Living an Extraordinary Life with Stever Robbins

Think about the last time you went in for a job interview or a
meeting with a potential client. What was your frame of mind? It
probably had nothing to do with the sense of creating an
extraordinary life. In fact, most people think the same thing. “Oh
please, pick me! Pick me!” But what if you went in with the
confidence that you had something valuable to offer, and the
interview was as much for you as it is for them? Then, if you
landed that job, what if you weren’t afraid to ask presumptuous
questions of someone way above you on the hierarchical ladder?
Would you have the guts to ask for a quarterly dinner alone with
the CEO? Today’s guest, , has a lot to say about happiness and
success, and it comes straight from his research into the lives of
Harvard Business School and MIT graduates. In fact, as a HBS
graduate himself, Stever has been an executive coach for many
years, helping his clients understand how to live an extraordinary
life, and it all comes back to daring to do what you think you
