Quotes

I believe curiosity leads to serendipity

My curiosity is the foundation for my success

Creativity is about thinking and your approach to life

If you force something you’re going to lose your authenticity and your originality

If you’re stuck in a tunnel and deaf to the conversations happening in the world you’re going to fail.

Adam Grant, Wharton professor and New York times writer on work and psychology joins us share counterintuitive lessons on non-conformity from his new book, Originals

Getting comfortable with ideas that people may not agree with

Paying attention to the moments that mesmerize us

Developing confidence in yourself as a learner

Breaking conformist behavioral patterns in the education system

System justification theory and how it impacts our decisions

Instructor driven vs student lead learning

A key to overcoming the fear of failure

I think people have the relationship with confidence and success backwards. Confidence is won through success.
