In this episode, Casey and Tim discuss some of the theoretical underpinnings behind the turn to strength-based thinking. They explain their take on what strengths really are, how to best leverage them - and of course, what might get in the way from time-to-time. And don't miss the last few minutes in which the origin story of "it depends" emerges.
Opening quote: "In most cases, strengths and weaknesses are two sides of the same coin. A strength in one situation is a weakness in another, yet often the person can't switch gears. It's a very subtle thing to talk about strengths and weaknesses because almost always they're the same thing." ~Steve Jobs

How many times in a day do you hear people refer to someone's 'personality'? Or use 'personality' as an excuse for...anything. While personality is an often cited reason for all sorts of things (mostly problems), it is often misused and misunderstood. Listen as Casey and Tim break down their conceptualization of personality, which goes beyond just traits.
Opening quote: "If it wasn't for the coffee, I'd have no identifiable personality whatsoever."
-David Letterman
Personality: The enduring and unique structural constellation of one’s characteristics, styles, and traits which asynchronously interact with the socio-circumstantial environment to manifest in varying behavior.Learn more about Tim and Casey's conceptualization of personality: https://www.careprofiler.org/personalitysystemtheory.html
