During most of John Stepper’s career he was lucky. One day his group was re-organized and he had to look for a new job. Traditional networking and personal branding seemed insincere; he looked for a better way. He learned how to build authentic relationships, how to share his work in a way that made it better, and how to create a practice that helped him make his own luck. That practice is Working Out Loud; it helps people become more effective, more connected, and happier. Working Out Loud Circles are in 42 countries and a wide range of organizations. Learn more in Stepper's book, Working Out Loud: For a Better Career and Life (Ikigai Press, 2015).
