Raj Setty of 25 Ways to Distinguish Yourself fame touches on boxing in a post from earlier this week. (I posted a comment – but you have to register.) Earlier, I wrote about our tendency to fit people in neat and tidy boxes. I talked about hiring managers but Raj talks to the fact that we all do this. Every day. You meet someone new and they begin telling you about themselves, our monkey brains almost immediately begin chattering away at us searching through the boxes in our brains to “fit” this person. We seek to find the relationship points. What aspects of my life does this person intersect? Better yet, what aspects of this person’s life can I help? The important thing is to differentiate yourself. Be a hammer.
