We were pleased to introduce Top 50 Thinker Dorie Clark to the EMEA Recruitment podcast.
“Begin to take the steps to feel okay about running our own race.”
In this episode, Dorie takes listeners back to the world pre-pandemic, detailing how the previous networking events were ineffective and the challenges of networking experienced at these organized events.
Instead, she offers tips and advice on how to network effectively, emphasizing how using the correct event management techniques can help you leverage your relationships with like-minded people.
Speaking with Paul Toms, our Founder, Dorie speaks about her latest book The Long Game, a business book which champions the need to think ahead to reach both personal and professional goals.
She explains that short-term thinking is a good strategy to an extent, but it is not the long-term solution. A key focus within the episode is the importance of long-term thinking.
“Yes, identify the goals, yes, get as clear on them as possible, and then work backwards.”
Another topic that is touched on is the executive coaching Dorie provides to people within the business world. She explains that, especially in the world of social media, if it seems like other people are getting there faster, it can cause self-doubt. To counteract this, Dorie suggests people stick to their plans and realize that most success comes from hard-work, repetition and patience.
Close to the end of the episode, we find out that Dorie has started to fulfil her ten-year stretch goal of learning how to write musicals. She has successfully completed one musical, giving Paul a synopsis, with multiple others in the pipelines. Her overarching goal is to write a musical that will eventually be produced on Broadway!
