• Break problems down into components, prioritize them and solve each one in order.
• Recognise the things you cannot change and factor them in when working out how to solve each problem. Cultivate a reverence for fact.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Rule number one with problem-solving is simplify.’

‘Look at the marketplace around you, see what is being paid well and gear your efforts toward that.’

ABOUT THE SHOW

People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.
