Four pieces of career advice from the world's most successful leaders

How I Work

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?

A great piece of advice can be life-changing. It can set you on a whole new trajectory, land you a new job, or even prompt you to make a big career change.

Group Managing Director of Coca-Cola Amatil, and self-described overachiever Alison Watkins shares how to make sure the advice you receive is right for you.

Global leader in innovation Scott D Anthony wants you to flirt with possible career moves through advice and curiosity.

Organisational psychologist Adam Grant outlines the benefits of scheduling a regular life check-up for yourself.

Wendy Stops, non-executive director on the board of Commonwealth Bank of Australia, shares the best piece of advice she’s ever been given.

While good advice is helpful, it’s also worth noting that there is plenty of bad advice going around. For Kendra Banks, Managing Director of SEEK, this came in the form of parenting and career advice.
