Bonnie Mincu interviews Tracy Brown, an extraordinarily effective leader with ADHD whose approach to life has taken her far. In this first of four short segments, Tracy shares how her father taught her poker along with his philosophy on life: "Play the Hand You're Dealt." 

Tracy didn't dwell on why she wasn't able to sit still and read a book... or even a paragraph -- without her mind wandering to many other things. Instead, determined to do well with the skills she had, she applied her mind to figuring out how to ace tests without reading class assignments. And after leaving college to go into sales at Mary Kay Cosmetics, by age 26 she was managing a team of 300 people. 

Tracy attributes much of her success to her eagerness to learn and seek advice from the most successful people in the company, being very intentional about following their coaching and reflecting on what worked and tweaking what didn't.
