What if the thing you’ve been told to tone down… is actually your greatest advantage?

What if being called “too much,” “too different,” or even “weird” is the very signal that you’re thinking in ways others can’t?

In this thought-provoking episode, Trish Goodfield—speaker, trainer, and author of Weird Wisdom at Work—redefines what it means to thrive in today’s workplace. After being labeled “weird” in an executive meeting, Trish uncovered the deeper meaning of the word: destiny. That moment sparked a powerful realization—your strengths only become wisdom when you actually use them and share them.

This conversation dives into how workplaces often reward conformity while quietly silencing curiosity, questioning, and unconventional thinking. Trish challenges that narrative by encouraging you to start small, embrace the unknown, and bring forward your ideas—even before they’re fully formed. If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t quite fit the mold, this episode will show you why that might be your greatest edge—and how to turn your “weird” into wisdom that truly makes an impact.
