How to Filter for the Best Advice

“If you never push yourself beyond your comfort zone, you will never improve.”

– Anders Ericsson

Our President and Founder recently appeared on The KeyHire Podcast with host Corey Harlock to discuss the flood of information we receive and the need to filter the most useful insights.

Benjamin starts with the idea of the “Feedback Paradox”—the best advice can come from anyone, so you must remain open to feedback from diverse sources, even though that may mean a huge influx of ideas. He then discusses key mistakes people make around processing information, such as not focusing on their core values, soliciting too much feedback, and analysis paralysis.

Finally, Corey and Benjamin get very practical and talk about the best steps to solicit feedback and create a challenge network to add perspective before making decisions.
