Episode Summary
Gina Jeneroux reading from Chip and Dan Heath’s Switch and discussing how to maintain your own spirit.
Michael’s new book How to Begin: Start Doing Something that Matters is now available at www.HowToBegin.com.
If you were to summarize my corporate career, the core theme would be: discovering the ways I didn’t really fit. I didn’t become an entrepreneur for all of the conventional reasons, I had simply realized that I just wasn’t that good at having a boss. This poses the question: is there a way to be a rebel and stiff flourish within a system?
Gina Jeneroux is the Chief Learning Officer at the Bank of Montreal, and she’s on a mission to change how her colleagues – and eventually, the world – learn and prepare for the future.
