Focus on WHY

When you mix your passion with your vocation with your mission and profession, you find fulfilment in your work. This is what Dan Kent-Smith has found when creating his business Next Play. Leveraging the best of the LinkedIn platform alongside the people who worked there, Dan’s WHY is to serve those who want to future-proof their career and business by helping them to identify transferable skills to build and maintain their greatest assets.

KEY TAKEAWAY

“If you've got an idea that you think could go somewhere, check it! Think, can you do this? Can you talk to the right people? Can you actually push through with this? It is about taking those risks, even though you've got that fear inside, the butterflies in your stomach. Should you do it? Yes, you should do it. Go for it. So take intelligent risks for me is absolutely key.”

ABOUT DAN KENT-SMITH

It was 2012, Dan Kent-Smith had a sales development role and was using LinkedIn when he spotted an old work colleague of his working for LinkedIn. Dan reached out to her to introduce the company he was working for and she responded, "Dan, I'm glad you called, I've got a job for you". Dan did not see that coming and this is where his LinkedIn journey really started. He joined LinkedIn soon after and stayed for almost 5 years working with some of the world’s biggest companies. Today, Dan uses that knowledge to help execs, sports people and companies future-proof their career and business through LinkedIn.
