About this listen
The semester has begun, and Professor Johnathan Daniels welcomes his next batch of students into his classroom. He teaches the capstone business communications course at State U, one of the most valuable classes a student can take.
As senior Aaron Woods takes his seat, he has no idea the wealth of knowledge, skills, and communication tools he's about to receive that will help him conquer life after graduation.
Dr. Daniels' curriculum consists of his ''12 keys to professional success", which offer help and guidance through any career-related obstacle someone might encounter.
As Aaron and his class make their way through the 12 keys, they'll gain wisdom and learn how to master simple principles such as establishing rapport with others, time management, interview skills, dressing professionally, and more that, when added together, yield results that are undeniable.
Grab a seat. The class is about to begin.

Despite the overwhelming amount of resources for time management and work-life balance, the ability to cultivate the efficiency and equilibrium needed to manage all our worthy pursuits can often feel frustratingly out of reach. The reason for our struggle is that productivity and time-management systems focus on individual habits rather than more meaningful and lasting lifestyle changes. But as it turns out, there is a better way to reach our full potential.

We’ve all had those perfect moments when events that could never be predicted, let alone controlled, remarkably seem to guide us along our path. Carl Jung called this phenomena “synchronicity” - “a collaboration between persons and events that seems to enlist the cooperation of fate.” In this book, Joseph Jaworski argues that the right state of mind will make you the kind of person who can enlist the cooperation of fate and take advantage of synchronicity, creating the conditions for “predictable miracles.”

What did your boss mean in that email? Is your mechanic stretching the truth? Whether you’re engaged in a casual conversation or a high-stakes negotiation, it’s critical to understand the subtext of a situation. But with so much interaction happening on screens—via email, texts, or video chat—we are losing the ability to interpret expressions and cues. Furthermore, since many are now savvy about the meaning of body language, it’s become even harder to discern someone’s true thoughts or intentions.
