Maha Abouelenein: 我的成长经历和职业生涯都充满了挑战,尤其是在1997年的中东地区,女性在商界的地位非常低。我克服了语言障碍和文化差异,最终在埃及创立了自己的公关公司,并取得了成功。这离不开我的自信、自力更生和持续学习的精神。我的新书《自力更生的七条规则》总结了我的经验,希望能帮助更多人实现自我价值。在沟通方面,我强调了解你的听众,并根据语境调整信息,避免‘tone deaf’。建立人脉关系需要真诚的意图,先为他人创造价值,再寻求帮助。个人品牌建设并非自我推销,而是理念推广和思想领导力。 John Gafford: 本期节目与Maha Abouelenein的对话非常精彩,她分享了宝贵的经验,特别是关于自力更生、个人品牌建设和人脉关系的维护。在沟通方面,我们探讨了如何根据听众调整信息,避免枯燥乏味。同时,我们也谈到了社交媒体的负面影响,以及如何避免成为‘entrepreneur bro’。最后,我们强调了长期发展的重要性,以及将人置于利润之上的价值观。
