Eric Sheninger: Focus on what you do well first! - The #InnovatorsMindset Podcast S4 EP34

George Couros begins this episode with a reflection on an article he read about literacy rates and the importance of emphasizing strengths as opposed to utilizing a deficit model. In this episode of The Innovator’s Mindset with Eric Sheninger, ideas about strengths, interests and values are discussed and how important it truly is to go beyond the “compliment sandwich” and help people feel valued. Couros and Sheninger talk like old friends about everything from blogging to sports! Quotes: “...everyone has clarity in terms of what they are doing, why they are doing it, and how they can do it better.” - Eric Sheninger Links: Eric Sheniger LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/esheninger Eric Sheninger X - https://twitter.com/E_Sheninger?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor Eric Sheninger Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/esheninger/?hl=en Eric Sheninger Blog - https://esheninger.blogspot.com/ Eric Sheninger Books - https://www.amazon.com/Eric-C.-Sheninger/e/B00DXGGGUQ/ref=dp_byline_cont_pop_book_1 __________________________________________ Please share your thoughts with us on Twitter or Instagram at #InnovatorsMindset.
