In this episode, Cat is going to talk with us about how to be an effective specialist. As a specialist, there is an easy tendency of being very compartmentalized and shut out anything that is not that much connected to our specialty. However, this leads to a career downfall in the long run.
Let’s join Cat and listen to this episode now and learn more about being a “Relative Specialist” and how this will greatly benefit your career.
Quotes:
“You Need To Know How Your Expertise Impacts Other Areas Of The World And You Need To Know How Other Areas Of The World Impact Your Area Of Expertise.”
“If You Want To Be A Great Consultant, You Got To Understand How It Is That Your Knowledge Will Apply To The Users Of Your System.”
“It’s Okay To Not Know Everything Because You Won’t, But You Need To Keep That Door Open In That You Will Find Out For Them.”
