Love this perspective! Being able to sell your ideas and work is just as important as your ideas and work themselves.

I always recommend students do sales, it teaches them so much about life.

I don't always love his delivery but Scott Galloway's books have a lot of wisdom.

I agree with you. His delivery is made for social media, definite, loud, and polarizing. Some of his takes resonate but wish they were presented more am pathetically. But then again, the algorithm doesn’t like that.

Which books of his do you like?

For college-age readers, The Algebra of Wealth is good not only about money but also about the work one needs to do to have a decent life.

The ways I use to promote what I would call "optimal self-confidence" among students would be two well-known, researched and tested approaches, which are "self-efficacy", originally developed by Anthony Banduras in 1977, and setting SMART goals, which are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Main thing is to avoid over-confidence, which we know as the Dunning-Krueger Effect.

I emailed my director yesterday about developing and running case studies for our students so that they can better develop real world skills. I do not want to see this continuous trend of increasing youth unemployment.
