
MORE THAN TWO MILLION PEOPLE STRONG.
101. If you’re not asking for or giving INTRODUCTIONS
to these second or third degree connections,
you are not fully leveraging your network.
106. Use it to pay for coffees,
lunches, and the occasional
plane ticket to meet new
people and shore up
existing relationships.

108. The trajectories of remarkable careers are NOT
slow and steady up and to the right.
109. Rather, they are marked by
BREAKOUT OPPORTUNITIES
—career experiences that lead to unusually rapid gains.
110. You can develop HABITS OF BEHAVIOR that increase
the likelihood you find great career opportunities.
122. There will be times when your back’s against the wall,
when you’re low on resources or time, and when you’ll
have to get scrappy and HUSTLE for opportunities.
123. Constraints can be a blessing in disguise:
it’s amazing how RESOURCEFUL one can get
when one has no choice but to be resourceful.
124. The founders of Airbnb were running out of cash,
but they still believed in their idea.
125. To buy more time to figure out a way to scale their business,
they did what any hustling entrepreneur would do...
128. And the extra cash — $20,000 in profit — bought them
enough time to figure out how to turn a consistent profit.

165. The most meaningful
way to differentiate
your company from
your competition, the
best way to put distance
between you and the
crowd, is to do an
outstanding job with
information. How you
gather, manage, and
use information will
determine whether
you win or lose.
