Your Past as an Asset

Have you ever noticed how two people can go through something similar? For one person, it takes them under. And the other person? They seem to get past it\u2014maybe even grow from it.

I ask because going through challenging\u2014even traumatic\u2014experiences is part of the human experience. I\u2019m not saying it\u2019s equally distributed. But clearly, life is not always up and to the right.

And as you grow as a leader, it\u2019s only a matter of time before you\u2019re put into situations that can cause you to question your abilities, wonder if you\u2019re up to it, and maybe even back down from the challenge.

Or, interestingly, those situations may be what propel you forward in your ability to lead and deliver.

In this episode, we\u2019re exploring the role of experience and how it shapes us. And I\u2019m excited to introduce you to a new book entitled Experiential Intelligence: Harness the Power of Experience for Personal and Business Breakthroughs by Soren Kaplan.

In this discussion, you\u2019ll learn about XQ--Experiential Intelligence--and how it compares to IQ, EQ, and other attempts to understand our intelligences. Soren will talk about self-limiting beliefs and how we can identify them and\u2014more importantly\u2014get beyond them. It\u2019s a great discussion with a guy who has a passion for helping us turn our past experiences into assets for our good\u2014as individuals and for teams. I can\u2019t wait to share this with you.
