Most people's biggest blind spot isn't what they are bad at, it's actually recognizing what they are world class at.

I don't know about you but I can pretty quickly list off the things I'm bad at. Listing what I'm really good at? That's a tougher question.

Sheri Miter is an expert at helping people discover their strengths and leverage them to make an impact at home, at work, and everywhere else we go.

Our natural tendencies and giftings allow us to do certain things with incredible ease.

These things are so easy and natural to us that we can't imagine that it is hard for other people. But it is hard for other people. And this is an opportunity for us to make our best contribution to the world.

Clifton Strengths Finder needs to be a part of every leaders arsenal as we seek to understand ourselves and our teams.

By leaning into people's strengths we can empower them to do their best and most joyful work.

Here's what you'll learn in today's episode:

-What your top 5 Clifton Strengths say about you

-Why it's important to look holistically at your strengths profile, not just your top strengths

-How the assessment can give deeply customized (and accurate!) feedback based on where each of your strengths stack up

-Why Andrew loves fancy words and is well suited to podcast hosting

And so much more!

Overthinking.

It's never been a problem for me, and I'm sure you've never been caught in that trap either.

HAHA.

Ok now we can be serious.

In the Information and Social Media era, it's easy to get stuck in our own heads. Trapped in thoughts that keep us away from healthy truth, thoughts that keep us away from calmness and serenity, and even thoughts that keep us away from the sensations in our own bodies.

Through a series of stories and short exercises Laura Gavigan takes us on a journey of internal connection where we can shake off the overthinking and embrace the feelings and sensations in our bodies.

Laura is a mindfulness teacher and here are just a few things you'll learn in today's episode:

-The power of regular gratitude

-A quick formula to stop overthinking and tap into your feelings, scientifically known as the "Oooo and Ugh" exercise

When I say a phenom from South Africa taking the world by storm, you may think I'm talking about Elon Musk, but in fact I'm talking about someone with just as much possibility, Marko Stavrou!

This podcast was recorded on HIS 18th BIRTHDAY! Marko has done more for entrepreneurs by age 18 than I had by age 30!

We talked about Generation Z in the workforce, personal branding, running a podcast, how he convinced his parents to let him homeschool so he could focus on his business and so much more.

Here are a few gems I took away from our conversation:

-Some people listening in are living their lives like they're going to get a second chance after they die

-45% of teens are checking their phones after midnight

-A school system built for everyone leaves many students frustrated and floundering from lack of appropriate challenge

-How he got accepted to a University program designed for professionals in their 30's and 40's

I know you'll love this episode, so please don't hesitate to reach out to Marko, I know he'd love to hear a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY from you!
