Peter Simoons

Tip 15: Be Flexible in Transitioning the Partnership. French essayist Francois de La Rochefoucauld once wrote that the only thing constant in life is change. As clichéd as it may sound, it is indeed true. Change happens whether we like it or not, and we have to brace ourselves to embrace that change in order to move forward.

Why talent is overrated

Stellar Partnerships

I have just read Angela Duckworth’s book Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance. It’s filled with evidence, case studies and stories of how and why talent will only take you so far.
