How to Create More Career Opportunities with Angela Duckworth

What if the key to getting ahead isn’t working harder, but changing your surroundings?

Angela Duckworth, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Grit and leading psychology professor at the University of Pennsylvania, is back with a new perspective on what drives success. In her new book, Situated, she explores how the people, places, and circumstances around you shape what you’re capable of, and how to change them to jumpstart your career.

In this conversation with Hello Monday host Jessi Hempel, Angela shares the exact frameworks she uses to diagnose a stuck situation, from the three-box model of situation, thoughts, and behavior to the small-scale power of micro friction. Get concrete advice on building a circle of peers, attracting mentors through short curiosity conversations, and recognizing the signs that you are in the right place, or that it is time to move.
