Tim, in your opinion, why is it important for

people who are new to their careers, young professionals?

Why is it important for them to especially understand Habitudes?

>> Dan it's vital on my opinion.

I have been working or teaching young adults since 1979 and I would

say the current system we have now of education and I love educators by the way.

But it often provides hard skills but perhaps not soft skills.

Which employers are begging for.

So I believe both are important.

I'm not saying hard skills aren't important but

perhaps on might learn science or math or technology but

if I can't get along with a teammate or I'm not very good at communicating or

my emotional intelligence is low, it could sabotage my career.

So all the grades were right on my report card but

I wasn't able to translate that into a real life situation.

So going back in history at least in American history,

our public school system in our country was founded by a guy named Horace Mann.

At least that's how what we attributed to.

Horace Mann first called the public school system the normal school

because they were designed to help kids prepare for the norms of society.

So I was just with educators yesterday and I said are we doing that, can you say what

you're doing in the classroom is getting them ready to have a successful career,

to lead a good family, to thrive in a community, to make a difference, to change

something before you die and you know most of the teachers kind of go I don't know.

I teach spelling right?

[LAUGH] And so

I feel like what we've gotta do is come alongside maybe the traditional system and

say, let's make sure they're career ready when they're finished.

And Dan you and I both know the numbers, we've talked before.

One nationwide survey of employers said, half of the employer said,

I'm hiring recently minted college graduates and they're just not ready.

Now they're smarter as whip, they're completely gifted and

talented is just that we've not go them ready.

I fault us not them so I believe it's just vital that somehow their needs,

there's a piece that says along with all that other stuff you're learning,

we're going to get you career ready.

One more bit on this.

About three years ago, Condoleezza Rice and Joel Klein, an educator from New York,

did a study or they oversaw a study that was done by a number of schools.

And one of the conclusions was in America

at least 75% percent of our youth are not even eligible for

the military due to obesity, criminal records or failure to graduate.

Now you and I both believe in the next generation.

>> Yeah. >> But somehow what we've done isn't

getting them ready.

And I'm just on a war path, just like you are, let's get them ready.

I think they can change the world if we get them ready.

>> I think so too.

And I loved your new book and you've written 30 books now?

>> Yeah.

>> This one, Habitudes for New Professionals.

The first that made you have is that of a young man holding.

>> Some coffee. >> Some coffee.

>> Yeah.

>> Tell us a little bit about that first one, you called it the coffee step.

>> Yeah.

It's, you know what I did to come up with this and not only surveyed and

research a bit but I looked at my own career when I was on my 20s.

Coffee step is simply and image that teaches me this.

Very often the first step in your career, is not about talent it's about trust.

And actually this was from a great story of an intern that I

over saw years and years ago.

Carrie had come to the office as a recently mentored college graduate and

she was asked to get the coffee and

she told me later she said doctor Tim I gotta be honest with you.

I was put off by that.

I thought is it because I'm a girl?

And the guys won't do this or

do you not realize I've got a degree from Kansas State University?

You know she had all the logical reasons.

But she said I decided to bite my lip and just get the coffee.

She told me it was the wisest decision I ever made.

Here's why, she said doing that dumb little thing,

that small thing, got me in the room with the executives.

I'm handing out coffee, I'm meeting the president, the executives,

the vice president, she said pretty soon we're in conversations,

they get to know me, next think you know they're asking me questions,

next thing you know they're having me sit down at the table cause I'm 22 and

they want to know what a 22 year old,

she said the coffee step was a step to exactly where I wanted to go.

And the people that wouldn't do that small thing, never got in the room.

So it's a simple principle but you and I both know it.

Do the little thing.

Because the coffee step may get you [SOUND] exactly where you want to go.

>> That's all very good. >> Yeah, yeah.
