Can you create more luck in your career? Some people seem to really get lucky when it comes to opportunities and advancement. But today, we’ll talk about how you can influence and control how much “luck” comes your way. 

In this episode of The Career Rx we’ll discuss:

• Your personal “Board of Directors” and who needs to be on it  
• How your personal narrative can be powerful for negotiation
• The mindset that will help you say “yes” and “no” to the right things

Today’s episode is a presentation I gave to a nonprofit foundation for undergraduates in STEM about 10 ways to set yourself up for success and luck in your career. Spending 15 minutes a week doing any one of these strategies will pay off enormously for you. Your career possibilities are truly limitless and if you lay this foundation, you will find that your career is very, very lucky indeed.
