Talent. Do you groan when you hear that word? Do you feel shame or believe it is not possible for you to get talent – that you are a lifetime of mistakes?
You may remember my guest Daniel Coyle author of one of my favorite books The Talent Code. In past interviews we discussed where talent comes from and the link between our brain and building talent.
Dan has a new book, The Little Book of Talent: 52 TIPS for Improving Your Skills and in this interview we talk about why you need to stop viewing mistakes as failures and what you can do to build the skills that you need to be successful.
In this interview Dan and I talk about:
