469: Dorie Clark – Reinventing You! Helping Change Lives.
Summary
In this interview, I chat with Dorie Clark. Dorie is an adjunct professor at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business and a professional speaker. She teaches people how to reinvent themselves and cut through the noise of information and ideas out there so their messages can be heard. In this episode, she shares insight and techniques to do just that.
The New York Times has described her as an “expert at self-reinvention and helping others make changes in their lives.”
She is the author of the forthcoming Entrepreneurial You. Her previous books include Reinventing You and Stand Out, which was named the #1 Leadership Book of 2015 by Inc. magazine. A former presidential campaign spokeswoman, she is a frequent contributor to the Harvard Business Review.
