Neal provides his advice that he recently gave LinkedIn on career change and learning to adapt to - and thrive on - the constant change that is part of our everyday life.Key Highlights[00:57] Career Curveball Series[04:06] How Life Prepare Us to Run the Bases[06:29] Planning on Starting My Career in China[08:35] Nothing Is Static[09:17] Starting My Career with Sales and Marketing[11:35] Becoming the China Sales Pioneer[16:32] Facing A New RealityNotable QuotesIt gave me a chance to really look back into my past into my entire career, and analyze not the one curveball but the many curveballs and how it has affected the way that I look at social media in the way that I hope you look at social media as well. The only constant in your career is change, learn to embrace it. I love to talk about social media as being an experiment. You always need to be doing different things and changing things.
