Gradability CEO David Phua, as he talks to Nick Bhasin. Nick is an American writer, author and cultural commentator now based in Sydney. He writes about culture and parenting and his first book “I Look Forward to Hearing from You” is getting published this June. Despite his experience, it took Nick a year after arriving in Australia to find a full time role in this chosen profession. Courage and persistence were some of the key characteristics that were crucial in finding success. Nick also observed interesting differences between his experience in New York and LA and the Australian workplace culture – from email etiquette to the importance of socialising with colleagues. Tune in to hear the full story and why he believes “there’s more than one way to be happy in the world”.
