Learned Excellence (ft. author Alan Eagle)

Today I’m thrilled to bring Alan Eagle to you to discuss his new book, Learned Excellence, with Eric Potterat. If you don’t know Alan, he’s Eagle is an author and executive communications consultant, helping leaders and companies shape and tell their stories. He spent 16 years at Google, partnering with executives to communicate the company’s story to clients, partners, employees, and the public. He is the co-author of the books How Google Works and Trillion Dollar Coach, and the author, all by himself, of seven letters-to-the-editor published in Sports Illustrated. He has never won the New Yorker Caption Contest.  

To give you a little tease of the new book, on shelves now, we discuss why we care so much about what other people think, the 10 techniques we can use to handle stress and achieve the excellence we crave, why balance is so critical to prevent burnout, and more. So without further ado, let’s jump right in!
