How to Get Lucky – On Purpose

6 principles that I use to get “lucky” over & over: 1. Maximize shots on goal 2. Default to open 3. Be genuinely interested 4. Communicate effectively 5. Play infinite games 6. Embrace feedback Out of the 40+ talks I've given, I think this is my best one. Quote from one attendee months later: “This talk had a lasting effect on how I approach my life.”
