‘Brace yourself through education or professional journey and its insights by following three expert suggestions.’
Ankur Warikoo, now an entrepreneur and public speaker who was a PhD dropout from the University of Michigan speaks at SeekhoX, a first-of-its-kind interactive event series featuring top industry leaders, where GenZ and millennials can get career advice and insights. For GenZ and millennials going through their education or professional journey, here are some takeaways from his session:
Tip #1 - Find people who are nothing like you and learn from them
Go back to the first day of college, job, or any social event. Our instinct in social situations is to find people similar to us. We want to belong to a certain group aka our tribe. People we can relate to. People who think like us. But being in a circle of people who are identical to us doesn't promote learning. Ankur says, "You will never learn anything from someone who agrees with you. Consciously, spend time with people who are different from you. Make diverse friends, talk to more people, understand what it is that they know you don't."

"The most successful people, people who inspire you, people you'd want to be are on a constant daily basis taking the path of maximum resistance. They are challenging their fear and whatever they believe in because that's the only way to change your orbit," said Ankur.
