362: Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You with Mark A. Herschberg

by

I don’t recall exactly how I got connected to today’s guest (a publicist, maybe), but not long after we’d secured an interview date, I received an email from a client with a desire to make an intro to…you guessed it: today’s guest.

My client had just had Mark A. Herschberg on his own podcast and thought Mark would make a tremendous guest for my show as well. Little did my client know, Mark and I were already scheduled to talk. It is my pleasure to bring that conversation to you today.

Mark wrote a brand new book, released in January, called The Career Toolkit: Essential Skills for Success That No One Taught You.

Networking, negotiating, communicting, leading, career planning – all skills critical to your career success, Mark says. But did anyone ever teach you these skills? If not, it’s okay. You’re in luck.

Mark’s book will help you master all of these things and more. You might say it’s a multivitamin for your career.
