@Hank : 我在瑞典生活了八年,即将担任CMO,但我一直被冒名顶替综合征困扰,即使之前的反馈都很好。我该如何克服这种感觉? @Scott : 冒名顶替综合征是一种普遍现象,即使成功人士也会经历。克服它的方法包括:自我同情、承认并接受自己的感受、挑战消极想法、与他人倾诉、保持积极的生活方式(例如健康饮食和锻炼)。记住,市场可能比你想象的更聪明,你值得拥有现在的位置。 @Nicholas : 我有10年的商业经验,想加入一家初创公司担任COO或幕僚长。如何选择一家有潜力的初创公司? Scott: 选择初创公司时,应该关注团队而非公司本身。理想的加入时机是在公司拥有20到200名员工时,因为这时风险和回报的比例相对较好。同时,要关注公司融资情况、媒体报道以及投资人等信息。 @Sasha : 我是波士顿大学的大二学生,想从事咨询行业。如何才能真诚地建立人脉? Scott: 真诚地建立人脉的方法包括:积极参加各种活动、与人建立友谊、保持积极的态度、主动与人交流。利用学生身份的优势,积极参加各种活动,主动与人交流,建立联系。不要害怕说“是”,多参加社交活动,并积极投资人际关系。
