#MindsetMonday S2 EP8 - Not Getting Caught Up in Criticism or Praise

George Couros shares an idea that he has been struggling with - dealing with the naysayers and recognizing the praise from others. In this episode, Couros reminds us to evaluate ourselves and do things that are true to us and who we are. Adam Grant shared this in a tweet: "The time people spend building personal brands would be better invested in personal connections. Products have brands. People have relationships and reputations. Authenticity is not about marketing yourself to create an image. It’s about aligning your actions with your values.” After sharing and reflecting on this quote, Couros has this advice: "Appreciate the kindness of strangers, but care more of what you think of yourself, that is the one person you will wake up with every day." Quotes (PIP): Don't get caught up in the negatives - this doesn't mean don't take criticism - but also, don't get too caught up in the praise of others. "Appreciate the kindness of strangers, but care more of what you think of yourself, that is the one person you will wake up with every day." - George Couros Think of the things that you love and share them with the world.
