Welcome to the first episode of Rising Stars. In this episode I’ll explain the idea behind the show and share my views on how leaders in business today need to take control of their own learning and education to continue to be effective and add value in a fast changing world. Given the average lifespan of a company listed in the S&P 500 index is just 15 years today, leaders must have a self-learning mindset and think ahead. I also had a chance to interview Harvey Robbins, Co-Founder, President and Principal trainer at www.SharpenUrEdge.com a company founded to help the millennial generation prepare for success in the corporate world.
