<club-desc-paragraph>In his sixth business book, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and investor Gary Vaynerchuk (popularly known as “GaryVee”) explores 12 emotional skills that have been integral to both his personal and professional success. He also shares his “half”—the weakest link in his emotional approach to leadership.<club-desc-paragraph>
<club-desc-paragraph>In the business world, Gary argues, too many people emphasize the importance of “hard” skills—ambition, toughness, grit—while overlooking “soft” skills like humility, empathy, kindness, and curiosity. Although these aren’t as quantifiable, they can accelerate business success when implemented in the right situations. Twelve and a Half offers real-life examples, tools, and exercises for readers to strengthen their own emotional intelligence, identify their own “halves” (or weaknesses), and redefine what it means to succeed.<club-desc-paragraph>
<club-desc-paragraph>Join author GaryVee and host Barbara Corcoran for lively conversations about everything from parenting and entrepreneurship to some of the more surprising drivers of success.<club-desc-paragraph>
