00:00:04.062 --> 00:00:05.621
Rebecca Griffith is back on the show.
00:00:05.682 --> 00:00:06.123
Rebecca.
00:00:06.142 --> 00:00:08.003
Good morning.
00:00:08.022 --> 00:00:09.003
Always good to see you with
00:00:09.042 --> 00:00:12.944
your ring light now properly attached.
00:00:12.964 --> 00:00:13.384
You look great.
00:00:15.025 --> 00:00:15.724
We like books.
00:00:16.364 --> 00:00:16.964
For a while there,
00:00:17.045 --> 00:00:18.006
I wasn't reading as much.
00:00:18.085 --> 00:00:19.326
I think it's because I
00:00:19.365 --> 00:00:20.565
wasn't traveling as much.
00:00:21.227 --> 00:00:22.327
And then since the last time
00:00:22.347 --> 00:00:23.126
you were on the show,
00:00:23.187 --> 00:00:24.486
which was just like a week or two ago,
00:00:25.187 --> 00:00:26.568
I wound up diving into like
00:00:26.748 --> 00:00:27.707
three different books.
00:00:28.007 --> 00:00:29.129
It's Feast Your Famine with me.
00:00:29.408 --> 00:00:30.048
What do you want me to do?
00:00:31.117 --> 00:00:33.499
I only finished my romance novel.
00:00:33.658 --> 00:00:34.100
I'm not going to lie.
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:34.579
That's all that I have.
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:35.820
I'll get to the romance novels.
00:00:35.941 --> 00:00:36.960
I have not yet gotten to the
00:00:36.981 --> 00:00:37.661
romance novels.
00:00:38.421 --> 00:00:39.463
But do you want to talk about your,
00:00:39.603 --> 00:00:40.182
we're just going to talk
00:00:40.203 --> 00:00:40.783
about book and what we
00:00:40.802 --> 00:00:41.584
learned from it so far.
00:00:41.743 --> 00:00:42.723
Mine is a little mind
00:00:42.783 --> 00:00:44.604
blowing for me personally.
00:00:44.625 --> 00:00:46.085
Tell me.
00:00:46.146 --> 00:00:47.127
I want to let you go first though.
00:00:47.146 --> 00:00:47.307
Well, no,
00:00:47.447 --> 00:00:49.247
you got to go first because I
00:00:49.268 --> 00:00:49.768
thought we were talking
00:00:49.807 --> 00:00:51.929
about our StrengthsFinder.
00:00:52.070 --> 00:00:52.909
Oh, we can do that.
00:00:52.950 --> 00:00:53.670
This is related.
00:00:53.689 --> 00:00:55.091
Okay, I'm ready.
00:00:55.170 --> 00:00:55.430
Okay.
00:00:55.551 --> 00:00:57.552
So I am in the middle of listening to
00:00:58.734 --> 00:00:59.375
which is a little different
00:00:59.395 --> 00:00:59.936
for me as well.
00:00:59.956 --> 00:01:00.655
I'm usually a reader,
00:01:00.816 --> 00:01:02.296
but I'm listening to the
00:01:02.398 --> 00:01:04.039
six types of working genius.
00:01:04.118 --> 00:01:05.359
Are you familiar with this book?
00:01:05.620 --> 00:01:07.641
No, but apparently I need to be.
00:01:07.781 --> 00:01:09.042
It's wild.
00:01:09.281 --> 00:01:09.862
Now, of course,
00:01:09.882 --> 00:01:10.683
like all these books
00:01:10.742 --> 00:01:13.344
promise to be mind changing.
00:01:13.385 --> 00:01:14.206
It's going to change your mind.
00:01:14.766 --> 00:01:15.966
This one is, I think,
00:01:16.007 --> 00:01:17.968
great in its application and simplicity.
00:01:18.128 --> 00:01:19.489
So essentially what this guy
00:01:19.509 --> 00:01:20.629
figured out was he was
00:01:20.650 --> 00:01:21.811
working for an ad agency
00:01:22.510 --> 00:01:23.951
and he would do stuff that
00:01:24.012 --> 00:01:25.293
you did at an ad agency,
00:01:25.332 --> 00:01:26.194
like creative stuff.
00:01:27.509 --> 00:01:29.429
And he would thrive and he
00:01:29.448 --> 00:01:30.209
was doing great and
00:01:30.230 --> 00:01:30.989
everything was blowing up
00:01:31.010 --> 00:01:32.109
and he found purpose and he
00:01:32.129 --> 00:01:33.129
would go home and be happy.
00:01:34.170 --> 00:01:35.329
And then he got promoted, did so well,
00:01:35.349 --> 00:01:35.891
he got promoted.
00:01:37.031 --> 00:01:38.710
And that's what happens at work.
00:01:38.730 --> 00:01:39.290
You get promoted.
00:01:39.331 --> 00:01:40.870
Yeah.
00:01:41.210 --> 00:01:42.412
And your job changes because
00:01:42.451 --> 00:01:43.471
now your job is a boss.
00:01:43.552 --> 00:01:45.311
Now your job is other people
00:01:45.512 --> 00:01:46.531
not doing the thing.
00:01:48.112 --> 00:01:48.912
And he was miserable.
00:01:49.492 --> 00:01:50.692
And of course, why would you be miserable?
00:01:50.772 --> 00:01:51.992
You got promoted, you got more money,
00:01:53.293 --> 00:01:54.474
but that's not what he was good at.
00:01:56.250 --> 00:01:57.170
So he keeps going.
00:01:57.189 --> 00:01:59.730
He keeps seesawing these things because,
00:01:59.751 --> 00:02:00.010
of course,
00:02:00.031 --> 00:02:01.572
it wasn't that obvious when he did it.
00:02:01.912 --> 00:02:03.531
Now my light is out.
00:02:03.611 --> 00:02:04.912
It wasn't that obvious what
00:02:04.932 --> 00:02:08.513
was going wrong in the moment.
00:02:08.552 --> 00:02:09.332
So he winds up,
00:02:09.372 --> 00:02:10.294
his wife is having this
00:02:10.373 --> 00:02:11.454
very clear and candid
00:02:11.493 --> 00:02:12.413
conversation with him.
00:02:13.074 --> 00:02:13.715
And she says,
00:02:15.435 --> 00:02:16.335
you know what you're going to have to do,
00:02:16.395 --> 00:02:16.594
right?
00:02:16.754 --> 00:02:17.375
And he's like, what?
00:02:17.495 --> 00:02:17.915
And she's like,
00:02:17.936 --> 00:02:18.475
you're going to have to
00:02:18.536 --> 00:02:19.475
open on your own agency
00:02:19.795 --> 00:02:20.455
because you're going to
00:02:20.475 --> 00:02:21.395
need to be the boss of everything.
00:02:21.436 --> 00:02:22.377
So then you get to do whatever.
00:02:22.676 --> 00:02:23.396
And that worked.
00:02:24.689 --> 00:02:27.330
for a while until his staff
00:02:27.371 --> 00:02:30.271
was almost like, this guy is an a-hole.
00:02:31.013 --> 00:02:31.853
We don't like him.
00:02:31.953 --> 00:02:32.733
What's going on?
00:02:32.932 --> 00:02:34.954
They literally impromptu
00:02:35.314 --> 00:02:36.694
were in a meeting room in
00:02:36.735 --> 00:02:38.156
front of a whiteboard and
00:02:38.175 --> 00:02:39.836
they came up with the six
00:02:39.895 --> 00:02:40.937
types of working genius.
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:42.721
So here's what they are.
00:02:42.961 --> 00:02:44.342
They're just, so now keep in mind,
00:02:44.502 --> 00:02:45.903
this isn't like StrengthsFinders.
00:02:45.943 --> 00:02:46.944
We'll get to StrengthsFinders.
00:02:47.366 --> 00:02:48.227
Yeah.
00:02:48.266 --> 00:02:50.549
StrengthsFinders was like, there's like,
00:02:50.688 --> 00:02:52.811
there's like, there's like, there's like,
00:02:52.830 --> 00:02:55.554
there's like, there's like, there's like,
00:02:56.055 --> 00:02:56.495
there's like,
00:03:00.399 --> 00:03:01.558
And then I paid for the one
00:03:01.579 --> 00:03:02.680
where it gave me my top five.
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:03.919
And I'll bring mine up and
00:03:03.939 --> 00:03:04.520
you'll share yours.
00:03:05.060 --> 00:03:06.979
This says there are six
00:03:07.020 --> 00:03:08.260
types of working genius.
00:03:08.961 --> 00:03:11.721
We all can do all of the
00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:14.981
tasks except like a stoplight.
00:03:15.502 --> 00:03:16.921
Two are always green.
00:03:17.302 --> 00:03:18.223
They give us energy.
00:03:19.242 --> 00:03:21.843
Two are like yellow competencies.
00:03:22.524 --> 00:03:23.364
We can do them.
00:03:23.704 --> 00:03:24.883
They're neither here nor there.
00:03:25.704 --> 00:03:26.383
They don't light me up,
00:03:26.403 --> 00:03:27.245
but they don't drain me.
00:03:27.264 --> 00:03:28.564
And then there's two that drain us.
00:03:29.793 --> 00:03:31.473
So this guy realized when he
00:03:31.493 --> 00:03:33.294
was like a regular creative
00:03:33.314 --> 00:03:34.355
guy at an ad agency,
00:03:34.675 --> 00:03:36.157
he was doing greens all day.
00:03:36.217 --> 00:03:37.197
And he was bang, bang, bang.
00:03:37.236 --> 00:03:37.737
Everything's great.
00:03:37.798 --> 00:03:38.418
I'm good at it.
00:03:38.937 --> 00:03:40.019
This goes back to Ica guy.
00:03:40.239 --> 00:03:40.718
I'm good at it.
00:03:40.739 --> 00:03:41.319
The world needs it.
00:03:41.340 --> 00:03:44.401
I can get paid doing it.
00:03:44.701 --> 00:03:45.122
And I love it.
00:03:45.962 --> 00:03:46.062
Yeah.
00:03:46.082 --> 00:03:46.742
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
00:03:46.763 --> 00:03:47.924
So greens are like Ica guys.
00:03:47.943 --> 00:03:48.924
Okay.
00:03:48.943 --> 00:03:49.705
Every once in a while, dude,
00:03:49.745 --> 00:03:51.306
like some jobs require like
00:03:51.485 --> 00:03:53.086
you to do some yellow stuff.
00:03:53.167 --> 00:03:53.247
Yeah.
00:03:53.645 --> 00:03:55.926
But the idea was he wasn't a
00:03:55.986 --> 00:03:58.088
bad person or worker.
00:03:58.348 --> 00:04:00.349
He was doing the wrong work for him.
00:04:01.531 --> 00:04:01.770
Right.
00:04:02.510 --> 00:04:04.412
So that made him kind of an a-hole.
00:04:05.073 --> 00:04:05.673
So they were like, well,
00:04:05.693 --> 00:04:07.274
then we need to take your red,
00:04:07.413 --> 00:04:09.134
your frustration.
00:04:09.155 --> 00:04:11.776
So they're called geniuses, competencies,
00:04:12.317 --> 00:04:13.918
and frustrations, like a stoplight.
00:04:13.937 --> 00:04:15.378
Greens are good, yellows,
00:04:15.938 --> 00:04:17.540
and then reds are soul-sucking.
00:04:18.641 --> 00:04:19.982
The funny part is...
00:04:21.091 --> 00:04:22.733
what I would consider soul-sucking,
00:04:23.132 --> 00:04:25.052
a friend might be like, I love that,
00:04:25.413 --> 00:04:25.632
right?
00:04:25.653 --> 00:04:26.574
Because if you're like Jimmy,
00:04:26.694 --> 00:04:27.913
organize a spreadsheet every day,
00:04:27.973 --> 00:04:28.954
I'd be like, nope,
00:04:29.235 --> 00:04:32.016
rather rub salt in my eyeballs.
00:04:32.036 --> 00:04:32.755
Like couldn't do it.
00:04:32.915 --> 00:04:34.235
But some people love that.
00:04:34.576 --> 00:04:36.216
So the task is neither good nor bad.
00:04:36.557 --> 00:04:38.398
It is either a fit or a not fit for you.
00:04:38.697 --> 00:04:39.538
So you read the book or
00:04:39.577 --> 00:04:40.358
listen to the book and then
00:04:40.377 --> 00:04:41.098
you take this test,
00:04:41.117 --> 00:04:42.119
which I haven't taken yet,
00:04:43.038 --> 00:04:44.680
but I used AI and I'm sort
00:04:44.699 --> 00:04:45.639
of taking the test anyway
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:47.319
and found out that I've
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:48.581
kind of got my order
00:04:49.764 --> 00:04:50.144
Locked in.
00:04:50.223 --> 00:04:51.225
So what I want to do for you,
00:04:51.264 --> 00:04:52.206
cause you know me well enough,
00:04:52.305 --> 00:04:53.206
I'm going to give you all
00:04:53.245 --> 00:04:54.387
six of these things and a
00:04:54.406 --> 00:04:55.307
little description.
00:04:55.747 --> 00:04:58.009
And then I want you to tell
00:04:58.029 --> 00:04:59.750
me which ones you think I am.
00:05:00.872 --> 00:05:01.851
My order is all right.
00:05:02.372 --> 00:05:03.293
But are you going to do that
00:05:03.312 --> 00:05:04.533
for me so that I know?
00:05:04.593 --> 00:05:04.973
Yes.
00:05:05.173 --> 00:05:05.495
Yes.
00:05:06.115 --> 00:05:07.975
Um, um,
00:05:09.838 --> 00:05:11.238
what do you think about the book so far?
00:05:11.298 --> 00:05:12.720
And this idea, like what, like, cause you,
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:13.600
you were doing eyebrow
00:05:13.660 --> 00:05:14.701
raises and stuff like that.
00:05:14.906 --> 00:05:15.225
Well,
00:05:15.245 --> 00:05:16.807
so it's funny because I was thinking
00:05:16.827 --> 00:05:18.009
about a conversation that I
00:05:18.048 --> 00:05:19.990
had with my boss before I
00:05:20.091 --> 00:05:21.992
started my business.
00:05:22.612 --> 00:05:24.915
And it was like that guy, like, you know,
00:05:24.935 --> 00:05:25.817
where he was like,
00:05:25.916 --> 00:05:26.937
it's either time to like
00:05:27.077 --> 00:05:28.119
move on or do something
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:29.540
else or like get promoted.
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.701
And and then the promotion
00:05:31.762 --> 00:05:33.043
options for me didn't feel
00:05:33.084 --> 00:05:36.107
like it would be a good fit.
00:05:38.129 --> 00:05:39.250
And so I actually want to
00:05:39.269 --> 00:05:40.250
share that conversation
00:05:40.269 --> 00:05:41.271
that I had with him because
00:05:41.310 --> 00:05:42.512
it was really helpful.
00:05:43.331 --> 00:05:45.394
And he basically said, like I said,
00:05:45.413 --> 00:05:46.093
I've been waiting for the
00:05:46.113 --> 00:05:47.274
clinical ladder to change.
00:05:47.375 --> 00:05:49.016
I just feel like it's changed,
00:05:49.055 --> 00:05:50.357
but nothing's changed for me.
00:05:50.416 --> 00:05:51.737
Like there's nowhere else for me to go.
00:05:51.757 --> 00:05:52.218
For me, exactly.
00:05:52.237 --> 00:05:56.660
I'm still here on the clinical ladder.
00:05:56.860 --> 00:05:58.240
There's nothing else up here.
00:05:59.822 --> 00:06:00.543
And he kind of said, well,
00:06:00.562 --> 00:06:01.343
you've been pushing your
00:06:01.382 --> 00:06:02.423
face against the top of the
00:06:02.463 --> 00:06:03.485
clinical ladder for years.
00:06:04.507 --> 00:06:05.608
a real long time.
00:06:05.788 --> 00:06:08.689
So your choices are to like, he's like,
00:06:08.750 --> 00:06:11.591
every clinical ladder has a ceiling,
00:06:11.870 --> 00:06:13.531
like just the way that works.
00:06:13.651 --> 00:06:14.612
And there are leadership
00:06:14.653 --> 00:06:16.612
positions and there are, you know,
00:06:16.774 --> 00:06:18.553
other like research positions,
00:06:18.593 --> 00:06:19.995
like there are these options,
00:06:20.634 --> 00:06:22.115
or you can go out into the
00:06:22.136 --> 00:06:23.516
world and do what you're
00:06:23.557 --> 00:06:26.077
doing here on a bigger scale.
00:06:27.257 --> 00:06:28.699
And so that was really the
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:30.560
impetus for me to go from
00:06:31.540 --> 00:06:32.961
can I make a PT in the
00:06:33.002 --> 00:06:35.904
emergency department here outstanding to,
00:06:35.964 --> 00:06:36.906
can I put a physical
00:06:36.946 --> 00:06:38.067
therapist in every
00:06:38.107 --> 00:06:39.228
emergency department in the
00:06:39.247 --> 00:06:39.928
United States?
00:06:40.730 --> 00:06:42.432
And so do I work clinically
00:06:42.471 --> 00:06:43.632
as much as I did before?
00:06:43.733 --> 00:06:46.016
No, I am now a per diem therapist.
00:06:46.596 --> 00:06:48.879
But that allows me to not
00:06:48.939 --> 00:06:49.980
lose those pieces that I
00:06:50.060 --> 00:06:51.262
loved about what I was doing,
00:06:51.702 --> 00:06:54.127
but not be constrained by
00:06:54.166 --> 00:06:56.029
the top of a ladder and not
00:06:56.149 --> 00:06:58.052
be pushed into the next step,
00:06:58.072 --> 00:07:00.154
which is maybe people management.
00:07:00.896 --> 00:07:02.538
And I don't know that that's my strength.
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:03.598
Correct.
00:07:03.658 --> 00:07:04.459
It's a different job.
00:07:04.899 --> 00:07:07.762
So the best nurse in an
00:07:07.862 --> 00:07:10.024
emergency room doesn't mean
00:07:10.064 --> 00:07:12.026
she's going to be the next charge nurse,
00:07:12.047 --> 00:07:12.146
right?
00:07:12.166 --> 00:07:13.146
That's the person in charge of the nurse.
00:07:13.767 --> 00:07:14.569
It does not mean that.
00:07:14.869 --> 00:07:15.369
It doesn't.
00:07:15.910 --> 00:07:16.990
So just the best clinician
00:07:17.011 --> 00:07:17.690
or the one who's been there
00:07:17.711 --> 00:07:18.952
the longest doesn't mean
00:07:18.973 --> 00:07:19.432
they're going to be the
00:07:19.833 --> 00:07:21.415
greatest clinic director.
00:07:21.855 --> 00:07:22.536
No.
00:07:22.596 --> 00:07:23.216
Reverse.
00:07:23.456 --> 00:07:25.317
I see academies, associations,
00:07:25.377 --> 00:07:25.899
businesses...
00:07:26.798 --> 00:07:27.399
You know who they put in
00:07:27.420 --> 00:07:28.622
charge of communications
00:07:28.641 --> 00:07:29.283
and social media?
00:07:29.583 --> 00:07:30.603
The youngest person because
00:07:30.644 --> 00:07:32.507
they understand the TikToks.
00:07:32.826 --> 00:07:34.949
And I'm like, you're doing it wrong.
00:07:35.269 --> 00:07:36.230
You need someone who knows
00:07:36.271 --> 00:07:37.353
how to do it and likes
00:07:37.392 --> 00:07:38.795
doing it because the likes
00:07:38.834 --> 00:07:39.696
doing it part is going to
00:07:39.716 --> 00:07:41.617
make them persevere to learn it better.
00:07:41.637 --> 00:07:42.079
Yeah.
00:07:42.485 --> 00:07:43.187
right and I was having a
00:07:43.247 --> 00:07:43.987
conversation with an
00:07:44.067 --> 00:07:44.947
occupational therapist the
00:07:44.968 --> 00:07:45.927
other day she went to the
00:07:45.947 --> 00:07:49.050
big uh aota conference and
00:07:49.389 --> 00:07:50.271
she said she was really
00:07:50.310 --> 00:07:51.350
excited about the new
00:07:51.391 --> 00:07:53.293
president of aota and I'm
00:07:53.333 --> 00:07:55.954
really hopeful and we got
00:07:55.973 --> 00:07:56.995
into this conversation
00:07:57.035 --> 00:07:58.456
about whether the the
00:07:58.495 --> 00:07:59.456
president of your
00:07:59.475 --> 00:08:00.557
professional association
00:08:00.576 --> 00:08:02.778
should be a clinician and
00:08:02.838 --> 00:08:04.238
clinicians always feel like
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:05.319
the person leading them
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:06.461
should be a clinician
00:08:06.521 --> 00:08:08.041
because they want somebody
00:08:08.062 --> 00:08:10.043
to understand what clinicians go through
00:08:10.992 --> 00:08:11.512
But to me,
00:08:11.572 --> 00:08:13.033
the skill set for leading a
00:08:13.113 --> 00:08:14.713
massive organization and
00:08:14.733 --> 00:08:15.834
the skill set for being a
00:08:15.874 --> 00:08:17.675
clinician are completely different.
00:08:17.735 --> 00:08:19.454
Are they both outstanding skill sets?
00:08:19.875 --> 00:08:20.235
Yes.
00:08:20.836 --> 00:08:22.576
And there might be some crossover.
00:08:23.415 --> 00:08:24.096
For sure.
00:08:24.297 --> 00:08:24.976
Do you want some?
00:08:27.918 --> 00:08:29.937
I want the best match, right?
00:08:30.038 --> 00:08:32.078
I want somebody who understands what I do.
00:08:33.078 --> 00:08:33.918
But I need somebody who
00:08:33.958 --> 00:08:36.659
knows how to run a massive organization.
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:38.740
And I see people complaining
00:08:38.801 --> 00:08:39.740
about how much...
00:08:40.870 --> 00:08:42.211
People get paid in different
00:08:42.272 --> 00:08:43.432
roles and different things.
00:08:43.472 --> 00:08:45.774
And why does this person get
00:08:45.854 --> 00:08:46.875
paid this much?
00:08:46.894 --> 00:08:48.735
And I'm the one seeing the patients.
00:08:48.755 --> 00:08:49.296
And I'm like, well,
00:08:49.336 --> 00:08:52.238
because the pricing for
00:08:52.278 --> 00:08:53.938
this skill set is different
00:08:53.979 --> 00:08:55.539
than the pricing for this skill set.
00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:58.761
I'm not saying one is better or not.
00:08:59.280 --> 00:08:59.541
All right,
00:08:59.581 --> 00:09:00.581
so since I got a little bit of a
00:09:00.640 --> 00:09:01.221
time crunch.
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:02.522
Yeah, sorry.
00:09:02.721 --> 00:09:03.981
I'm going to give you the
00:09:04.042 --> 00:09:05.461
definition of each of the
00:09:05.522 --> 00:09:06.783
six types of working genius.
00:09:06.883 --> 00:09:08.503
And then, so if you want to take notes,
00:09:08.523 --> 00:09:09.143
because there's six,
00:09:09.283 --> 00:09:10.322
I sort of get lost when we start.
00:09:10.383 --> 00:09:12.583
All right, so they are called,
00:09:12.624 --> 00:09:13.543
I'll just give you the names first,
00:09:13.563 --> 00:09:14.384
then I'll give you the definition.
00:09:14.423 --> 00:09:18.644
They are called wonder, discernment,
00:09:19.985 --> 00:09:22.485
galvanizing, enablement,
00:09:23.379 --> 00:09:26.561
tenacity and invention so
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:27.402
now I'll go through them in
00:09:27.522 --> 00:09:28.282
that order and I'll give
00:09:28.302 --> 00:09:29.283
you a little now now you
00:09:29.302 --> 00:09:30.163
can sit there and you can
00:09:30.203 --> 00:09:31.323
check off or be like do a
00:09:31.423 --> 00:09:32.825
yes no or maybe because
00:09:33.024 --> 00:09:33.765
you're not gonna have to do
00:09:33.785 --> 00:09:34.907
like which one are my bests
00:09:35.346 --> 00:09:36.227
you're doing green yellow
00:09:36.288 --> 00:09:39.549
red genius uh let's see
00:09:39.690 --> 00:09:40.711
wonder discernment
00:09:41.610 --> 00:09:43.192
galvanizing enablement
00:09:43.511 --> 00:09:44.832
tenacity and invention
00:09:44.852 --> 00:09:47.075
invention invention
00:09:48.345 --> 00:09:48.865
So now I'll give you the
00:09:48.904 --> 00:09:49.806
definition of the
00:09:49.826 --> 00:09:51.006
description and you can
00:09:51.126 --> 00:09:54.129
guess which are two Jimmy's two geniuses,
00:09:54.528 --> 00:09:56.490
competencies, frustrations, green,
00:09:56.509 --> 00:09:56.811
yellow.
00:09:57.270 --> 00:09:59.331
So wonder sensing this
00:09:59.371 --> 00:10:00.673
person senses potential or
00:10:00.712 --> 00:10:02.394
possibility asking big
00:10:02.433 --> 00:10:06.057
questions about what could be better.
00:10:06.417 --> 00:10:08.018
Discernment using intuition
00:10:08.077 --> 00:10:10.519
and instincts to evaluate
00:10:10.599 --> 00:10:11.759
ideas and solutions.
00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:12.760
Good judgment.
00:10:14.446 --> 00:10:16.988
Galvanizing, rallying, inspiring,
00:10:17.087 --> 00:10:18.149
and pushing people into
00:10:18.249 --> 00:10:21.292
action around a project or an idea.
00:10:21.633 --> 00:10:22.192
Enablement,
00:10:22.614 --> 00:10:24.735
providing support and help to
00:10:24.956 --> 00:10:26.197
others' ideas and efforts.
00:10:26.758 --> 00:10:28.038
This person is ready to assist.
00:10:29.419 --> 00:10:30.000
Tenacity,
00:10:30.421 --> 00:10:32.102
driving work across the finish line,
00:10:32.363 --> 00:10:35.245
committed to completing tasks and goals.
00:10:36.149 --> 00:10:39.049
and invention creating original ideas,
00:10:39.270 --> 00:10:39.831
solutions,
00:10:39.931 --> 00:10:42.871
or plans from scratch loves brainstorming,
00:10:43.393 --> 00:10:46.594
which are Jimmy's geniuses, competencies,
00:10:47.193 --> 00:10:47.815
frustrations.
00:10:48.054 --> 00:10:48.715
What are your guesses?
00:10:48.735 --> 00:10:50.076
Okay.
00:10:50.375 --> 00:10:51.856
I think your geniuses are
00:10:51.937 --> 00:10:52.917
invention and wonder.
00:10:52.937 --> 00:10:55.298
Okay.
00:10:55.378 --> 00:10:59.580
And I would say your yellows
00:10:59.900 --> 00:11:01.881
are discernment and enablement.
00:11:01.902 --> 00:11:02.601
Okay.
00:11:04.015 --> 00:11:05.177
And your red ones are
00:11:05.236 --> 00:11:06.957
tenacity and galvanizing.
00:11:08.057 --> 00:11:09.298
I have originally have
00:11:09.339 --> 00:11:10.458
galvanizing in yellow.
00:11:11.019 --> 00:11:11.299
Good.
00:11:11.379 --> 00:11:12.059
That's what I have.
00:11:12.100 --> 00:11:12.659
So you would change.
00:11:12.701 --> 00:11:13.740
So why did you switch that?
00:11:13.801 --> 00:11:14.942
Why did you put galvanizing
00:11:15.062 --> 00:11:16.842
in red in frustrations for me?
00:11:17.143 --> 00:11:18.423
I'm curious.
00:11:18.462 --> 00:11:20.865
Well, because I feel like wonder for sure.
00:11:20.904 --> 00:11:22.284
I feel like it's a green one for you.
00:11:22.325 --> 00:11:23.086
So here's what I had.
00:11:23.125 --> 00:11:23.566
I'll just do it.
00:11:23.605 --> 00:11:25.047
So yeah, I have invention and wonder.
00:11:25.672 --> 00:11:27.374
well see those two right so
00:11:27.734 --> 00:11:29.115
invention originally I was
00:11:29.174 --> 00:11:30.035
not going to have in your
00:11:30.056 --> 00:11:30.636
greens oh okay to me that
00:11:30.677 --> 00:11:34.320
was the definition I was
00:11:34.340 --> 00:11:35.741
like oh that's definitely
00:11:35.782 --> 00:11:36.883
jimmy so when I heard the
00:11:36.903 --> 00:11:37.803
words I was like that's not
00:11:37.823 --> 00:11:38.583
jimmy but then when you
00:11:38.604 --> 00:11:39.565
said the definition I was
00:11:39.605 --> 00:11:42.067
like definitely and then
00:11:43.191 --> 00:11:44.231
I originally thought
00:11:44.292 --> 00:11:45.471
discernment would be one of
00:11:45.491 --> 00:11:46.153
your top ones.
00:11:46.192 --> 00:11:47.673
So I guess maybe if I have
00:11:47.692 --> 00:11:49.714
to pick like my final
00:11:49.815 --> 00:11:51.575
answer is that tenacity and
00:11:51.634 --> 00:11:53.416
discernment are your reds
00:11:54.057 --> 00:11:54.917
and galvanizing and
00:11:54.956 --> 00:11:56.298
enablement for your yellows.
00:11:56.437 --> 00:11:58.058
So I had Will, do you know Will Humphries?
00:11:59.846 --> 00:12:02.168
Will's a PT at Arizona, similar to me.
00:12:02.227 --> 00:12:03.488
And he brought this concept
00:12:03.528 --> 00:12:04.769
to me or he's like a third
00:12:04.808 --> 00:12:05.649
person to bring this up.
00:12:05.928 --> 00:12:07.129
And he's like, Jimmy, you're just like me.
00:12:07.190 --> 00:12:09.049
You're an invention galvanizer.
00:12:09.331 --> 00:12:10.691
And then as I started taking the test,
00:12:10.730 --> 00:12:12.511
I'm like, I can do galvanizing.
00:12:13.152 --> 00:12:13.432
Yes.
00:12:13.572 --> 00:12:13.912
But I want,
00:12:14.052 --> 00:12:15.393
I want to be next to the galvanizer.
00:12:16.013 --> 00:12:17.433
like I'm the robin to the
00:12:17.874 --> 00:12:18.953
bat to the galvanizer's
00:12:18.994 --> 00:12:20.715
batman yeah I could do it
00:12:21.014 --> 00:12:22.475
in a pinch but it's not my
00:12:22.495 --> 00:12:22.995
it's not the thing I want
00:12:23.015 --> 00:12:23.956
to be doing the most amount
00:12:23.975 --> 00:12:25.017
of time no because it takes
00:12:25.037 --> 00:12:26.236
a lot of energy I'd rather
00:12:26.256 --> 00:12:27.437
just run into the burning
00:12:27.477 --> 00:12:28.918
building and be like I'm
00:12:28.957 --> 00:12:30.278
going instead of hey
00:12:30.318 --> 00:12:31.139
everybody let's run into
00:12:31.158 --> 00:12:32.480
the burning building I'm
00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:33.460
like an invention is your
00:12:33.500 --> 00:12:34.760
number one that's like your
00:12:34.780 --> 00:12:36.341
faith and then wonder for
00:12:36.380 --> 00:12:37.961
sure right so now I'm gonna
00:12:38.001 --> 00:12:40.842
guess for you okay I'm
00:12:40.883 --> 00:12:42.724
doing this live okay so let
00:12:42.744 --> 00:12:43.563
me look at these again so
00:12:43.583 --> 00:12:45.004
I'm gonna do that
00:12:46.602 --> 00:12:47.743
I know you had to do it live too,
00:12:47.802 --> 00:12:48.623
but I'm not good.
00:12:49.043 --> 00:12:50.224
I'm not good at discernment.
00:12:50.443 --> 00:12:51.923
So I think you,
00:12:51.943 --> 00:12:53.303
I think you are good at discernment.
00:12:53.344 --> 00:12:55.684
So I would put discernment at the top.
00:12:57.264 --> 00:13:01.806
I would put wonder also at the top.
00:13:01.966 --> 00:13:03.346
So do discernment and wonder
00:13:03.365 --> 00:13:04.346
for you in your greens.
00:13:06.145 --> 00:13:08.706
I would do galvanizing and
00:13:08.746 --> 00:13:10.407
tenacity in your reds
00:13:11.086 --> 00:13:13.668
frustrations leaving in wait,
00:13:13.707 --> 00:13:15.567
galvanizing and man,
00:13:17.576 --> 00:13:19.120
I think you're a yellow invention.
00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:20.442
I think your invention would
00:13:20.462 --> 00:13:21.645
be a competency.
00:13:22.567 --> 00:13:24.932
And now I've got galvanizing enablement.
00:13:25.293 --> 00:13:26.375
Tenacity is on your bottom.
00:13:26.434 --> 00:13:26.996
You're like me.
00:13:27.236 --> 00:13:27.577
I think.
00:13:27.938 --> 00:13:28.298
Yeah.
00:13:28.820 --> 00:13:28.921
Yeah.
00:13:29.754 --> 00:13:30.634
And I think you would be a
00:13:30.674 --> 00:13:31.975
galvanizer in your yellow.
00:13:31.995 --> 00:13:32.655
You do it,
00:13:32.716 --> 00:13:33.735
but it wouldn't be your primary
00:13:33.755 --> 00:13:34.956
because that's a lot of energy,
00:13:35.015 --> 00:13:36.176
which means enablement
00:13:36.535 --> 00:13:37.397
would be on the bottom.
00:13:37.956 --> 00:13:38.277
Am I close?
00:13:38.297 --> 00:13:38.797
What is discernment again?
00:13:38.817 --> 00:13:41.297
Read that one again.
00:13:41.336 --> 00:13:42.677
Discernment is like,
00:13:42.697 --> 00:13:43.618
do you ever just someone
00:13:43.697 --> 00:13:45.317
who has like really good taste,
00:13:45.457 --> 00:13:46.399
you pitch them an idea.
00:13:46.479 --> 00:13:47.938
And even if they're not in
00:13:47.979 --> 00:13:49.698
your area of expertise, they're like,
00:13:50.019 --> 00:13:51.399
hang on, why would that work?
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:52.960
And you're like, well, and they're like,
00:13:55.184 --> 00:13:55.865
I don't think it's there.
00:13:56.005 --> 00:13:56.546
They're not going to tell
00:13:56.566 --> 00:13:57.225
you how to fix it.
00:13:57.426 --> 00:13:57.986
That's different,
00:13:58.246 --> 00:13:58.767
but they're going to be
00:13:58.787 --> 00:13:59.868
able to assess like,
00:13:59.908 --> 00:14:00.548
these are the people who
00:14:00.587 --> 00:14:02.309
can walk into a room and they're like,
00:14:02.590 --> 00:14:04.971
needs a cat, needs a couch, needs a rug,
00:14:05.071 --> 00:14:05.672
needs a plant,
00:14:06.152 --> 00:14:07.773
but in like any setting in like,
00:14:08.293 --> 00:14:09.293
like they're good.
00:14:10.115 --> 00:14:10.674
Not you.
00:14:11.075 --> 00:14:11.414
No,
00:14:11.556 --> 00:14:13.736
I feel like if I had to pick my top two,
00:14:13.777 --> 00:14:15.778
it'd be wonder and galvanizing.
00:14:16.278 --> 00:14:17.219
Oh, okay.
00:14:17.239 --> 00:14:19.259
Cause I like to think I motivate people.
00:14:19.520 --> 00:14:19.701
Well,
00:14:19.721 --> 00:14:22.241
that's good at like seeing people's
00:14:22.261 --> 00:14:23.842
gifts and helping motivate
00:14:23.863 --> 00:14:24.644
them towards it.
00:14:25.225 --> 00:14:27.447
and um so I would pick
00:14:27.506 --> 00:14:29.528
galvanizer and wonder for
00:14:29.548 --> 00:14:32.149
my top two and then maybe
00:14:32.528 --> 00:14:36.129
discernment and invention
00:14:36.289 --> 00:14:38.191
second and then tenacity
00:14:38.250 --> 00:14:40.072
and enablement last yeah
00:14:40.111 --> 00:14:42.692
tenacity is tough but those
00:14:42.712 --> 00:14:43.493
are the people remember
00:14:43.513 --> 00:14:45.354
when I did party with a purpose yeah
00:14:46.187 --> 00:14:49.812
I, it wasn't on purpose, purpose,
00:14:50.533 --> 00:14:52.154
but Karen Hughes from the
00:14:52.195 --> 00:14:53.615
Academy of Leadership and Innovation,
00:14:53.996 --> 00:14:54.677
we sort of,
00:14:55.258 --> 00:14:56.440
I pitched the idea in a Zoom
00:14:56.460 --> 00:14:58.062
call and she and I sort of
00:14:58.101 --> 00:14:59.322
found each other and she was like,
00:15:01.024 --> 00:15:02.167
and in my guess, she's,
00:15:02.847 --> 00:15:04.490
I think her number one would be tenacity.
00:15:05.791 --> 00:15:06.932
And I feel like the two of
00:15:06.971 --> 00:15:08.452
us together have so many good ideas,
00:15:08.493 --> 00:15:09.354
but we can't get them over
00:15:09.374 --> 00:15:09.833
the finish line.
00:15:09.854 --> 00:15:10.094
Correct.
00:15:10.754 --> 00:15:11.595
So without Karen,
00:15:11.615 --> 00:15:12.796
that event wouldn't have happened,
00:15:12.895 --> 00:15:13.756
even though everybody saw
00:15:13.876 --> 00:15:15.278
me as the person who put it on,
00:15:15.758 --> 00:15:16.739
because I was the loud one.
00:15:16.798 --> 00:15:18.159
I was like the one asking the questions.
00:15:18.460 --> 00:15:21.201
But without a Karen, without a tenacity,
00:15:21.322 --> 00:15:22.702
and she's probably enablement,
00:15:23.003 --> 00:15:25.004
without a Karen, that doesn't happen.
00:15:25.784 --> 00:15:26.666
It's a really great idea
00:15:26.686 --> 00:15:27.426
that sits on the shelf.
00:15:27.525 --> 00:15:28.586
Ideas are a dime a dozen,
00:15:29.408 --> 00:15:30.327
but you have to be paired.
00:15:30.408 --> 00:15:32.970
And so what's the takeaway from all this?
00:15:32.990 --> 00:15:34.551
I need a higher tenacity.
00:15:35.816 --> 00:15:36.035
Well,
00:15:36.235 --> 00:15:38.596
Will has an organization called
00:15:38.636 --> 00:15:39.998
Virtual Rockstars where he
00:15:41.359 --> 00:15:43.318
is like a matchmaking
00:15:43.359 --> 00:15:45.259
service for virtual assistants.
00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:46.181
You need to talk to Will.
00:15:47.142 --> 00:15:48.162
Because Will is going to
00:15:48.182 --> 00:15:49.842
have you take six types of working genius,
00:15:50.163 --> 00:15:51.123
and he has everybody that
00:15:51.163 --> 00:15:53.004
works who wants to work for him take it,
00:15:53.244 --> 00:15:55.504
and he matches the right people.
00:15:55.845 --> 00:15:57.525
Because now you have a common language.
00:15:57.605 --> 00:15:59.245
You have a common nomenclature,
00:15:59.365 --> 00:16:00.506
as the academics would call it.
00:16:00.787 --> 00:16:01.567
And you're able to say,
00:16:01.947 --> 00:16:03.028
Jimmy doesn't need to hang
00:16:03.087 --> 00:16:04.687
out with Will on a regular
00:16:04.707 --> 00:16:06.109
basis in a good way.
00:16:06.269 --> 00:16:07.788
The problem would be so many
00:16:07.869 --> 00:16:09.009
ideas but no execution.
00:16:09.750 --> 00:16:10.769
But you get Jimmy and Will
00:16:10.789 --> 00:16:12.270
in a room once a month and
00:16:12.291 --> 00:16:13.770
we get fifty ideas and then
00:16:13.791 --> 00:16:14.991
we give it to a discernment
00:16:15.032 --> 00:16:15.731
person and we go,
00:16:16.011 --> 00:16:16.812
which are the two that are
00:16:16.831 --> 00:16:18.072
most likely to succeed?
00:16:18.312 --> 00:16:18.572
Good.
00:16:18.852 --> 00:16:19.972
You hand it to a tenacity
00:16:20.033 --> 00:16:21.192
enablement person and you're like,
00:16:21.493 --> 00:16:22.333
help them execute.
00:16:23.293 --> 00:16:24.653
This explains a lot of why
00:16:24.953 --> 00:16:25.754
the stuff that I do.
00:16:26.095 --> 00:16:26.735
People have been telling me
00:16:26.894 --> 00:16:28.014
to launch a course on how
00:16:28.034 --> 00:16:28.955
to teach podcasters how to
00:16:28.995 --> 00:16:30.755
podcast for years.
00:16:30.816 --> 00:16:31.296
I could do it.
00:16:31.875 --> 00:16:32.616
I don't have a tenacity or
00:16:32.636 --> 00:16:33.297
an enablement person.
00:16:33.317 --> 00:16:33.397
Yeah,
00:16:33.836 --> 00:16:35.596
I've got a whole book of things that
00:16:35.616 --> 00:16:37.738
I want to do.
00:16:38.393 --> 00:16:38.712
Right?
00:16:38.972 --> 00:16:39.854
But this explains,
00:16:40.274 --> 00:16:41.274
but here's the flip side.
00:16:41.735 --> 00:16:43.596
The tenacity and enablement
00:16:43.615 --> 00:16:44.956
people are sitting around going,
00:16:45.317 --> 00:16:46.518
wish I had someone to tee
00:16:46.538 --> 00:16:47.317
off on a good idea with.
00:16:47.357 --> 00:16:48.899
Now hiring tenacity.
00:16:49.979 --> 00:16:50.659
Neither of these,
00:16:50.860 --> 00:16:52.541
none of these six are better or worse.
00:16:52.961 --> 00:16:54.782
It's just understanding who you are,
00:16:55.523 --> 00:16:56.462
what gives you energy.
00:16:56.602 --> 00:16:57.443
I could go to a conference
00:16:57.464 --> 00:16:59.043
and talk to people all damn day.
00:16:59.325 --> 00:17:00.804
I know people who that drains them.
00:17:00.825 --> 00:17:01.446
Yeah.
00:17:02.323 --> 00:17:02.744
I get it.
00:17:03.144 --> 00:17:04.424
Doesn't mean what I do is better.
00:17:04.464 --> 00:17:06.705
It's just understanding you
00:17:07.185 --> 00:17:08.707
and like Lego bricks,
00:17:09.267 --> 00:17:10.666
which ones you should link
00:17:10.727 --> 00:17:13.028
up with in different situations.
00:17:13.048 --> 00:17:14.088
This is not universal
00:17:14.989 --> 00:17:16.789
because if it was a brainstorming sesh,
00:17:17.309 --> 00:17:18.951
a tenacity is annoying
00:17:18.971 --> 00:17:20.090
because they're like, are we done yet?
00:17:20.151 --> 00:17:21.551
And I'm like, dude, I don't, I don't know.
00:17:21.951 --> 00:17:24.573
We're going to go far wide and deep.
00:17:24.593 --> 00:17:25.553
The discernment people are
00:17:25.593 --> 00:17:27.134
really annoying during that too.
00:17:27.998 --> 00:17:28.979
But so they're better and
00:17:29.038 --> 00:17:29.859
worse in different,
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:30.540
they're just better or
00:17:30.601 --> 00:17:31.041
worse in different.
00:17:31.082 --> 00:17:31.362
But like,
00:17:31.461 --> 00:17:32.703
I need you not in the room while
00:17:32.743 --> 00:17:33.986
I'm doing that because I
00:17:34.026 --> 00:17:35.186
want to have all the ideas.
00:17:35.346 --> 00:17:36.848
I don't want to judge the ideas right now.
00:17:36.888 --> 00:17:37.470
And I don't want to have to
00:17:37.509 --> 00:17:38.832
explain them yet.
00:17:39.454 --> 00:17:39.914
Right.
00:17:40.275 --> 00:17:41.816
And then if it's a bad idea,
00:17:41.855 --> 00:17:42.556
tell me later.
00:17:42.695 --> 00:17:44.135
But right now I need to just
00:17:44.215 --> 00:17:45.215
get the idea out there
00:17:45.256 --> 00:17:46.717
because maybe the piece of
00:17:46.737 --> 00:17:47.957
that idea is going to end
00:17:48.076 --> 00:17:49.217
up being the idea.
00:17:49.936 --> 00:17:51.178
I call them idea parts.
00:17:51.278 --> 00:17:52.518
I'll be like, I have an idea part.
00:17:52.978 --> 00:17:54.157
I don't have a fully formed idea.
00:17:54.478 --> 00:17:56.219
You bring that in my mind to
00:17:56.259 --> 00:17:57.419
a discernment person.
00:17:57.939 --> 00:17:59.720
They'll be able to be like, huh?
00:17:59.819 --> 00:18:00.079
Yeah,
00:18:00.140 --> 00:18:01.279
you're eighty five percent of the way
00:18:01.299 --> 00:18:01.519
there.
00:18:02.679 --> 00:18:03.479
And then if they have a
00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:04.960
little maybe more enablement in them,
00:18:05.019 --> 00:18:05.721
they'll be able to go,
00:18:06.181 --> 00:18:07.041
what if you did that?
00:18:07.102 --> 00:18:08.082
And you're like, damn,
00:18:08.122 --> 00:18:09.103
I never would have saw that.
00:18:09.563 --> 00:18:10.403
Yes.
00:18:10.503 --> 00:18:11.304
We're better when we
00:18:11.324 --> 00:18:12.964
understand ourselves and
00:18:13.005 --> 00:18:15.046
the people on our team.
00:18:15.946 --> 00:18:16.666
This book is wild.
00:18:16.747 --> 00:18:18.228
It was eleven dollars on Audible.
00:18:18.647 --> 00:18:20.328
I don't get a nickel.
00:18:20.368 --> 00:18:21.710
I was going to do the one
00:18:21.730 --> 00:18:23.611
you said last week, the Mel Robbins one.
00:18:23.631 --> 00:18:24.451
But now I'm going to bump
00:18:24.471 --> 00:18:25.432
this one up the list
00:18:25.491 --> 00:18:27.333
because this one Mel Robbins is great.
00:18:27.792 --> 00:18:28.114
She's great.
00:18:28.134 --> 00:18:28.773
I'm still reading it.
00:18:28.814 --> 00:18:29.453
And I bought the book.
00:18:31.750 --> 00:18:32.872
that is sort of how you
00:18:32.932 --> 00:18:33.832
interact with the world.
00:18:33.872 --> 00:18:35.053
Mel Robbins' Let Them Theory.
00:18:35.073 --> 00:18:36.233
Yeah.
00:18:36.294 --> 00:18:36.513
I mean,
00:18:36.594 --> 00:18:37.835
I read the first two chapters and
00:18:37.855 --> 00:18:38.555
I'm like, get it.
00:18:38.674 --> 00:18:38.835
Like,
00:18:39.115 --> 00:18:40.096
I'm not saying I can't learn more
00:18:40.115 --> 00:18:40.556
from the book,
00:18:40.635 --> 00:18:41.396
but I'm pretty sure she's
00:18:41.416 --> 00:18:42.136
good at explaining and
00:18:42.156 --> 00:18:43.498
she's going to re-explain
00:18:43.518 --> 00:18:45.538
the same concept two more times.
00:18:46.259 --> 00:18:47.359
I'm listening to Six Types
00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:49.121
of Working Genius and I'm like, hot damn.
00:18:49.280 --> 00:18:49.701
They've also,
00:18:49.820 --> 00:18:51.041
now they've switched their business.
00:18:51.082 --> 00:18:51.442
They are,
00:18:51.561 --> 00:18:52.923
the guy who invented this is still,
00:18:52.982 --> 00:18:53.943
I think, an ad agency,
00:18:54.304 --> 00:18:55.263
but half of their business
00:18:55.284 --> 00:18:56.664
is going into giant corporations,
00:18:57.025 --> 00:18:58.925
teaching this and doing workshops.
00:18:59.205 --> 00:18:59.987
He made his own job.
00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:02.421
Yeah,
00:19:02.500 --> 00:19:04.041
I'm even just thinking about like
00:19:04.642 --> 00:19:06.242
medical teams and how this
00:19:06.262 --> 00:19:07.663
would be really helpful too.
00:19:08.424 --> 00:19:10.185
Because how are medical teams usually,
00:19:10.286 --> 00:19:13.167
what's the hierarchy?
00:19:13.208 --> 00:19:13.949
Gosh.
00:19:13.989 --> 00:19:16.330
Degrees, number of years in service,
00:19:16.711 --> 00:19:17.010
right?
00:19:18.112 --> 00:19:18.491
Whatever,
00:19:18.711 --> 00:19:20.373
like none of those are working genius.
00:19:20.574 --> 00:19:21.433
How long you're there?
00:19:22.035 --> 00:19:23.675
I mean, get it, like seniority.
00:19:23.695 --> 00:19:25.277
What certification you have.
00:19:25.317 --> 00:19:26.877
What certifications, what degrees,
00:19:27.077 --> 00:19:28.159
what your specialty is.
00:19:28.778 --> 00:19:29.759
But what if the invention
00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:30.621
guy is the janitor?
00:19:31.868 --> 00:19:32.869
And I'm not knocking janitors,
00:19:32.890 --> 00:19:33.869
but I'm just saying we
00:19:33.890 --> 00:19:34.730
would discount that
00:19:34.770 --> 00:19:36.932
person's idea based on their status,
00:19:36.951 --> 00:19:38.833
their perceived status using air quotes.
00:19:38.853 --> 00:19:40.773
Okay.
00:19:40.854 --> 00:19:41.513
Wild, right?
00:19:41.534 --> 00:19:41.614
Yeah.
00:19:43.474 --> 00:19:44.915
So I have to go to a meeting
00:19:44.935 --> 00:19:45.557
in three minutes.
00:19:45.817 --> 00:19:46.017
Yeah.
00:19:46.496 --> 00:19:47.856
but I wanted to share this with you.
00:19:47.957 --> 00:19:49.198
I was listening to this book going,
00:19:49.337 --> 00:19:49.958
Rebecca needs this.
00:19:50.219 --> 00:19:51.378
Cause you and I are wonder
00:19:51.419 --> 00:19:52.700
invention sort of people-y
00:19:53.421 --> 00:19:54.260
and you've come to me.
00:19:54.401 --> 00:19:55.561
I think I can help other
00:19:55.582 --> 00:19:56.542
people with their ideas and
00:19:56.603 --> 00:19:58.084
executions a lot easier than myself,
00:19:58.124 --> 00:19:59.105
but that's sort of a
00:19:59.204 --> 00:20:00.184
universal truth anyway.
00:20:01.105 --> 00:20:02.146
But I can see you, you're like,
00:20:02.166 --> 00:20:02.767
I want to write a book.
00:20:02.787 --> 00:20:03.667
I'm like, hell yeah.
00:20:04.587 --> 00:20:05.628
My first instinct is you
00:20:05.648 --> 00:20:06.309
need someone else to write
00:20:06.349 --> 00:20:07.130
the book with you.
00:20:07.630 --> 00:20:08.191
You're the,
00:20:08.250 --> 00:20:09.832
here's someone put it in this context.
00:20:11.413 --> 00:20:13.654
Wonder invention people, galvanizers,
00:20:14.214 --> 00:20:15.135
we're the wow people.
00:20:16.169 --> 00:20:17.069
But we need to help people.
00:20:18.030 --> 00:20:18.330
Yes.
00:20:18.550 --> 00:20:19.211
So I've been called a
00:20:19.251 --> 00:20:20.353
visionary without a plan.
00:20:20.492 --> 00:20:22.035
And I will own that.
00:20:22.915 --> 00:20:23.215
Own it.
00:20:24.037 --> 00:20:24.777
I will own that.
00:20:25.810 --> 00:20:31.394
But it's a great vision.
00:20:31.413 --> 00:20:31.993
So if you're the person who
00:20:32.034 --> 00:20:32.855
can make the plan, like, you know,
00:20:32.875 --> 00:20:33.194
I'm open to that.
00:20:33.214 --> 00:20:33.394
Please.
00:20:33.414 --> 00:20:34.375
This is if you want to go fast, go alone.
00:20:34.394 --> 00:20:35.496
If you want to go far, go together.
00:20:35.756 --> 00:20:36.215
Is that right?
00:20:36.256 --> 00:20:36.435
Yeah.
00:20:36.455 --> 00:20:37.817
Fast, alone, far together.
00:20:38.457 --> 00:20:39.458
Parting shots for today.
00:20:39.478 --> 00:20:41.078
This is a truncated episode
00:20:41.118 --> 00:20:42.159
live stream because I have
00:20:42.179 --> 00:20:42.920
a meeting to go to.
00:20:43.579 --> 00:20:44.359
It should be my lunch,
00:20:44.380 --> 00:20:45.040
but I'm doing a meeting.
00:20:45.141 --> 00:20:46.701
But what would you leave with everybody?
00:20:46.761 --> 00:20:47.382
Parting shot today.
00:20:49.386 --> 00:20:50.428
I think my parting shot is
00:20:50.448 --> 00:20:52.348
just accept who you are and
00:20:52.588 --> 00:20:53.849
go forward into where your
00:20:53.890 --> 00:20:55.310
strengths are instead of
00:20:55.351 --> 00:20:56.451
trying to force yourself to
00:20:56.490 --> 00:20:57.392
be good at something that
00:20:57.412 --> 00:20:58.291
you're not and something
00:20:58.311 --> 00:20:59.532
that doesn't serve you or
00:20:59.633 --> 00:21:00.453
others and something that
00:21:00.473 --> 00:21:01.753
you don't enjoy and partner
00:21:01.773 --> 00:21:02.515
with the right people.
00:21:02.875 --> 00:21:03.955
I love hanging out with you
00:21:03.976 --> 00:21:05.296
because we are fun and we
00:21:05.316 --> 00:21:06.257
do fun things together.
00:21:06.376 --> 00:21:08.077
We're not going to write a book together.
00:21:08.417 --> 00:21:10.318
We're not going to run a company together.
00:21:10.638 --> 00:21:11.460
We shouldn't.
00:21:11.539 --> 00:21:11.880
No.
00:21:12.460 --> 00:21:12.760
We shouldn't.
00:21:13.520 --> 00:21:16.103
I would say the...
00:21:17.261 --> 00:21:18.481
Success you're seeking is
00:21:18.521 --> 00:21:19.722
hiding in the work you're not doing.
00:21:20.423 --> 00:21:22.423
And sometimes, a lot of times,
00:21:22.463 --> 00:21:26.444
and I'm speaking from myself, it's me.
00:21:26.684 --> 00:21:27.665
Hi, I'm the problem.
00:21:28.226 --> 00:21:28.566
It's me.
00:21:28.846 --> 00:21:29.566
Sometimes you are the
00:21:29.586 --> 00:21:30.727
limiting factor in that.
00:21:31.287 --> 00:21:33.326
So get out of your own way.
00:21:33.688 --> 00:21:34.347
And sometimes it's
00:21:34.407 --> 00:21:35.468
understanding what you're great at,
00:21:35.728 --> 00:21:36.628
what you're not so great at,
00:21:37.088 --> 00:21:37.828
and then hiring or
00:21:37.868 --> 00:21:38.689
partnering for the things
00:21:38.709 --> 00:21:39.229
you're not great at.
00:21:39.589 --> 00:21:40.890
Or in this case of Working Genius,
00:21:41.190 --> 00:21:43.990
the things that you might, you can do,
00:21:44.111 --> 00:21:45.392
I can do a tenacity task.
00:21:45.471 --> 00:21:46.372
I've run the Ironman.
00:21:48.167 --> 00:21:50.150
Same.
00:21:50.250 --> 00:21:50.830
I can do it,
00:21:51.371 --> 00:21:53.854
but some tenacity tasks suck
00:21:53.894 --> 00:21:54.634
the life out of me.
00:21:54.714 --> 00:21:55.796
I'm just not going to finish them.
00:21:55.816 --> 00:21:57.278
Yeah.
00:21:57.337 --> 00:21:57.798
So, all right.
00:21:57.817 --> 00:21:59.039
That's my parting shot for today.
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:00.161
We'll be back next week with
00:22:00.221 --> 00:22:02.042
longer to dive in with Rebecca Griffith,
00:22:02.063 --> 00:22:02.663
the EDDPT.
00:00:04.062 --> 00:00:05.621
Rebecca Griffith is back on the show.
00:00:05.682 --> 00:00:06.123
Rebecca.
00:00:06.142 --> 00:00:08.003
Good morning.
00:00:08.022 --> 00:00:09.003
Always good to see you with
00:00:09.042 --> 00:00:12.944
your ring light now properly attached.
00:00:12.964 --> 00:00:13.384
You look great.
00:00:15.025 --> 00:00:15.724
We like books.
00:00:16.364 --> 00:00:16.964
For a while there,
00:00:17.045 --> 00:00:18.006
I wasn't reading as much.
00:00:18.085 --> 00:00:19.326
I think it's because I
00:00:19.365 --> 00:00:20.565
wasn't traveling as much.
00:00:21.227 --> 00:00:22.327
And then since the last time
00:00:22.347 --> 00:00:23.126
you were on the show,
00:00:23.187 --> 00:00:24.486
which was just like a week or two ago,
00:00:25.187 --> 00:00:26.568
I wound up diving into like
00:00:26.748 --> 00:00:27.707
three different books.
00:00:28.007 --> 00:00:29.129
It's Feast Your Famine with me.
00:00:29.408 --> 00:00:30.048
What do you want me to do?
00:00:31.117 --> 00:00:33.499
I only finished my romance novel.
00:00:33.658 --> 00:00:34.100
I'm not going to lie.
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:34.579
That's all that I have.
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:35.820
I'll get to the romance novels.
00:00:35.941 --> 00:00:36.960
I have not yet gotten to the
00:00:36.981 --> 00:00:37.661
romance novels.
00:00:38.421 --> 00:00:39.463
But do you want to talk about your,
00:00:39.603 --> 00:00:40.182
we're just going to talk
00:00:40.203 --> 00:00:40.783
about book and what we
00:00:40.802 --> 00:00:41.584
learned from it so far.
00:00:41.743 --> 00:00:42.723
Mine is a little mind
00:00:42.783 --> 00:00:44.604
blowing for me personally.
00:00:44.625 --> 00:00:46.085
Tell me.
00:00:46.146 --> 00:00:47.127
I want to let you go first though.
00:00:47.146 --> 00:00:47.307
Well, no,
00:00:47.447 --> 00:00:49.247
you got to go first because I
00:00:49.268 --> 00:00:49.768
thought we were talking
00:00:49.807 --> 00:00:51.929
about our StrengthsFinder.
00:00:52.070 --> 00:00:52.909
Oh, we can do that.
00:00:52.950 --> 00:00:53.670
This is related.
00:00:53.689 --> 00:00:55.091
Okay, I'm ready.
00:00:55.170 --> 00:00:55.430
Okay.
00:00:55.551 --> 00:00:57.552
So I am in the middle of listening to
00:00:58.734 --> 00:00:59.375
which is a little different
00:00:59.395 --> 00:00:59.936
for me as well.
00:00:59.956 --> 00:01:00.655
I'm usually a reader,
00:01:00.816 --> 00:01:02.296
but I'm listening to the
00:01:02.398 --> 00:01:04.039
six types of working genius.
00:01:04.118 --> 00:01:05.359
Are you familiar with this book?
00:01:05.620 --> 00:01:07.641
No, but apparently I need to be.
00:01:07.781 --> 00:01:09.042
It's wild.
00:01:09.281 --> 00:01:09.862
Now, of course,
00:01:09.882 --> 00:01:10.683
like all these books
00:01:10.742 --> 00:01:13.344
promise to be mind changing.
00:01:13.385 --> 00:01:14.206
It's going to change your mind.
00:01:14.766 --> 00:01:15.966
This one is, I think,
00:01:16.007 --> 00:01:17.968
great in its application and simplicity.
00:01:18.128 --> 00:01:19.489
So essentially what this guy
00:01:19.509 --> 00:01:20.629
figured out was he was
00:01:20.650 --> 00:01:21.811
working for an ad agency
00:01:22.510 --> 00:01:23.951
and he would do stuff that
00:01:24.012 --> 00:01:25.293
you did at an ad agency,
00:01:25.332 --> 00:01:26.194
like creative stuff.
00:01:27.509 --> 00:01:29.429
And he would thrive and he
00:01:29.448 --> 00:01:30.209
was doing great and
00:01:30.230 --> 00:01:30.989
everything was blowing up
00:01:31.010 --> 00:01:32.109
and he found purpose and he
00:01:32.129 --> 00:01:33.129
would go home and be happy.
00:01:34.170 --> 00:01:35.329
And then he got promoted, did so well,
00:01:35.349 --> 00:01:35.891
he got promoted.
00:01:37.031 --> 00:01:38.710
And that's what happens at work.
00:01:38.730 --> 00:01:39.290
You get promoted.
00:01:39.331 --> 00:01:40.870
Yeah.
00:01:41.210 --> 00:01:42.412
And your job changes because
00:01:42.451 --> 00:01:43.471
now your job is a boss.
00:01:43.552 --> 00:01:45.311
Now your job is other people
00:01:45.512 --> 00:01:46.531
not doing the thing.
00:01:48.112 --> 00:01:48.912
And he was miserable.
00:01:49.492 --> 00:01:50.692
And of course, why would you be miserable?
00:01:50.772 --> 00:01:51.992
You got promoted, you got more money,
00:01:53.293 --> 00:01:54.474
but that's not what he was good at.
00:01:56.250 --> 00:01:57.170
So he keeps going.
00:01:57.189 --> 00:01:59.730
He keeps seesawing these things because,
00:01:59.751 --> 00:02:00.010
of course,
00:02:00.031 --> 00:02:01.572
it wasn't that obvious when he did it.
00:02:01.912 --> 00:02:03.531
Now my light is out.
00:02:03.611 --> 00:02:04.912
It wasn't that obvious what
00:02:04.932 --> 00:02:08.513
was going wrong in the moment.
00:02:08.552 --> 00:02:09.332
So he winds up,
00:02:09.372 --> 00:02:10.294
his wife is having this
00:02:10.373 --> 00:02:11.454
very clear and candid
00:02:11.493 --> 00:02:12.413
conversation with him.
00:02:13.074 --> 00:02:13.715
And she says,
00:02:15.435 --> 00:02:16.335
you know what you're going to have to do,
00:02:16.395 --> 00:02:16.594
right?
00:02:16.754 --> 00:02:17.375
And he's like, what?
00:02:17.495 --> 00:02:17.915
And she's like,
00:02:17.936 --> 00:02:18.475
you're going to have to
00:02:18.536 --> 00:02:19.475
open on your own agency
00:02:19.795 --> 00:02:20.455
because you're going to
00:02:20.475 --> 00:02:21.395
need to be the boss of everything.
00:02:21.436 --> 00:02:22.377
So then you get to do whatever.
00:02:22.676 --> 00:02:23.396
And that worked.
00:02:24.689 --> 00:02:27.330
for a while until his staff
00:02:27.371 --> 00:02:30.271
was almost like, this guy is an a-hole.
00:02:31.013 --> 00:02:31.853
We don't like him.
00:02:31.953 --> 00:02:32.733
What's going on?
00:02:32.932 --> 00:02:34.954
They literally impromptu
00:02:35.314 --> 00:02:36.694
were in a meeting room in
00:02:36.735 --> 00:02:38.156
front of a whiteboard and
00:02:38.175 --> 00:02:39.836
they came up with the six
00:02:39.895 --> 00:02:40.937
types of working genius.
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:42.721
So here's what they are.
00:02:42.961 --> 00:02:44.342
They're just, so now keep in mind,
00:02:44.502 --> 00:02:45.903
this isn't like StrengthsFinders.
00:02:45.943 --> 00:02:46.944
We'll get to StrengthsFinders.
00:02:47.366 --> 00:02:48.227
Yeah.
00:02:48.266 --> 00:02:50.549
StrengthsFinders was like, there's like,
00:02:50.688 --> 00:02:52.811
there's like, there's like, there's like,
00:02:52.830 --> 00:02:55.554
there's like, there's like, there's like,
00:02:56.055 --> 00:02:56.495
there's like,
00:03:00.399 --> 00:03:01.558
And then I paid for the one
00:03:01.579 --> 00:03:02.680
where it gave me my top five.
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:03.919
And I'll bring mine up and
00:03:03.939 --> 00:03:04.520
you'll share yours.
00:03:05.060 --> 00:03:06.979
This says there are six
00:03:07.020 --> 00:03:08.260
types of working genius.
00:03:08.961 --> 00:03:11.721
We all can do all of the
00:03:11.760 --> 00:03:14.981
tasks except like a stoplight.
00:03:15.502 --> 00:03:16.921
Two are always green.
00:03:17.302 --> 00:03:18.223
They give us energy.
00:03:19.242 --> 00:03:21.843
Two are like yellow competencies.
00:03:22.524 --> 00:03:23.364
We can do them.
00:03:23.704 --> 00:03:24.883
They're neither here nor there.
00:03:25.704 --> 00:03:26.383
They don't light me up,
00:03:26.403 --> 00:03:27.245
but they don't drain me.
00:03:27.264 --> 00:03:28.564
And then there's two that drain us.
00:03:29.793 --> 00:03:31.473
So this guy realized when he
00:03:31.493 --> 00:03:33.294
was like a regular creative
00:03:33.314 --> 00:03:34.355
guy at an ad agency,
00:03:34.675 --> 00:03:36.157
he was doing greens all day.
00:03:36.217 --> 00:03:37.197
And he was bang, bang, bang.
00:03:37.236 --> 00:03:37.737
Everything's great.
00:03:37.798 --> 00:03:38.418
I'm good at it.
00:03:38.937 --> 00:03:40.019
This goes back to Ica guy.
00:03:40.239 --> 00:03:40.718
I'm good at it.
00:03:40.739 --> 00:03:41.319
The world needs it.
00:03:41.340 --> 00:03:44.401
I can get paid doing it.
00:03:44.701 --> 00:03:45.122
And I love it.
00:03:45.962 --> 00:03:46.062
Yeah.
00:03:46.082 --> 00:03:46.742
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang.
00:03:46.763 --> 00:03:47.924
So greens are like Ica guys.
00:03:47.943 --> 00:03:48.924
Okay.
00:03:48.943 --> 00:03:49.705
Every once in a while, dude,
00:03:49.745 --> 00:03:51.306
like some jobs require like
00:03:51.485 --> 00:03:53.086
you to do some yellow stuff.
00:03:53.167 --> 00:03:53.247
Yeah.
00:03:53.645 --> 00:03:55.926
But the idea was he wasn't a
00:03:55.986 --> 00:03:58.088
bad person or worker.
00:03:58.348 --> 00:04:00.349
He was doing the wrong work for him.
00:04:01.531 --> 00:04:01.770
Right.
00:04:02.510 --> 00:04:04.412
So that made him kind of an a-hole.
00:04:05.073 --> 00:04:05.673
So they were like, well,
00:04:05.693 --> 00:04:07.274
then we need to take your red,
00:04:07.413 --> 00:04:09.134
your frustration.
00:04:09.155 --> 00:04:11.776
So they're called geniuses, competencies,
00:04:12.317 --> 00:04:13.918
and frustrations, like a stoplight.
00:04:13.937 --> 00:04:15.378
Greens are good, yellows,
00:04:15.938 --> 00:04:17.540
and then reds are soul-sucking.
00:04:18.641 --> 00:04:19.982
The funny part is...
00:04:21.091 --> 00:04:22.733
what I would consider soul-sucking,
00:04:23.132 --> 00:04:25.052
a friend might be like, I love that,
00:04:25.413 --> 00:04:25.632
right?
00:04:25.653 --> 00:04:26.574
Because if you're like Jimmy,
00:04:26.694 --> 00:04:27.913
organize a spreadsheet every day,
00:04:27.973 --> 00:04:28.954
I'd be like, nope,
00:04:29.235 --> 00:04:32.016
rather rub salt in my eyeballs.
00:04:32.036 --> 00:04:32.755
Like couldn't do it.
00:04:32.915 --> 00:04:34.235
But some people love that.
00:04:34.576 --> 00:04:36.216
So the task is neither good nor bad.
00:04:36.557 --> 00:04:38.398
It is either a fit or a not fit for you.
00:04:38.697 --> 00:04:39.538
So you read the book or
00:04:39.577 --> 00:04:40.358
listen to the book and then
00:04:40.377 --> 00:04:41.098
you take this test,
00:04:41.117 --> 00:04:42.119
which I haven't taken yet,
00:04:43.038 --> 00:04:44.680
but I used AI and I'm sort
00:04:44.699 --> 00:04:45.639
of taking the test anyway
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:47.319
and found out that I've
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:48.581
kind of got my order
00:04:49.764 --> 00:04:50.144
Locked in.
00:04:50.223 --> 00:04:51.225
So what I want to do for you,
00:04:51.264 --> 00:04:52.206
cause you know me well enough,
00:04:52.305 --> 00:04:53.206
I'm going to give you all
00:04:53.245 --> 00:04:54.387
six of these things and a
00:04:54.406 --> 00:04:55.307
little description.
00:04:55.747 --> 00:04:58.009
And then I want you to tell
00:04:58.029 --> 00:04:59.750
me which ones you think I am.
00:05:00.872 --> 00:05:01.851
My order is all right.
00:05:02.372 --> 00:05:03.293
But are you going to do that
00:05:03.312 --> 00:05:04.533
for me so that I know?
00:05:04.593 --> 00:05:04.973
Yes.
00:05:05.173 --> 00:05:05.495
Yes.
00:05:06.115 --> 00:05:07.975
Um, um,
00:05:09.838 --> 00:05:11.238
what do you think about the book so far?
00:05:11.298 --> 00:05:12.720
And this idea, like what, like, cause you,
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:13.600
you were doing eyebrow
00:05:13.660 --> 00:05:14.701
raises and stuff like that.
00:05:14.906 --> 00:05:15.225
Well,
00:05:15.245 --> 00:05:16.807
so it's funny because I was thinking
00:05:16.827 --> 00:05:18.009
about a conversation that I
00:05:18.048 --> 00:05:19.990
had with my boss before I
00:05:20.091 --> 00:05:21.992
started my business.
00:05:22.612 --> 00:05:24.915
And it was like that guy, like, you know,
00:05:24.935 --> 00:05:25.817
where he was like,
00:05:25.916 --> 00:05:26.937
it's either time to like
00:05:27.077 --> 00:05:28.119
move on or do something
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:29.540
else or like get promoted.
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.701
And and then the promotion
00:05:31.762 --> 00:05:33.043
options for me didn't feel
00:05:33.084 --> 00:05:36.107
like it would be a good fit.
00:05:38.129 --> 00:05:39.250
And so I actually want to
00:05:39.269 --> 00:05:40.250
share that conversation
00:05:40.269 --> 00:05:41.271
that I had with him because
00:05:41.310 --> 00:05:42.512
it was really helpful.
00:05:43.331 --> 00:05:45.394
And he basically said, like I said,
00:05:45.413 --> 00:05:46.093
I've been waiting for the
00:05:46.113 --> 00:05:47.274
clinical ladder to change.
00:05:47.375 --> 00:05:49.016
I just feel like it's changed,
00:05:49.055 --> 00:05:50.357
but nothing's changed for me.
00:05:50.416 --> 00:05:51.737
Like there's nowhere else for me to go.
00:05:51.757 --> 00:05:52.218
For me, exactly.
00:05:52.237 --> 00:05:56.660
I'm still here on the clinical ladder.
00:05:56.860 --> 00:05:58.240
There's nothing else up here.
00:05:59.822 --> 00:06:00.543
And he kind of said, well,
00:06:00.562 --> 00:06:01.343
you've been pushing your
00:06:01.382 --> 00:06:02.423
face against the top of the
00:06:02.463 --> 00:06:03.485
clinical ladder for years.
00:06:04.507 --> 00:06:05.608
a real long time.
00:06:05.788 --> 00:06:08.689
So your choices are to like, he's like,
00:06:08.750 --> 00:06:11.591
every clinical ladder has a ceiling,
00:06:11.870 --> 00:06:13.531
like just the way that works.
00:06:13.651 --> 00:06:14.612
And there are leadership
00:06:14.653 --> 00:06:16.612
positions and there are, you know,
00:06:16.774 --> 00:06:18.553
other like research positions,
00:06:18.593 --> 00:06:19.995
like there are these options,
00:06:20.634 --> 00:06:22.115
or you can go out into the
00:06:22.136 --> 00:06:23.516
world and do what you're
00:06:23.557 --> 00:06:26.077
doing here on a bigger scale.
00:06:27.257 --> 00:06:28.699
And so that was really the
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:30.560
impetus for me to go from
00:06:31.540 --> 00:06:32.961
can I make a PT in the
00:06:33.002 --> 00:06:35.904
emergency department here outstanding to,
00:06:35.964 --> 00:06:36.906
can I put a physical
00:06:36.946 --> 00:06:38.067
therapist in every
00:06:38.107 --> 00:06:39.228
emergency department in the
00:06:39.247 --> 00:06:39.928
United States?
00:06:40.730 --> 00:06:42.432
And so do I work clinically
00:06:42.471 --> 00:06:43.632
as much as I did before?
00:06:43.733 --> 00:06:46.016
No, I am now a per diem therapist.
00:06:46.596 --> 00:06:48.879
But that allows me to not
00:06:48.939 --> 00:06:49.980
lose those pieces that I
00:06:50.060 --> 00:06:51.262
loved about what I was doing,
00:06:51.702 --> 00:06:54.127
but not be constrained by
00:06:54.166 --> 00:06:56.029
the top of a ladder and not
00:06:56.149 --> 00:06:58.052
be pushed into the next step,
00:06:58.072 --> 00:07:00.154
which is maybe people management.
00:07:00.896 --> 00:07:02.538
And I don't know that that's my strength.
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:03.598
Correct.
00:07:03.658 --> 00:07:04.459
It's a different job.
00:07:04.899 --> 00:07:07.762
So the best nurse in an
00:07:07.862 --> 00:07:10.024
emergency room doesn't mean
00:07:10.064 --> 00:07:12.026
she's going to be the next charge nurse,
00:07:12.047 --> 00:07:12.146
right?
00:07:12.166 --> 00:07:13.146
That's the person in charge of the nurse.
00:07:13.767 --> 00:07:14.569
It does not mean that.
00:07:14.869 --> 00:07:15.369
It doesn't.
00:07:15.910 --> 00:07:16.990
So just the best clinician
00:07:17.011 --> 00:07:17.690
or the one who's been there
00:07:17.711 --> 00:07:18.952
the longest doesn't mean
00:07:18.973 --> 00:07:19.432
they're going to be the
00:07:19.833 --> 00:07:21.415
greatest clinic director.
00:07:21.855 --> 00:07:22.536
No.
00:07:22.596 --> 00:07:23.216
Reverse.
00:07:23.456 --> 00:07:25.317
I see academies, associations,
00:07:25.377 --> 00:07:25.899
businesses...
00:07:26.798 --> 00:07:27.399
You know who they put in
00:07:27.420 --> 00:07:28.622
charge of communications
00:07:28.641 --> 00:07:29.283
and social media?
00:07:29.583 --> 00:07:30.603
The youngest person because
00:07:30.644 --> 00:07:32.507
they understand the TikToks.
00:07:32.826 --> 00:07:34.949
And I'm like, you're doing it wrong.
00:07:35.269 --> 00:07:36.230
You need someone who knows
00:07:36.271 --> 00:07:37.353
how to do it and likes
00:07:37.392 --> 00:07:38.795
doing it because the likes
00:07:38.834 --> 00:07:39.696
doing it part is going to
00:07:39.716 --> 00:07:41.617
make them persevere to learn it better.
00:07:41.637 --> 00:07:42.079
Yeah.
00:07:42.485 --> 00:07:43.187
right and I was having a
00:07:43.247 --> 00:07:43.987
conversation with an
00:07:44.067 --> 00:07:44.947
occupational therapist the
00:07:44.968 --> 00:07:45.927
other day she went to the
00:07:45.947 --> 00:07:49.050
big uh aota conference and
00:07:49.389 --> 00:07:50.271
she said she was really
00:07:50.310 --> 00:07:51.350
excited about the new
00:07:51.391 --> 00:07:53.293
president of aota and I'm
00:07:53.333 --> 00:07:55.954
really hopeful and we got
00:07:55.973 --> 00:07:56.995
into this conversation
00:07:57.035 --> 00:07:58.456
about whether the the
00:07:58.495 --> 00:07:59.456
president of your
00:07:59.475 --> 00:08:00.557
professional association
00:08:00.576 --> 00:08:02.778
should be a clinician and
00:08:02.838 --> 00:08:04.238
clinicians always feel like
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:05.319
the person leading them
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:06.461
should be a clinician
00:08:06.521 --> 00:08:08.041
because they want somebody
00:08:08.062 --> 00:08:10.043
to understand what clinicians go through
00:08:10.992 --> 00:08:11.512
But to me,
00:08:11.572 --> 00:08:13.033
the skill set for leading a
00:08:13.113 --> 00:08:14.713
massive organization and
00:08:14.733 --> 00:08:15.834
the skill set for being a
00:08:15.874 --> 00:08:17.675
clinician are completely different.
00:08:17.735 --> 00:08:19.454
Are they both outstanding skill sets?
00:08:19.875 --> 00:08:20.235
Yes.
00:08:20.836 --> 00:08:22.576
And there might be some crossover.
00:08:23.415 --> 00:08:24.096
For sure.
00:08:24.297 --> 00:08:24.976
Do you want some?
00:08:27.918 --> 00:08:29.937
I want the best match, right?
00:08:30.038 --> 00:08:32.078
I want somebody who understands what I do.
00:08:33.078 --> 00:08:33.918
But I need somebody who
00:08:33.958 --> 00:08:36.659
knows how to run a massive organization.
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:38.740
And I see people complaining
00:08:38.801 --> 00:08:39.740
about how much...
00:08:40.870 --> 00:08:42.211
People get paid in different
00:08:42.272 --> 00:08:43.432
roles and different things.
00:08:43.472 --> 00:08:45.774
And why does this person get
00:08:45.854 --> 00:08:46.875
paid this much?
00:08:46.894 --> 00:08:48.735
And I'm the one seeing the patients.
00:08:48.755 --> 00:08:49.296
And I'm like, well,
00:08:49.336 --> 00:08:52.238
because the pricing for
00:08:52.278 --> 00:08:53.938
this skill set is different
00:08:53.979 --> 00:08:55.539
than the pricing for this skill set.
00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:58.761
I'm not saying one is better or not.
00:08:59.280 --> 00:08:59.541
All right,
00:08:59.581 --> 00:09:00.581
so since I got a little bit of a
00:09:00.640 --> 00:09:01.221
time crunch.
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:02.522
Yeah, sorry.
00:09:02.721 --> 00:09:03.981
I'm going to give you the
00:09:04.042 --> 00:09:05.461
definition of each of the
00:09:05.522 --> 00:09:06.783
six types of working genius.
00:09:06.883 --> 00:09:08.503
And then, so if you want to take notes,
00:09:08.523 --> 00:09:09.143
because there's six,
00:09:09.283 --> 00:09:10.322
I sort of get lost when we start.
00:09:10.383 --> 00:09:12.583
All right, so they are called,
00:09:12.624 --> 00:09:13.543
I'll just give you the names first,
00:09:13.563 --> 00:09:14.384
then I'll give you the definition.
00:09:14.423 --> 00:09:18.644
They are called wonder, discernment,
00:09:19.985 --> 00:09:22.485
galvanizing, enablement,
00:09:23.379 --> 00:09:26.561
tenacity and invention so
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:27.402
now I'll go through them in
00:09:27.522 --> 00:09:28.282
that order and I'll give
00:09:28.302 --> 00:09:29.283
you a little now now you
00:09:29.302 --> 00:09:30.163
can sit there and you can
00:09:30.203 --> 00:09:31.323
check off or be like do a
00:09:31.423 --> 00:09:32.825
yes no or maybe because
00:09:33.024 --> 00:09:33.765
you're not gonna have to do
00:09:33.785 --> 00:09:34.907
like which one are my bests
00:09:35.346 --> 00:09:36.227
you're doing green yellow
00:09:36.288 --> 00:09:39.549
red genius uh let's see
00:09:39.690 --> 00:09:40.711
wonder discernment
00:09:41.610 --> 00:09:43.192
galvanizing enablement
00:09:43.511 --> 00:09:44.832
tenacity and invention
00:09:44.852 --> 00:09:47.075
invention invention
00:09:48.345 --> 00:09:48.865
So now I'll give you the
00:09:48.904 --> 00:09:49.806
definition of the
00:09:49.826 --> 00:09:51.006
description and you can
00:09:51.126 --> 00:09:54.129
guess which are two Jimmy's two geniuses,
00:09:54.528 --> 00:09:56.490
competencies, frustrations, green,
00:09:56.509 --> 00:09:56.811
yellow.
00:09:57.270 --> 00:09:59.331
So wonder sensing this
00:09:59.371 --> 00:10:00.673
person senses potential or
00:10:00.712 --> 00:10:02.394
possibility asking big
00:10:02.433 --> 00:10:06.057
questions about what could be better.
00:10:06.417 --> 00:10:08.018
Discernment using intuition
00:10:08.077 --> 00:10:10.519
and instincts to evaluate
00:10:10.599 --> 00:10:11.759
ideas and solutions.
00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:12.760
Good judgment.
00:10:14.446 --> 00:10:16.988
Galvanizing, rallying, inspiring,
00:10:17.087 --> 00:10:18.149
and pushing people into
00:10:18.249 --> 00:10:21.292
action around a project or an idea.
00:10:21.633 --> 00:10:22.192
Enablement,
00:10:22.614 --> 00:10:24.735
providing support and help to
00:10:24.956 --> 00:10:26.197
others' ideas and efforts.
00:10:26.758 --> 00:10:28.038
This person is ready to assist.
00:10:29.419 --> 00:10:30.000
Tenacity,
00:10:30.421 --> 00:10:32.102
driving work across the finish line,
00:10:32.363 --> 00:10:35.245
committed to completing tasks and goals.
00:10:36.149 --> 00:10:39.049
and invention creating original ideas,
00:10:39.270 --> 00:10:39.831
solutions,
00:10:39.931 --> 00:10:42.871
or plans from scratch loves brainstorming,
00:10:43.393 --> 00:10:46.594
which are Jimmy's geniuses, competencies,
00:10:47.193 --> 00:10:47.815
frustrations.
00:10:48.054 --> 00:10:48.715
What are your guesses?
00:10:48.735 --> 00:10:50.076
Okay.
00:10:50.375 --> 00:10:51.856
I think your geniuses are
00:10:51.937 --> 00:10:52.917
invention and wonder.
00:10:52.937 --> 00:10:55.298
Okay.
00:10:55.378 --> 00:10:59.580
And I would say your yellows
00:10:59.900 --> 00:11:01.881
are discernment and enablement.
00:11:01.902 --> 00:11:02.601
Okay.
00:11:04.015 --> 00:11:05.177
And your red ones are
00:11:05.236 --> 00:11:06.957
tenacity and galvanizing.
00:11:08.057 --> 00:11:09.298
I have originally have
00:11:09.339 --> 00:11:10.458
galvanizing in yellow.
00:11:11.019 --> 00:11:11.299
Good.
00:11:11.379 --> 00:11:12.059
That's what I have.
00:11:12.100 --> 00:11:12.659
So you would change.
00:11:12.701 --> 00:11:13.740
So why did you switch that?
00:11:13.801 --> 00:11:14.942
Why did you put galvanizing
00:11:15.062 --> 00:11:16.842
in red in frustrations for me?
00:11:17.143 --> 00:11:18.423
I'm curious.
00:11:18.462 --> 00:11:20.865
Well, because I feel like wonder for sure.
00:11:20.904 --> 00:11:22.284
I feel like it's a green one for you.
00:11:22.325 --> 00:11:23.086
So here's what I had.
00:11:23.125 --> 00:11:23.566
I'll just do it.
00:11:23.605 --> 00:11:25.047
So yeah, I have invention and wonder.
00:11:25.672 --> 00:11:27.374
well see those two right so
00:11:27.734 --> 00:11:29.115
invention originally I was
00:11:29.174 --> 00:11:30.035
not going to have in your
00:11:30.056 --> 00:11:30.636
greens oh okay to me that
00:11:30.677 --> 00:11:34.320
was the definition I was
00:11:34.340 --> 00:11:35.741
like oh that's definitely
00:11:35.782 --> 00:11:36.883
jimmy so when I heard the
00:11:36.903 --> 00:11:37.803
words I was like that's not
00:11:37.823 --> 00:11:38.583
jimmy but then when you
00:11:38.604 --> 00:11:39.565
said the definition I was
00:11:39.605 --> 00:11:42.067
like definitely and then
00:11:43.191 --> 00:11:44.231
I originally thought
00:11:44.292 --> 00:11:45.471
discernment would be one of
00:11:45.491 --> 00:11:46.153
your top ones.
00:11:46.192 --> 00:11:47.673
So I guess maybe if I have
00:11:47.692 --> 00:11:49.714
to pick like my final
00:11:49.815 --> 00:11:51.575
answer is that tenacity and
00:11:51.634 --> 00:11:53.416
discernment are your reds
00:11:54.057 --> 00:11:54.917
and galvanizing and
00:11:54.956 --> 00:11:56.298
enablement for your yellows.
00:11:56.437 --> 00:11:58.058
So I had Will, do you know Will Humphries?
00:11:59.846 --> 00:12:02.168
Will's a PT at Arizona, similar to me.
00:12:02.227 --> 00:12:03.488
And he brought this concept
00:12:03.528 --> 00:12:04.769
to me or he's like a third
00:12:04.808 --> 00:12:05.649
person to bring this up.
00:12:05.928 --> 00:12:07.129
And he's like, Jimmy, you're just like me.
00:12:07.190 --> 00:12:09.049
You're an invention galvanizer.
00:12:09.331 --> 00:12:10.691
And then as I started taking the test,
00:12:10.730 --> 00:12:12.511
I'm like, I can do galvanizing.
00:12:13.152 --> 00:12:13.432
Yes.
00:12:13.572 --> 00:12:13.912
But I want,
00:12:14.052 --> 00:12:15.393
I want to be next to the galvanizer.
00:12:16.013 --> 00:12:17.433
like I'm the robin to the
00:12:17.874 --> 00:12:18.953
bat to the galvanizer's
00:12:18.994 --> 00:12:20.715
batman yeah I could do it
00:12:21.014 --> 00:12:22.475
in a pinch but it's not my
00:12:22.495 --> 00:12:22.995
it's not the thing I want
00:12:23.015 --> 00:12:23.956
to be doing the most amount
00:12:23.975 --> 00:12:25.017
of time no because it takes
00:12:25.037 --> 00:12:26.236
a lot of energy I'd rather
00:12:26.256 --> 00:12:27.437
just run into the burning
00:12:27.477 --> 00:12:28.918
building and be like I'm
00:12:28.957 --> 00:12:30.278
going instead of hey
00:12:30.318 --> 00:12:31.139
everybody let's run into
00:12:31.158 --> 00:12:32.480
the burning building I'm
00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:33.460
like an invention is your
00:12:33.500 --> 00:12:34.760
number one that's like your
00:12:34.780 --> 00:12:36.341
faith and then wonder for
00:12:36.380 --> 00:12:37.961
sure right so now I'm gonna
00:12:38.001 --> 00:12:40.842
guess for you okay I'm
00:12:40.883 --> 00:12:42.724
doing this live okay so let
00:12:42.744 --> 00:12:43.563
me look at these again so
00:12:43.583 --> 00:12:45.004
I'm gonna do that
00:12:46.602 --> 00:12:47.743
I know you had to do it live too,
00:12:47.802 --> 00:12:48.623
but I'm not good.
00:12:49.043 --> 00:12:50.224
I'm not good at discernment.
00:12:50.443 --> 00:12:51.923
So I think you,
00:12:51.943 --> 00:12:53.303
I think you are good at discernment.
00:12:53.344 --> 00:12:55.684
So I would put discernment at the top.
00:12:57.264 --> 00:13:01.806
I would put wonder also at the top.
00:13:01.966 --> 00:13:03.346
So do discernment and wonder
00:13:03.365 --> 00:13:04.346
for you in your greens.
00:13:06.145 --> 00:13:08.706
I would do galvanizing and
00:13:08.746 --> 00:13:10.407
tenacity in your reds
00:13:11.086 --> 00:13:13.668
frustrations leaving in wait,
00:13:13.707 --> 00:13:15.567
galvanizing and man,
00:13:17.576 --> 00:13:19.120
I think you're a yellow invention.
00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:20.442
I think your invention would
00:13:20.462 --> 00:13:21.645
be a competency.
00:13:22.567 --> 00:13:24.932
And now I've got galvanizing enablement.
00:13:25.293 --> 00:13:26.375
Tenacity is on your bottom.
00:13:26.434 --> 00:13:26.996
You're like me.
00:13:27.236 --> 00:13:27.577
I think.
00:13:27.938 --> 00:13:28.298
Yeah.
00:13:28.820 --> 00:13:28.921
Yeah.
00:13:29.754 --> 00:13:30.634
And I think you would be a
00:13:30.674 --> 00:13:31.975
galvanizer in your yellow.
00:13:31.995 --> 00:13:32.655
You do it,
00:13:32.716 --> 00:13:33.735
but it wouldn't be your primary
00:13:33.755 --> 00:13:34.956
because that's a lot of energy,
00:13:35.015 --> 00:13:36.176
which means enablement
00:13:36.535 --> 00:13:37.397
would be on the bottom.
00:13:37.956 --> 00:13:38.277
Am I close?
00:13:38.297 --> 00:13:38.797
What is discernment again?
00:13:38.817 --> 00:13:41.297
Read that one again.
00:13:41.336 --> 00:13:42.677
Discernment is like,
00:13:42.697 --> 00:13:43.618
do you ever just someone
00:13:43.697 --> 00:13:45.317
who has like really good taste,
00:13:45.457 --> 00:13:46.399
you pitch them an idea.
00:13:46.479 --> 00:13:47.938
And even if they're not in
00:13:47.979 --> 00:13:49.698
your area of expertise, they're like,
00:13:50.019 --> 00:13:51.399
hang on, why would that work?
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:52.960
And you're like, well, and they're like,
00:13:55.184 --> 00:13:55.865
I don't think it's there.
00:13:56.005 --> 00:13:56.546
They're not going to tell
00:13:56.566 --> 00:13:57.225
you how to fix it.
00:13:57.426 --> 00:13:57.986
That's different,
00:13:58.246 --> 00:13:58.767
but they're going to be
00:13:58.787 --> 00:13:59.868
able to assess like,
00:13:59.908 --> 00:14:00.548
these are the people who
00:14:00.587 --> 00:14:02.309
can walk into a room and they're like,
00:14:02.590 --> 00:14:04.971
needs a cat, needs a couch, needs a rug,
00:14:05.071 --> 00:14:05.672
needs a plant,
00:14:06.152 --> 00:14:07.773
but in like any setting in like,
00:14:08.293 --> 00:14:09.293
like they're good.
00:14:10.115 --> 00:14:10.674
Not you.
00:14:11.075 --> 00:14:11.414
No,
00:14:11.556 --> 00:14:13.736
I feel like if I had to pick my top two,
00:14:13.777 --> 00:14:15.778
it'd be wonder and galvanizing.
00:14:16.278 --> 00:14:17.219
Oh, okay.
00:14:17.239 --> 00:14:19.259
Cause I like to think I motivate people.
00:14:19.520 --> 00:14:19.701
Well,
00:14:19.721 --> 00:14:22.241
that's good at like seeing people's
00:14:22.261 --> 00:14:23.842
gifts and helping motivate
00:14:23.863 --> 00:14:24.644
them towards it.
00:14:25.225 --> 00:14:27.447
and um so I would pick
00:14:27.506 --> 00:14:29.528
galvanizer and wonder for
00:14:29.548 --> 00:14:32.149
my top two and then maybe
00:14:32.528 --> 00:14:36.129
discernment and invention
00:14:36.289 --> 00:14:38.191
second and then tenacity
00:14:38.250 --> 00:14:40.072
and enablement last yeah
00:14:40.111 --> 00:14:42.692
tenacity is tough but those
00:14:42.712 --> 00:14:43.493
are the people remember
00:14:43.513 --> 00:14:45.354
when I did party with a purpose yeah
00:14:46.187 --> 00:14:49.812
I, it wasn't on purpose, purpose,
00:14:50.533 --> 00:14:52.154
but Karen Hughes from the
00:14:52.195 --> 00:14:53.615
Academy of Leadership and Innovation,
00:14:53.996 --> 00:14:54.677
we sort of,
00:14:55.258 --> 00:14:56.440
I pitched the idea in a Zoom
00:14:56.460 --> 00:14:58.062
call and she and I sort of
00:14:58.101 --> 00:14:59.322
found each other and she was like,
00:15:01.024 --> 00:15:02.167
and in my guess, she's,
00:15:02.847 --> 00:15:04.490
I think her number one would be tenacity.
00:15:05.791 --> 00:15:06.932
And I feel like the two of
00:15:06.971 --> 00:15:08.452
us together have so many good ideas,
00:15:08.493 --> 00:15:09.354
but we can't get them over
00:15:09.374 --> 00:15:09.833
the finish line.
00:15:09.854 --> 00:15:10.094
Correct.
00:15:10.754 --> 00:15:11.595
So without Karen,
00:15:11.615 --> 00:15:12.796
that event wouldn't have happened,
00:15:12.895 --> 00:15:13.756
even though everybody saw
00:15:13.876 --> 00:15:15.278
me as the person who put it on,
00:15:15.758 --> 00:15:16.739
because I was the loud one.
00:15:16.798 --> 00:15:18.159
I was like the one asking the questions.
00:15:18.460 --> 00:15:21.201
But without a Karen, without a tenacity,
00:15:21.322 --> 00:15:22.702
and she's probably enablement,
00:15:23.003 --> 00:15:25.004
without a Karen, that doesn't happen.
00:15:25.784 --> 00:15:26.666
It's a really great idea
00:15:26.686 --> 00:15:27.426
that sits on the shelf.
00:15:27.525 --> 00:15:28.586
Ideas are a dime a dozen,
00:15:29.408 --> 00:15:30.327
but you have to be paired.
00:15:30.408 --> 00:15:32.970
And so what's the takeaway from all this?
00:15:32.990 --> 00:15:34.551
I need a higher tenacity.
00:15:35.816 --> 00:15:36.035
Well,
00:15:36.235 --> 00:15:38.596
Will has an organization called
00:15:38.636 --> 00:15:39.998
Virtual Rockstars where he
00:15:41.359 --> 00:15:43.318
is like a matchmaking
00:15:43.359 --> 00:15:45.259
service for virtual assistants.
00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:46.181
You need to talk to Will.
00:15:47.142 --> 00:15:48.162
Because Will is going to
00:15:48.182 --> 00:15:49.842
have you take six types of working genius,
00:15:50.163 --> 00:15:51.123
and he has everybody that
00:15:51.163 --> 00:15:53.004
works who wants to work for him take it,
00:15:53.244 --> 00:15:55.504
and he matches the right people.
00:15:55.845 --> 00:15:57.525
Because now you have a common language.
00:15:57.605 --> 00:15:59.245
You have a common nomenclature,
00:15:59.365 --> 00:16:00.506
as the academics would call it.
00:16:00.787 --> 00:16:01.567
And you're able to say,
00:16:01.947 --> 00:16:03.028
Jimmy doesn't need to hang
00:16:03.087 --> 00:16:04.687
out with Will on a regular
00:16:04.707 --> 00:16:06.109
basis in a good way.
00:16:06.269 --> 00:16:07.788
The problem would be so many
00:16:07.869 --> 00:16:09.009
ideas but no execution.
00:16:09.750 --> 00:16:10.769
But you get Jimmy and Will
00:16:10.789 --> 00:16:12.270
in a room once a month and
00:16:12.291 --> 00:16:13.770
we get fifty ideas and then
00:16:13.791 --> 00:16:14.991
we give it to a discernment
00:16:15.032 --> 00:16:15.731
person and we go,
00:16:16.011 --> 00:16:16.812
which are the two that are
00:16:16.831 --> 00:16:18.072
most likely to succeed?
00:16:18.312 --> 00:16:18.572
Good.
00:16:18.852 --> 00:16:19.972
You hand it to a tenacity
00:16:20.033 --> 00:16:21.192
enablement person and you're like,
00:16:21.493 --> 00:16:22.333
help them execute.
00:16:23.293 --> 00:16:24.653
This explains a lot of why
00:16:24.953 --> 00:16:25.754
the stuff that I do.
00:16:26.095 --> 00:16:26.735
People have been telling me
00:16:26.894 --> 00:16:28.014
to launch a course on how
00:16:28.034 --> 00:16:28.955
to teach podcasters how to
00:16:28.995 --> 00:16:30.755
podcast for years.
00:16:30.816 --> 00:16:31.296
I could do it.
00:16:31.875 --> 00:16:32.616
I don't have a tenacity or
00:16:32.636 --> 00:16:33.297
an enablement person.
00:16:33.317 --> 00:16:33.397
Yeah,
00:16:33.836 --> 00:16:35.596
I've got a whole book of things that
00:16:35.616 --> 00:16:37.738
I want to do.
00:16:38.393 --> 00:16:38.712
Right?
00:16:38.972 --> 00:16:39.854
But this explains,
00:16:40.274 --> 00:16:41.274
but here's the flip side.
00:16:41.735 --> 00:16:43.596
The tenacity and enablement
00:16:43.615 --> 00:16:44.956
people are sitting around going,
00:16:45.317 --> 00:16:46.518
wish I had someone to tee
00:16:46.538 --> 00:16:47.317
off on a good idea with.
00:16:47.357 --> 00:16:48.899
Now hiring tenacity.
00:16:49.979 --> 00:16:50.659
Neither of these,
00:16:50.860 --> 00:16:52.541
none of these six are better or worse.
00:16:52.961 --> 00:16:54.782
It's just understanding who you are,
00:16:55.523 --> 00:16:56.462
what gives you energy.
00:16:56.602 --> 00:16:57.443
I could go to a conference
00:16:57.464 --> 00:16:59.043
and talk to people all damn day.
00:16:59.325 --> 00:17:00.804
I know people who that drains them.
00:17:00.825 --> 00:17:01.446
Yeah.
00:17:02.323 --> 00:17:02.744
I get it.
00:17:03.144 --> 00:17:04.424
Doesn't mean what I do is better.
00:17:04.464 --> 00:17:06.705
It's just understanding you
00:17:07.185 --> 00:17:08.707
and like Lego bricks,
00:17:09.267 --> 00:17:10.666
which ones you should link
00:17:10.727 --> 00:17:13.028
up with in different situations.
00:17:13.048 --> 00:17:14.088
This is not universal
00:17:14.989 --> 00:17:16.789
because if it was a brainstorming sesh,
00:17:17.309 --> 00:17:18.951
a tenacity is annoying
00:17:18.971 --> 00:17:20.090
because they're like, are we done yet?
00:17:20.151 --> 00:17:21.551
And I'm like, dude, I don't, I don't know.
00:17:21.951 --> 00:17:24.573
We're going to go far wide and deep.
00:17:24.593 --> 00:17:25.553
The discernment people are
00:17:25.593 --> 00:17:27.134
really annoying during that too.
00:17:27.998 --> 00:17:28.979
But so they're better and
00:17:29.038 --> 00:17:29.859
worse in different,
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:30.540
they're just better or
00:17:30.601 --> 00:17:31.041
worse in different.
00:17:31.082 --> 00:17:31.362
But like,
00:17:31.461 --> 00:17:32.703
I need you not in the room while
00:17:32.743 --> 00:17:33.986
I'm doing that because I
00:17:34.026 --> 00:17:35.186
want to have all the ideas.
00:17:35.346 --> 00:17:36.848
I don't want to judge the ideas right now.
00:17:36.888 --> 00:17:37.470
And I don't want to have to
00:17:37.509 --> 00:17:38.832
explain them yet.
00:17:39.454 --> 00:17:39.914
Right.
00:17:40.275 --> 00:17:41.816
And then if it's a bad idea,
00:17:41.855 --> 00:17:42.556
tell me later.
00:17:42.695 --> 00:17:44.135
But right now I need to just
00:17:44.215 --> 00:17:45.215
get the idea out there
00:17:45.256 --> 00:17:46.717
because maybe the piece of
00:17:46.737 --> 00:17:47.957
that idea is going to end
00:17:48.076 --> 00:17:49.217
up being the idea.
00:17:49.936 --> 00:17:51.178
I call them idea parts.
00:17:51.278 --> 00:17:52.518
I'll be like, I have an idea part.
00:17:52.978 --> 00:17:54.157
I don't have a fully formed idea.
00:17:54.478 --> 00:17:56.219
You bring that in my mind to
00:17:56.259 --> 00:17:57.419
a discernment person.
00:17:57.939 --> 00:17:59.720
They'll be able to be like, huh?
00:17:59.819 --> 00:18:00.079
Yeah,
00:18:00.140 --> 00:18:01.279
you're eighty five percent of the way
00:18:01.299 --> 00:18:01.519
there.
00:18:02.679 --> 00:18:03.479
And then if they have a
00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:04.960
little maybe more enablement in them,
00:18:05.019 --> 00:18:05.721
they'll be able to go,
00:18:06.181 --> 00:18:07.041
what if you did that?
00:18:07.102 --> 00:18:08.082
And you're like, damn,
00:18:08.122 --> 00:18:09.103
I never would have saw that.
00:18:09.563 --> 00:18:10.403
Yes.
00:18:10.503 --> 00:18:11.304
We're better when we
00:18:11.324 --> 00:18:12.964
understand ourselves and
00:18:13.005 --> 00:18:15.046
the people on our team.
00:18:15.946 --> 00:18:16.666
This book is wild.
00:18:16.747 --> 00:18:18.228
It was eleven dollars on Audible.
00:18:18.647 --> 00:18:20.328
I don't get a nickel.
00:18:20.368 --> 00:18:21.710
I was going to do the one
00:18:21.730 --> 00:18:23.611
you said last week, the Mel Robbins one.
00:18:23.631 --> 00:18:24.451
But now I'm going to bump
00:18:24.471 --> 00:18:25.432
this one up the list
00:18:25.491 --> 00:18:27.333
because this one Mel Robbins is great.
00:18:27.792 --> 00:18:28.114
She's great.
00:18:28.134 --> 00:18:28.773
I'm still reading it.
00:18:28.814 --> 00:18:29.453
And I bought the book.
00:18:31.750 --> 00:18:32.872
that is sort of how you
00:18:32.932 --> 00:18:33.832
interact with the world.
00:18:33.872 --> 00:18:35.053
Mel Robbins' Let Them Theory.
00:18:35.073 --> 00:18:36.233
Yeah.
00:18:36.294 --> 00:18:36.513
I mean,
00:18:36.594 --> 00:18:37.835
I read the first two chapters and
00:18:37.855 --> 00:18:38.555
I'm like, get it.
00:18:38.674 --> 00:18:38.835
Like,
00:18:39.115 --> 00:18:40.096
I'm not saying I can't learn more
00:18:40.115 --> 00:18:40.556
from the book,
00:18:40.635 --> 00:18:41.396
but I'm pretty sure she's
00:18:41.416 --> 00:18:42.136
good at explaining and
00:18:42.156 --> 00:18:43.498
she's going to re-explain
00:18:43.518 --> 00:18:45.538
the same concept two more times.
00:18:46.259 --> 00:18:47.359
I'm listening to Six Types
00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:49.121
of Working Genius and I'm like, hot damn.
00:18:49.280 --> 00:18:49.701
They've also,
00:18:49.820 --> 00:18:51.041
now they've switched their business.
00:18:51.082 --> 00:18:51.442
They are,
00:18:51.561 --> 00:18:52.923
the guy who invented this is still,
00:18:52.982 --> 00:18:53.943
I think, an ad agency,
00:18:54.304 --> 00:18:55.263
but half of their business
00:18:55.284 --> 00:18:56.664
is going into giant corporations,
00:18:57.025 --> 00:18:58.925
teaching this and doing workshops.
00:18:59.205 --> 00:18:59.987
He made his own job.
00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:02.421
Yeah,
00:19:02.500 --> 00:19:04.041
I'm even just thinking about like
00:19:04.642 --> 00:19:06.242
medical teams and how this
00:19:06.262 --> 00:19:07.663
would be really helpful too.
00:19:08.424 --> 00:19:10.185
Because how are medical teams usually,
00:19:10.286 --> 00:19:13.167
what's the hierarchy?
00:19:13.208 --> 00:19:13.949
Gosh.
00:19:13.989 --> 00:19:16.330
Degrees, number of years in service,
00:19:16.711 --> 00:19:17.010
right?
00:19:18.112 --> 00:19:18.491
Whatever,
00:19:18.711 --> 00:19:20.373
like none of those are working genius.
00:19:20.574 --> 00:19:21.433
How long you're there?
00:19:22.035 --> 00:19:23.675
I mean, get it, like seniority.
00:19:23.695 --> 00:19:25.277
What certification you have.
00:19:25.317 --> 00:19:26.877
What certifications, what degrees,
00:19:27.077 --> 00:19:28.159
what your specialty is.
00:19:28.778 --> 00:19:29.759
But what if the invention
00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:30.621
guy is the janitor?
00:19:31.868 --> 00:19:32.869
And I'm not knocking janitors,
00:19:32.890 --> 00:19:33.869
but I'm just saying we
00:19:33.890 --> 00:19:34.730
would discount that
00:19:34.770 --> 00:19:36.932
person's idea based on their status,
00:19:36.951 --> 00:19:38.833
their perceived status using air quotes.
00:19:38.853 --> 00:19:40.773
Okay.
00:19:40.854 --> 00:19:41.513
Wild, right?
00:19:41.534 --> 00:19:41.614
Yeah.
00:19:43.474 --> 00:19:44.915
So I have to go to a meeting
00:19:44.935 --> 00:19:45.557
in three minutes.
00:19:45.817 --> 00:19:46.017
Yeah.
00:19:46.496 --> 00:19:47.856
but I wanted to share this with you.
00:19:47.957 --> 00:19:49.198
I was listening to this book going,
00:19:49.337 --> 00:19:49.958
Rebecca needs this.
00:19:50.219 --> 00:19:51.378
Cause you and I are wonder
00:19:51.419 --> 00:19:52.700
invention sort of people-y
00:19:53.421 --> 00:19:54.260
and you've come to me.
00:19:54.401 --> 00:19:55.561
I think I can help other
00:19:55.582 --> 00:19:56.542
people with their ideas and
00:19:56.603 --> 00:19:58.084
executions a lot easier than myself,
00:19:58.124 --> 00:19:59.105
but that's sort of a
00:19:59.204 --> 00:20:00.184
universal truth anyway.
00:20:01.105 --> 00:20:02.146
But I can see you, you're like,
00:20:02.166 --> 00:20:02.767
I want to write a book.
00:20:02.787 --> 00:20:03.667
I'm like, hell yeah.
00:20:04.587 --> 00:20:05.628
My first instinct is you
00:20:05.648 --> 00:20:06.309
need someone else to write
00:20:06.349 --> 00:20:07.130
the book with you.
00:20:07.630 --> 00:20:08.191
You're the,
00:20:08.250 --> 00:20:09.832
here's someone put it in this context.
00:20:11.413 --> 00:20:13.654
Wonder invention people, galvanizers,
00:20:14.214 --> 00:20:15.135
we're the wow people.
00:20:16.169 --> 00:20:17.069
But we need to help people.
00:20:18.030 --> 00:20:18.330
Yes.
00:20:18.550 --> 00:20:19.211
So I've been called a
00:20:19.251 --> 00:20:20.353
visionary without a plan.
00:20:20.492 --> 00:20:22.035
And I will own that.
00:20:22.915 --> 00:20:23.215
Own it.
00:20:24.037 --> 00:20:24.777
I will own that.
00:20:25.810 --> 00:20:31.394
But it's a great vision.
00:20:31.413 --> 00:20:31.993
So if you're the person who
00:20:32.034 --> 00:20:32.855
can make the plan, like, you know,
00:20:32.875 --> 00:20:33.194
I'm open to that.
00:20:33.214 --> 00:20:33.394
Please.
00:20:33.414 --> 00:20:34.375
This is if you want to go fast, go alone.
00:20:34.394 --> 00:20:35.496
If you want to go far, go together.
00:20:35.756 --> 00:20:36.215
Is that right?
00:20:36.256 --> 00:20:36.435
Yeah.
00:20:36.455 --> 00:20:37.817
Fast, alone, far together.
00:20:38.457 --> 00:20:39.458
Parting shots for today.
00:20:39.478 --> 00:20:41.078
This is a truncated episode
00:20:41.118 --> 00:20:42.159
live stream because I have
00:20:42.179 --> 00:20:42.920
a meeting to go to.
00:20:43.579 --> 00:20:44.359
It should be my lunch,
00:20:44.380 --> 00:20:45.040
but I'm doing a meeting.
00:20:45.141 --> 00:20:46.701
But what would you leave with everybody?
00:20:46.761 --> 00:20:47.382
Parting shot today.
00:20:49.386 --> 00:20:50.428
I think my parting shot is
00:20:50.448 --> 00:20:52.348
just accept who you are and
00:20:52.588 --> 00:20:53.849
go forward into where your
00:20:53.890 --> 00:20:55.310
strengths are instead of
00:20:55.351 --> 00:20:56.451
trying to force yourself to
00:20:56.490 --> 00:20:57.392
be good at something that
00:20:57.412 --> 00:20:58.291
you're not and something
00:20:58.311 --> 00:20:59.532
that doesn't serve you or
00:20:59.633 --> 00:21:00.453
others and something that
00:21:00.473 --> 00:21:01.753
you don't enjoy and partner
00:21:01.773 --> 00:21:02.515
with the right people.
00:21:02.875 --> 00:21:03.955
I love hanging out with you
00:21:03.976 --> 00:21:05.296
because we are fun and we
00:21:05.316 --> 00:21:06.257
do fun things together.
00:21:06.376 --> 00:21:08.077
We're not going to write a book together.
00:21:08.417 --> 00:21:10.318
We're not going to run a company together.
00:21:10.638 --> 00:21:11.460
We shouldn't.
00:21:11.539 --> 00:21:11.880
No.
00:21:12.460 --> 00:21:12.760
We shouldn't.
00:21:13.520 --> 00:21:16.103
I would say the...
00:21:17.261 --> 00:21:18.481
Success you're seeking is
00:21:18.521 --> 00:21:19.722
hiding in the work you're not doing.
00:21:20.423 --> 00:21:22.423
And sometimes, a lot of times,
00:21:22.463 --> 00:21:26.444
and I'm speaking from myself, it's me.
00:21:26.684 --> 00:21:27.665
Hi, I'm the problem.
00:21:28.226 --> 00:21:28.566
It's me.
00:21:28.846 --> 00:21:29.566
Sometimes you are the
00:21:29.586 --> 00:21:30.727
limiting factor in that.
00:21:31.287 --> 00:21:33.326
So get out of your own way.
00:21:33.688 --> 00:21:34.347
And sometimes it's
00:21:34.407 --> 00:21:35.468
understanding what you're great at,
00:21:35.728 --> 00:21:36.628
what you're not so great at,
00:21:37.088 --> 00:21:37.828
and then hiring or
00:21:37.868 --> 00:21:38.689
partnering for the things
00:21:38.709 --> 00:21:39.229
you're not great at.
00:21:39.589 --> 00:21:40.890
Or in this case of Working Genius,
00:21:41.190 --> 00:21:43.990
the things that you might, you can do,
00:21:44.111 --> 00:21:45.392
I can do a tenacity task.
00:21:45.471 --> 00:21:46.372
I've run the Ironman.
00:21:48.167 --> 00:21:50.150
Same.
00:21:50.250 --> 00:21:50.830
I can do it,
00:21:51.371 --> 00:21:53.854
but some tenacity tasks suck
00:21:53.894 --> 00:21:54.634
the life out of me.
00:21:54.714 --> 00:21:55.796
I'm just not going to finish them.
00:21:55.816 --> 00:21:57.278
Yeah.
00:21:57.337 --> 00:21:57.798
So, all right.
00:21:57.817 --> 00:21:59.039
That's my parting shot for today.
00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:00.161
We'll be back next week with
00:22:00.221 --> 00:22:02.042
longer to dive in with Rebecca Griffith,
00:22:02.063 --> 00:22:02.663
the EDDPT.
