146: Life lessons at 49 that I wish I could tell my 29-year-old self

The World Class Leaders Show

How much time do you spend reflecting on your past? Do you wish you could go back and talk to your younger self? In this episode, Andrea shares five big lessons he has learnt in the past 20 years, in the hope that it can help and provide insight to those earlier on in their career.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Always stay curious, even when you feel you don’t need to do.
• Power doesn’t equal influence, you can influence without power.
• Be patient, don’t look for power, look for impact.
• Question everything but do so respectfully. It is not wrong to challenge anything.
