Bonnie Mincu interviews Tracy Brown (Segment 2 of 4). Tracy describes her approach to doing well in her first job at Mary Kay Cosmetics as being "very coachable." She made a point of learning what the best salespeople and leaders did, and especially how they handled when things went wrong.
Tracy was highly attuned to what she was naturally good at, and thought about how to become the best that she possibly could through intentional learning and practice. We discussed the importance of that kind of growth mindset, especially with ADHD. Tracy also said that rather than waste mental energy on areas where she'd likely NOT be good at, she made a point of surrounding herself with people who excelled where she did not.
As someone who usually found her best approach was different from those around her, Tracy believes in making a life that works for YOU, rather than trying to fit into someone else's idea of how you should be.
