Finding Your Edge and Turning Your Adversity into Advantage with Laura Huang

Published: April 17, 2020, 7:30 a.m.

Dr. Al chats with Laura Huang, author of the book "Edge: Turning Adversity into Advantage".

Laura is a preeminent Harvard Business School professor who shows that success is about gaining an edge: that elusive quality that gives you an upper hand and attracts attention and support. Some people seem to naturally have it.

This is a deep dive into how we can create our own edge from the challenges and biases we think hold us back, and in turn, make them work in our favor. Success is about knowing who you are and using that knowledge unapologetically and strategically. Laura is going to teach you how to find your unique edge and how to keep it sharp.
