It’s Our Job to Create Our Own Happiness, with Basel Yandem
40% Better - Engineering Leadership
About
You don’t find happiness. You create it.
Bill chats with Basel Yandem, a civil engineer and life and leadership coach who started leading at age 10 in the Scouts and was running engineering teams by 26.
They dig into how taking initiative gets you promoted, why you should always bring a solution with your problem, why five efficient hours beat eleven exhausted ones, and why you should only retire from work you don’t enjoy.
Plus: the New Year’s Eve story Basel says he’s never told anyone before.
