Adam Grant - The Potential of Your Potential

About this episode

<p>World leading organisational psychologists, Adam Grant is this week's guest in <em>The Academy of Imperfection </em>and honestly, we can&rsquo;t believe how much ground the brilliant man managed to cover in this episode.&nbsp;</p> <p>I mean, sure, you might expect him to touch on the value of embracing our imperfections. Or perhaps he might explore imposter syndrome &amp; the importance in believing in others' belief in yourself. Or how procrastination can actually be a creative force. Or maybe even some tips for those of us who have found ourselves languishing.</p> <p>All of this might seem pretty reasonable stuff to cover. However you might not expect a deep dive into the lessons learned from a junior olympic diving career or an actual magic trick! This ep covers it all&hellip;and much much more.&nbsp;<br><br></p> <p>To watch this episode on youtube (and see the magic trick) follow this link: <a href="https://youtu.be/s2sY3-mT-u8">https://youtu.be/s2sY3-mT-u8</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>If you&rsquo;re interested in hearing more from Adam, the best place to start is his website: <a href="https://adamgrant.net">https://adamgrant.net</a></p> <p>Recommended books &amp; articles mentioned in the episode:</p> <ul> <li>Hidden Potential, The Science of Achieving Greater Things, by Adam Grant: <a href="https://bit.ly/3wBynWW">https://bit.ly/3wBynWW</a></li> <li>Give and Take, A Revolutionary Approach to Success, by Adam Grant: <a href="https://bit.ly/3TrKwqI">https://bit.ly/3TrKwqI</a></li> <li>Creativity Inc: Overcoming Unseen Forces That Stand In The Way of True Inspiration, by Ed Catmull: <a href="https://bit.ly/49ZgNur">https://bit.ly/49ZgNur</a></li> <li>Born Standing Up: A Comics Life, by Steve Martin: <a href="https://bit.ly/3TnZTjK">https://bit.ly/3TnZTjK</a></li> <li>It&rsquo;s Called Languishing (article) by Adam Grant <a href="https://nyti.ms/48J86Uf">https://nyti.ms/48J86Uf</a></li> </ul> <p>Listen to Adam&rsquo;s interview with Steve Martin on his ReThinking Podcast: <a href="https://bit.ly/3Tosvtb">https://bit.ly/3Tosvtb</a> and transcript:&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/3T3cKXa">https://bit.ly/3T3cKXa</a></p> <p>To watch Matthew Mitcham&rsquo;s dive, follow think link: <a href="https://bit.ly/3InmPJJ">https://bit.ly/3InmPJJ</a></p> <p>To listen to our episode with Dr Emily on Truth vs Harmony, follow this link: <a href="https://apple.co/40pgYO7">https://apple.co/40pgYO7</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
