Intention X Action = Success Jennifer Hill and Brandon Maslan discussed the importance of having a clear intention in your career and your life. We all have 168 hours every week to make our vision a reality. The more time you spend in action towards that vision the better. Sometimes the best action is to trust that even a little can go a long way. To create your intent for your career the hosts suggested writing down what you want once in the morning, again in the afternoon, and once more in the evening. Then think of anybody who can help you achieve your goals and make a plan to reach out. Better yet, what is an action you can take that week to help move you closer to your goal? Think about anything or anybody who is a roadblock to achieving your intent. Finally, when you are feeling stuck it is vital to give and provide help to others. The more you give the quicker you will receive what you want!

He shared his inspiring takes on emotional intelligence and self-regulation to achieve one's goal of getting THE job of their dreams. He discussed the importance of seeking out the right environment. One of his mantras is that which I am seeking is also seeking me. What do Curious George and Albert Einstein have in common? Well, an insatiable curiosity of course. His suggestion in interviews was to get curious about the interviewer and find out what their passions are as a way to foster immediate connection and value. Tips on the regulation of yourself to achieve your goals were blocking time, creating a list of intentions that are ranked from most important to the least, and finding the tools that work for you.
