143 | Stefan Gyocsi | How My Student Works Experience Helped Me Land My Dream Job

In today’s show, Chris interviews Stefan Gyocsi, Territory Manager, Benjamin Moore & Co.

We start this show with Stefan recalling his life before Student Works. Ambitious and driven, Stefan, however, lacked clarity about his future plans. He shares that his inability to work to his full potential was his biggest frustration. 

In the next segment of the show, Stefan shares how his Student Works stint helped shape his personality and lay the base for a successful career. In his first year at Student Works, Stefan shares that he learned some important lessons in delegation and project management. 

Leveraging on this, Stefan shares how he drastically managed to scale up his painting business in years 2, 3, and 4. Here listeners will learn that while following systems and processes are necessary, it is also important to figure out what works for you – and then craft your unique way of doing things.

After Student Works, Stefan worked with a trucking company for 3 months but then decided to move on to better opportunities.

Currently, as a territory manager for Benjamin Moore, Stefan is in charge of 20 stores that generate revenues of $6 million. Here, he gives listeners a peek into his current role. Did Stefan’s Student Works experience help him land this dream job?

We wrap up this show by sharing some crucial attributes that truly define a leader of tomorrow. Topics discussed include developing an abundant mindset, learning to delegate, goal-setting and much, much more. 

We hope you enjoy this show!
