00:00:03.170 --> 00:00:04.671
Rebecca Griffith is back on

00:00:04.692 --> 00:00:05.472
the live stream.

00:00:06.674 --> 00:00:07.934
People know her as the EDDPT.

00:00:07.974 --> 00:00:09.756
Rebecca, how are you?

00:00:09.797 --> 00:00:10.157
I'm good.

00:00:10.297 --> 00:00:11.278
How about you?

00:00:11.298 --> 00:00:11.718
Doing great.

00:00:12.980 --> 00:00:13.720
Good weekend.

00:00:13.781 --> 00:00:15.481
Anything fun, exciting?

00:00:15.522 --> 00:00:17.724
You're in a fun, bright place.

00:00:17.783 --> 00:00:18.745
You're in a sunny place.

00:00:19.666 --> 00:00:21.266
Yeah, Colorado was beautiful this weekend.

00:00:21.306 --> 00:00:22.388
I have no complaints about that.

00:00:22.408 --> 00:00:26.010
We spent the weekend in track meet.

00:00:26.032 --> 00:00:26.452
That's fun.

00:00:26.472 --> 00:00:27.172
Yeah, it was good.

00:00:27.193 --> 00:00:27.353
Yeah.

00:00:29.966 --> 00:00:30.588
We're going to go back in

00:00:30.608 --> 00:00:31.888
the Wayback Machine before

00:00:31.928 --> 00:00:33.591
we dive into today's topic.

00:00:33.670 --> 00:00:35.673
Three years ago today,

00:00:36.335 --> 00:00:37.676
we were talking about books.

00:00:37.756 --> 00:00:38.197
Do you remember?

00:00:38.216 --> 00:00:39.399
This was three years ago?

00:00:39.518 --> 00:00:40.960
I have no idea how that happened.

00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:41.942
I don't either.

00:00:42.451 --> 00:00:44.713
So I'm showing a screenshot of a Facebook,

00:00:44.932 --> 00:00:46.094
one of those memories where it's like,

00:00:46.113 --> 00:00:46.994
hey, three years ago.

00:00:47.375 --> 00:00:48.314
And we were talking about

00:00:49.055 --> 00:00:50.637
Vivek Murthy's book together,

00:00:50.957 --> 00:00:52.218
The Healing Power of Human Connection.

00:00:52.277 --> 00:00:54.118
He was the former.

00:00:54.179 --> 00:00:55.799
Nineteenth Surgeon General of the US.

00:00:55.820 --> 00:00:56.460
He was talking about how

00:00:56.500 --> 00:00:58.441
like loneliness is an epidemic.

00:00:58.460 --> 00:01:00.603
So we talked about that three years ago,

00:01:00.643 --> 00:01:01.023
apparently.

00:01:02.398 --> 00:01:03.819
lot and that was like you

00:01:03.838 --> 00:01:04.998
know twenty twenty two when

00:01:05.019 --> 00:01:05.700
we were like doing book

00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:06.739
club maybe we'll bring well

00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:07.680
this is sort of better than

00:01:07.700 --> 00:01:08.820
book club not that I don't

00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:09.921
like twenty people talking

00:01:09.962 --> 00:01:11.543
about a book but like it's

00:01:11.582 --> 00:01:13.063
hard to talk when there's

00:01:13.243 --> 00:01:14.343
eight or ten or twelve

00:01:14.384 --> 00:01:16.444
people in a room especially

00:01:16.465 --> 00:01:19.227
like me I want to talk yeah

00:01:19.287 --> 00:01:20.326
and I actually kind of like

00:01:20.367 --> 00:01:21.126
talking about a lot of

00:01:21.147 --> 00:01:21.927
different books instead of

00:01:21.947 --> 00:01:22.828
just talking about one book

00:01:22.867 --> 00:01:23.828
because everybody brings

00:01:23.868 --> 00:01:24.349
like a different

00:01:24.368 --> 00:01:25.530
perspective and then like

00:01:25.549 --> 00:01:26.430
you mentioned a book last

00:01:26.469 --> 00:01:27.891
week I read it this week and it was great

00:01:28.850 --> 00:01:29.974
All right, so let's dive into it.

00:01:30.013 --> 00:01:31.197
So last week I sort of,

00:01:31.457 --> 00:01:32.421
we had to go kind of quick,

00:01:32.460 --> 00:01:34.486
but I went through this six

00:01:34.525 --> 00:01:35.709
types of working genius

00:01:35.909 --> 00:01:37.573
book and I'd heard of it before.

00:01:39.210 --> 00:01:40.831
Um, and, but I listened to it,

00:01:40.912 --> 00:01:41.933
which was the first time I

00:01:41.972 --> 00:01:42.853
think I ever finished an

00:01:42.894 --> 00:01:43.674
entire audio book.

00:01:43.694 --> 00:01:45.055
I don't, I listened to a lot of podcasts,

00:01:45.075 --> 00:01:45.936
but not a lot of books.

00:01:46.837 --> 00:01:48.718
Um, and then you were like, Hey,

00:01:48.739 --> 00:01:49.399
that's interesting.

00:01:49.638 --> 00:01:51.540
And then people like normal people,

00:01:51.781 --> 00:01:53.563
I think like more people, not like,

00:01:53.903 --> 00:01:54.602
like you're abnormal,

00:01:54.643 --> 00:01:55.463
but you are abnormal in

00:01:55.483 --> 00:01:57.045
that you'll like buy the

00:01:57.064 --> 00:01:58.105
book and finish the book in

00:01:58.126 --> 00:01:58.727
less than a week.

00:01:58.787 --> 00:01:59.507
That's a little abnormal.

00:01:59.527 --> 00:02:01.188
Well,

00:02:01.448 --> 00:02:03.349
I listened to it like you did since

00:02:03.370 --> 00:02:04.210
you were listening to it,

00:02:04.251 --> 00:02:05.251
but I listen to audio books

00:02:05.331 --> 00:02:06.111
on two point five speed.

00:02:06.313 --> 00:02:07.993
So I think that's part of it.

00:02:09.304 --> 00:02:09.804
I don't know why,

00:02:09.843 --> 00:02:10.903
but that just gives me

00:02:10.924 --> 00:02:11.985
heart palpitations.

00:02:12.164 --> 00:02:13.104
I can listen to something on,

00:02:13.865 --> 00:02:15.504
like I listen to like work stuff,

00:02:15.544 --> 00:02:16.385
like work lessons.

00:02:16.406 --> 00:02:18.346
I'm like one point two five.

00:02:18.725 --> 00:02:19.825
And I think I'm edgy there.

00:02:19.925 --> 00:02:21.447
One point five is too much for me.

00:02:22.567 --> 00:02:24.306
No, two point five feels just about right.

00:02:24.326 --> 00:02:25.207
Like if I slow it down,

00:02:25.247 --> 00:02:28.527
it feels like they're talking so slowly.

00:02:28.668 --> 00:02:29.068
I don't know.

00:02:29.088 --> 00:02:29.528
I don't know.

00:02:29.549 --> 00:02:30.868
My brain just prefers that.

00:02:32.868 --> 00:02:33.068
All right,

00:02:33.088 --> 00:02:33.989
so let's dive into six types of

00:02:34.008 --> 00:02:34.750
working genius.

00:02:35.210 --> 00:02:36.370
Well,

00:02:36.409 --> 00:02:38.129
you asked ChatGPT how we should

00:02:38.150 --> 00:02:38.610
format this.

00:02:38.651 --> 00:02:39.251
So you tell me,

00:02:39.311 --> 00:02:40.151
how are we gonna format this?

00:02:40.610 --> 00:02:40.830
Well,

00:02:40.931 --> 00:02:42.330
I asked ChatGPT about strength

00:02:42.350 --> 00:02:43.292
binders and how we could

00:02:43.312 --> 00:02:44.592
use that based on our six

00:02:44.671 --> 00:02:45.451
areas of working genius.

00:02:45.472 --> 00:02:46.252
Because we talked about that

00:02:46.271 --> 00:02:47.312
last week and I felt like

00:02:47.332 --> 00:02:48.432
we were pretty solid with

00:02:48.453 --> 00:02:49.992
the six types of working genius.

00:02:50.513 --> 00:02:52.093
But I wanted to mention I

00:02:52.133 --> 00:02:53.193
had a conversation with my

00:02:53.234 --> 00:02:53.973
husband about that.

00:02:54.413 --> 00:02:55.314
So you and I were trying to

00:02:55.335 --> 00:02:56.435
guess each other's strengths.

00:02:56.555 --> 00:02:58.094
And I was like, hey, husband,

00:02:58.134 --> 00:02:59.375
here's the basic premise.

00:02:59.436 --> 00:03:00.496
What would you choose my two

00:03:00.515 --> 00:03:01.056
strengths are?

00:03:02.474 --> 00:03:04.338
And he chose totally different things.

00:03:04.500 --> 00:03:06.223
And I think that's because

00:03:06.424 --> 00:03:07.766
who I am for my family and

00:03:07.826 --> 00:03:08.628
who I am professionally

00:03:08.669 --> 00:03:09.570
maybe are different.

00:03:10.292 --> 00:03:11.534
And maybe some people have

00:03:11.574 --> 00:03:13.018
like the same strengths

00:03:14.019 --> 00:03:15.719
throughout their life or is

00:03:15.780 --> 00:03:17.181
it just that I'm in those

00:03:17.241 --> 00:03:18.581
roles at home like those

00:03:18.662 --> 00:03:20.062
are just my roles and are

00:03:20.082 --> 00:03:21.243
those my yellow roles I

00:03:21.283 --> 00:03:22.163
don't know but so I've been

00:03:22.183 --> 00:03:23.164
thinking about that a

00:03:23.224 --> 00:03:23.965
little bit this week have

00:03:23.985 --> 00:03:24.765
you thought about that

00:03:24.786 --> 00:03:26.106
whether you personally feel

00:03:26.127 --> 00:03:27.448
like you're different you

00:03:27.487 --> 00:03:28.807
mentioned it I've thought

00:03:28.828 --> 00:03:31.270
about it I also I have I

00:03:31.289 --> 00:03:31.830
don't even know the

00:03:31.889 --> 00:03:32.770
technical term I have a

00:03:32.811 --> 00:03:34.771
very chameleony personality

00:03:34.792 --> 00:03:35.752
but I think a lot of people

00:03:35.793 --> 00:03:37.394
do which is like listen

00:03:37.413 --> 00:03:38.574
when I'm around my bros

00:03:39.435 --> 00:03:41.437
I'm a different guy in that group.

00:03:41.616 --> 00:03:42.758
You throw another person in

00:03:42.777 --> 00:03:43.718
that group and everybody's

00:03:43.739 --> 00:03:44.819
sort of like doing the math

00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:45.520
where they're like,

00:03:45.561 --> 00:03:46.461
who do I need to be more of?

00:03:46.480 --> 00:03:47.241
Who do I need to be less of?

00:03:47.262 --> 00:03:47.542
I don't know.

00:03:47.562 --> 00:03:48.143
Maybe that's just me.

00:03:48.182 --> 00:03:49.223
I'll stop talking in

00:03:49.243 --> 00:03:50.604
generalities and I'll just talk about me.

00:03:51.165 --> 00:03:51.885
But I'm different when I'm

00:03:51.906 --> 00:03:53.987
around my family versus, well,

00:03:54.048 --> 00:03:55.248
even like different parts of the family.

00:03:55.288 --> 00:03:57.610
If I'm in a group of cousins or if,

00:03:57.651 --> 00:03:57.812
you know,

00:03:57.852 --> 00:03:59.152
you throw an aunt and uncle in the mix,

00:03:59.413 --> 00:03:59.893
it changes.

00:03:59.913 --> 00:04:01.775
So I think that's kind of universal.

00:04:01.794 --> 00:04:02.415
I think we're different

00:04:02.675 --> 00:04:03.637
people at different times.

00:04:04.264 --> 00:04:04.364
Well,

00:04:04.403 --> 00:04:06.048
also it's the space that needs to be

00:04:06.127 --> 00:04:06.689
filled, right?

00:04:06.750 --> 00:04:08.313
And so I think my strengths

00:04:08.354 --> 00:04:09.717
at home are the supportive

00:04:09.817 --> 00:04:13.305
one and the one that finishes things.

00:04:14.342 --> 00:04:15.943
And that is because nobody

00:04:16.004 --> 00:04:18.105
else in the house really has those gifts.

00:04:18.305 --> 00:04:20.107
So even if they're the

00:04:20.127 --> 00:04:21.767
things that kind of drain me of energy,

00:04:21.788 --> 00:04:22.569
they're still the things

00:04:22.608 --> 00:04:24.089
that I am the most skilled

00:04:24.209 --> 00:04:26.052
at and can deliver for my family.

00:04:26.572 --> 00:04:28.252
And it's a gift to be able to do that.

00:04:28.574 --> 00:04:29.173
But it was really

00:04:29.233 --> 00:04:30.334
interesting to think about that.

00:04:30.355 --> 00:04:31.696
Like, why am I in these roles?

00:04:31.735 --> 00:04:32.836
Could I be doing something

00:04:32.877 --> 00:04:34.478
differently at home that

00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:36.120
would play more to my strengths too?

00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:36.300
Yeah.

00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:37.822
I've got two really good

00:04:37.841 --> 00:04:38.762
friends from high school.

00:04:40.144 --> 00:04:41.285
Can hang out with them together,

00:04:41.324 --> 00:04:42.146
but definitely can hang out

00:04:42.165 --> 00:04:43.146
with them separately, right?

00:04:43.608 --> 00:04:45.790
And Brian is a middle school

00:04:46.550 --> 00:04:47.591
social studies teacher.

00:04:47.952 --> 00:04:49.274
Brian's the down the middle.

00:04:49.935 --> 00:04:50.235
You know,

00:04:50.295 --> 00:04:51.156
I don't think I would offend him.

00:04:51.196 --> 00:04:52.396
He's a play it safe guy.

00:04:52.456 --> 00:04:53.778
Like he's always done the right thing.

00:04:54.278 --> 00:04:55.420
When I'm with Brian,

00:04:55.901 --> 00:04:57.822
I can be sort of edgy.

00:04:58.788 --> 00:04:59.908
Cause Brian's never going to

00:04:59.928 --> 00:05:01.108
let me go too far.

00:05:01.410 --> 00:05:02.490
Brian's been a dad even

00:05:02.529 --> 00:05:03.370
before he had kids.

00:05:03.430 --> 00:05:04.850
Like I was his first kid probably.

00:05:05.290 --> 00:05:05.470
Right.

00:05:05.750 --> 00:05:06.591
But I hang out with my buddy

00:05:06.630 --> 00:05:10.711
Paco and Paco's a little more risk averse,

00:05:10.990 --> 00:05:12.692
sorry, risk risk takers, not risk averse,

00:05:12.711 --> 00:05:13.151
risk taker.

00:05:13.512 --> 00:05:15.771
So with Paco, I can like go with him,

00:05:15.812 --> 00:05:17.492
but I probably am a little more like,

00:05:17.932 --> 00:05:18.632
Hey man,

00:05:18.692 --> 00:05:20.773
maybe this is as far as we should go.

00:05:20.812 --> 00:05:22.213
Like this feels like, cause I'm like,

00:05:22.254 --> 00:05:24.033
there's no Brian to anchor us.

00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:25.802
So I think we do,

00:05:25.841 --> 00:05:27.447
we do change based on who we're with.

00:05:27.487 --> 00:05:28.028
All right,

00:05:28.288 --> 00:05:31.437
let's relate this to StrengthsFinders.

00:05:31.476 --> 00:05:32.298
How do you wanna do that?

00:05:32.940 --> 00:05:33.100
Well,

00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:35.341
so I was thinking about that and I

00:05:35.382 --> 00:05:36.283
think that the six areas of

00:05:36.302 --> 00:05:37.163
working genius are just

00:05:37.182 --> 00:05:37.642
sort of a way to

00:05:37.682 --> 00:05:38.983
consolidate the strength finders.

00:05:39.223 --> 00:05:40.064
Yeah, yeah.

00:05:40.144 --> 00:05:41.404
It's a parallel.

00:05:41.464 --> 00:05:42.464
Can we review it real quick?

00:05:42.865 --> 00:05:43.305
Yeah.

00:05:43.505 --> 00:05:44.545
So six types of working

00:05:44.586 --> 00:05:45.987
genius says there are six

00:05:46.807 --> 00:05:49.728
types of activities, right?

00:05:49.968 --> 00:05:50.488
So that's where I think

00:05:50.548 --> 00:05:51.608
strength finders is talking

00:05:51.629 --> 00:05:52.529
about your DNA.

00:05:53.009 --> 00:05:54.209
I think six types of working

00:05:54.250 --> 00:05:55.370
genius is talking about the

00:05:55.451 --> 00:05:56.630
types of activities that

00:05:56.670 --> 00:05:58.911
need to be done in work, at home,

00:05:58.951 --> 00:05:59.552
just in things.

00:06:00.572 --> 00:06:02.677
And since there are six,

00:06:03.237 --> 00:06:04.639
they tested so many people

00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:05.961
and they figured out that

00:06:06.163 --> 00:06:07.103
everybody is sort of a

00:06:07.223 --> 00:06:08.365
genius at two of them.

00:06:08.947 --> 00:06:09.086
Yeah.

00:06:09.557 --> 00:06:11.197
meaning you get energy from them,

00:06:11.358 --> 00:06:12.478
could do them all day long.

00:06:13.699 --> 00:06:15.298
They call them geniuses, right?

00:06:15.379 --> 00:06:17.500
And then that's like green, yellow, red,

00:06:17.540 --> 00:06:19.060
green, yellow, red, right?

00:06:19.100 --> 00:06:20.120
So green would be geniuses,

00:06:20.300 --> 00:06:21.540
yellow would be competencies.

00:06:21.581 --> 00:06:23.601
You can do it neither here nor there,

00:06:23.641 --> 00:06:24.723
it's a little like mayonnaise.

00:06:25.242 --> 00:06:26.702
And then there are frustrations.

00:06:27.024 --> 00:06:27.783
These are the things if you

00:06:27.843 --> 00:06:28.684
had to do them for a

00:06:28.723 --> 00:06:29.584
prolonged period of time,

00:06:29.884 --> 00:06:30.884
you would hate life and be

00:06:30.904 --> 00:06:33.086
like this job or this activity, I'm out.

00:06:33.865 --> 00:06:35.307
Whereas StrengthsFinders is

00:06:35.346 --> 00:06:39.490
like talking about drivers or how you,

00:06:40.071 --> 00:06:40.312
I don't know,

00:06:40.372 --> 00:06:41.451
how would you sort of frame it?

00:06:41.473 --> 00:06:43.334
It's like an internal part of your DNA.

00:06:43.353 --> 00:06:43.514
Yeah.

00:06:43.553 --> 00:06:43.673
Yeah.

00:06:43.694 --> 00:06:47.036
So they talk about like how

00:06:47.137 --> 00:06:48.458
it sets you apart from other people.

00:06:48.478 --> 00:06:50.500
They call it your talent DNA.

00:06:50.540 --> 00:06:51.281
Talent DNA.

00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:51.781
All right.

00:06:51.821 --> 00:06:53.622
So how do you want to dive into this?

00:06:53.642 --> 00:06:54.083
Because this is,

00:06:54.142 --> 00:06:56.084
I feel like a little more complicated,

00:06:56.144 --> 00:06:58.005
which I'm never for,

00:06:58.065 --> 00:06:59.487
but I did like taking

00:06:59.528 --> 00:07:00.809
StrengthsFinders a few years ago.

00:07:01.382 --> 00:07:02.742
Well, there's thirty four of them.

00:07:02.822 --> 00:07:04.564
And I feel like that's kind of excessive.

00:07:05.663 --> 00:07:06.665
It's sort of ranking where

00:07:06.685 --> 00:07:07.464
you are in these thirty

00:07:07.485 --> 00:07:08.524
four characteristics.

00:07:08.704 --> 00:07:10.065
And I think every physical

00:07:10.105 --> 00:07:11.146
therapist probably has some

00:07:11.185 --> 00:07:12.206
combination of these.

00:07:12.586 --> 00:07:13.526
What I'm curious about is

00:07:13.627 --> 00:07:15.487
what you think would make

00:07:16.507 --> 00:07:18.507
the top strengths for a PT,

00:07:18.807 --> 00:07:19.387
because I'm going to guess

00:07:19.408 --> 00:07:20.988
that yours and mine are also different.

00:07:21.485 --> 00:07:21.584
Well,

00:07:21.605 --> 00:07:22.505
they're definitely different just

00:07:22.526 --> 00:07:23.387
because there's too many.

00:07:23.786 --> 00:07:24.567
I don't know.

00:07:24.747 --> 00:07:25.749
I don't know if I know

00:07:25.829 --> 00:07:27.331
StrengthsFinders well enough.

00:07:27.831 --> 00:07:31.473
And again, I took it because Megan Moran,

00:07:31.634 --> 00:07:33.697
who's a PT faculty at

00:07:33.737 --> 00:07:34.898
Marymount where I went to school,

00:07:35.338 --> 00:07:40.807
they used this as a way –

00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:37.899
they gave it to a bunch of

00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:39.122
incoming PT students.

00:07:39.541 --> 00:07:41.744
But the way she presented it at CSM,

00:07:41.803 --> 00:07:43.244
I believe –

00:07:42.764 --> 00:07:43.185
She was like,

00:07:43.564 --> 00:07:44.245
most of the time when you

00:07:44.286 --> 00:07:45.165
take StrengthsFinders,

00:07:45.266 --> 00:07:46.646
the results don't shock you.

00:07:46.807 --> 00:07:47.507
They're not shocking.

00:07:47.547 --> 00:07:49.088
They're cool to find out about yourself,

00:07:49.327 --> 00:07:50.488
but they're not like, oh my God,

00:07:50.509 --> 00:07:51.428
I had no idea.

00:07:52.189 --> 00:07:53.110
Where she said there was

00:07:53.209 --> 00:07:54.370
value is because it's a

00:07:54.411 --> 00:07:56.112
problem-based learning school in small,

00:07:56.172 --> 00:07:56.552
everything was,

00:07:56.911 --> 00:07:58.112
most of the things were done in groups.

00:07:58.653 --> 00:08:00.473
It was unique to be like, oh,

00:08:01.394 --> 00:08:02.995
how do I interact with

00:08:03.055 --> 00:08:04.295
someone who's good at that

00:08:04.375 --> 00:08:05.415
or maybe bad at that?

00:08:05.516 --> 00:08:06.836
And how do we fit together?

00:08:06.857 --> 00:08:08.077
Because most of the things

00:08:08.098 --> 00:08:08.858
we're going to do in life

00:08:08.937 --> 00:08:10.678
is with a partner, with a group.

00:08:11.322 --> 00:08:12.704
Yeah, and it's got different themes,

00:08:12.764 --> 00:08:12.944
right?

00:08:12.963 --> 00:08:15.045
Like executing, influencing,

00:08:15.305 --> 00:08:16.545
relationship building,

00:08:16.605 --> 00:08:17.466
and strategic thinking.

00:08:17.505 --> 00:08:19.026
And I think those themes are

00:08:19.047 --> 00:08:20.348
key for physical therapists.

00:08:20.827 --> 00:08:22.009
And then it's like little

00:08:22.088 --> 00:08:23.310
characteristics within that.

00:08:23.410 --> 00:08:24.569
But I like that it gives you

00:08:24.610 --> 00:08:25.690
like your top five.

00:08:26.151 --> 00:08:27.531
Right.

00:08:27.572 --> 00:08:28.653
So what would be the top

00:08:28.673 --> 00:08:30.613
five for a perfect PT if we

00:08:30.634 --> 00:08:33.534
were to grow a PT in a lab?

00:08:33.634 --> 00:08:34.556
I think that's a great question.

00:08:35.289 --> 00:08:36.770
question so one of them this

00:08:36.870 --> 00:08:38.130
is gonna this might be

00:08:38.511 --> 00:08:39.432
you'll appreciate this

00:08:39.471 --> 00:08:40.253
because this is one of

00:08:40.293 --> 00:08:43.453
yours is woo I think top

00:08:43.474 --> 00:08:45.615
five say it one more time I

00:08:45.634 --> 00:08:46.535
think woo should be in the

00:08:46.576 --> 00:08:47.956
top five of a perfect pt

00:08:47.975 --> 00:08:50.918
yeah okay because you have

00:08:50.937 --> 00:08:52.879
to like get some buy-in

00:08:52.899 --> 00:08:54.019
from your patient you have

00:08:54.038 --> 00:08:55.039
to have them trust you have

00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:56.000
to build a relationship

00:08:56.019 --> 00:08:57.640
like it's like like your

00:08:57.681 --> 00:08:58.822
first visit with patients a

00:08:58.861 --> 00:09:00.101
little bit like first date

00:09:00.202 --> 00:09:01.462
you want to make sure that

00:09:01.702 --> 00:09:02.504
there's some chemistry

00:09:02.543 --> 00:09:03.783
there there's a match there

00:09:03.803 --> 00:09:05.044
there's like some buy-in

00:09:05.586 --> 00:09:08.427
So I think Wu would be one.

00:09:08.447 --> 00:09:08.989
Um, I agree.

00:09:09.769 --> 00:09:11.471
Um, Wu was my, and they,

00:09:11.591 --> 00:09:12.871
or they order these Wu is

00:09:12.932 --> 00:09:14.854
my number three and Wu

00:09:14.894 --> 00:09:16.514
falls into the pay on the, the, their,

00:09:16.575 --> 00:09:17.655
the strength finders pillar

00:09:17.696 --> 00:09:18.756
of influencing.

00:09:18.777 --> 00:09:19.636
It does,

00:09:19.657 --> 00:09:21.739
which is themes help you take charge,

00:09:21.778 --> 00:09:24.041
speak up and make sure others are heard.

00:09:24.061 --> 00:09:27.062
It's uh, my number.

00:09:27.903 --> 00:09:29.125
You're not a Wu person.

00:09:29.144 --> 00:09:31.746
No, apparently not.

00:09:31.807 --> 00:09:32.687
I'm an activator.

00:09:32.768 --> 00:09:33.889
That's my influencer.

00:09:34.355 --> 00:09:36.616
So the problem with Woo that I've found is,

00:09:38.217 --> 00:09:40.559
me figuring out someone doesn't like me,

00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:41.399
even if they do,

00:09:41.500 --> 00:09:43.022
if I don't think they like me,

00:09:43.662 --> 00:09:45.082
I then have to chase this down.

00:09:45.202 --> 00:09:46.224
And I'm just jokingly,

00:09:46.303 --> 00:09:47.965
not jokingly explaining this to people,

00:09:47.985 --> 00:09:48.645
which is like,

00:09:49.166 --> 00:09:50.106
I've been in some

00:09:50.147 --> 00:09:51.947
relationships where I'm like,

00:09:52.168 --> 00:09:53.168
I spent ninety percent of

00:09:53.208 --> 00:09:55.311
that relationship just

00:09:55.350 --> 00:09:56.831
trying to get that person to like me.

00:09:56.912 --> 00:09:57.993
And the person did like me,

00:09:58.033 --> 00:09:59.134
but I wasn't sure of it.

00:09:59.153 --> 00:10:02.155
So it's not necessarily, it's a strength,

00:10:02.176 --> 00:10:03.277
but it could also be a weakness.

00:10:03.813 --> 00:10:06.596
You got to finish the let

00:10:06.615 --> 00:10:07.035
them book then Jimmy.

00:10:07.056 --> 00:10:07.397
I know I'm on it.

00:10:07.437 --> 00:10:07.797
I'm on it.

00:10:07.817 --> 00:10:09.818
Cause we're working on that one.

00:10:09.839 --> 00:10:10.019
All right.

00:10:10.038 --> 00:10:10.719
So what else,

00:10:10.739 --> 00:10:11.539
what else would go into a

00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:15.682
perfect physical therapist?

00:10:15.722 --> 00:10:17.063
Probably communication.

00:10:17.884 --> 00:10:18.004
Yeah.

00:10:18.024 --> 00:10:18.625
You're going to have to be

00:10:18.644 --> 00:10:19.566
able to take what you know

00:10:19.625 --> 00:10:20.267
and communicate it.

00:10:20.307 --> 00:10:21.527
Cause it doesn't do anything in your head.

00:10:21.547 --> 00:10:25.350
Analytical.

00:10:25.370 --> 00:10:26.671
Because you've got to be

00:10:26.711 --> 00:10:27.971
able to figure out, I mean,

00:10:28.011 --> 00:10:29.953
a lot of it is evaluation and diagnosis.

00:10:30.053 --> 00:10:30.274
Okay.

00:10:30.293 --> 00:10:30.934
Yeah.

00:10:31.914 --> 00:10:32.495
Um, maybe.

00:10:36.184 --> 00:10:39.986
And individualization is

00:10:40.226 --> 00:10:41.628
you're intrigued by the

00:10:41.727 --> 00:10:43.249
unique qualities of each person.

00:10:43.288 --> 00:10:45.529
So you're very interested

00:10:45.570 --> 00:10:47.671
patient to patient in what

00:10:47.711 --> 00:10:48.971
is going on as an individual.

00:10:49.192 --> 00:10:49.731
I have that one.

00:10:49.751 --> 00:10:50.592
That's in my top five.

00:10:50.633 --> 00:10:51.873
Is that in your top five?

00:10:53.073 --> 00:10:53.333
No.

00:10:53.354 --> 00:10:53.634
Okay.

00:10:53.653 --> 00:10:56.196
I'm a very good PT now, Jimmy.

00:10:56.216 --> 00:10:57.416
That's not how this works.

00:10:57.515 --> 00:10:58.756
We all have our skills.

00:10:59.277 --> 00:11:00.758
We need our familiar skills

00:11:00.798 --> 00:11:01.899
in unfamiliar places,

00:11:01.918 --> 00:11:02.698
and that's our superpower.

00:11:05.133 --> 00:11:06.014
And then maybe empathy.

00:11:07.234 --> 00:11:07.634
Oh, okay.

00:11:07.754 --> 00:11:08.335
Absolutely.

00:11:08.394 --> 00:11:08.615
I mean,

00:11:09.075 --> 00:11:12.475
empathy will put you in the shoes

00:11:12.635 --> 00:11:13.556
or attempt to be able to

00:11:13.677 --> 00:11:14.537
understand what another

00:11:14.557 --> 00:11:15.157
person is feeling.

00:11:15.456 --> 00:11:17.077
I do not have empathy in my top five.

00:11:17.118 --> 00:11:20.158
It's not my top five either.

00:11:20.178 --> 00:11:20.979
All right, let's skip through this.

00:11:21.038 --> 00:11:21.278
Hold on.

00:11:21.578 --> 00:11:23.139
Now let's go five to one.

00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:24.320
What are in your top five?

00:11:24.340 --> 00:11:25.160
And we'll give a brief

00:11:25.201 --> 00:11:26.260
breakdown of what those things are.

00:11:26.760 --> 00:11:28.442
Strategic is number one.

00:11:28.522 --> 00:11:28.721
Okay.

00:11:28.761 --> 00:11:30.702
And strategic falls under which...

00:11:31.849 --> 00:11:33.490
strategic thinking oh

00:11:33.551 --> 00:11:35.231
obviously okay good jimmy

00:11:35.251 --> 00:11:35.893
didn't pay attention that's

00:11:35.932 --> 00:11:37.153
a good pt characteristic

00:11:37.234 --> 00:11:38.235
it's a thing that helps you

00:11:38.254 --> 00:11:39.096
absorb and analyze

00:11:39.135 --> 00:11:40.677
information that helps make

00:11:40.777 --> 00:11:42.379
better decisions okay

00:11:42.438 --> 00:11:44.120
what's your number four my

00:11:44.139 --> 00:11:45.380
number or sorry number

00:11:45.461 --> 00:11:46.722
strategic was my number one

00:11:47.222 --> 00:11:49.044
oh okay and it says you

00:11:49.065 --> 00:11:50.326
create alternative ways to

00:11:50.365 --> 00:11:51.427
proceed faced with any

00:11:51.466 --> 00:11:52.648
given scenario you can

00:11:52.687 --> 00:11:53.908
quickly spot the relevant

00:11:53.948 --> 00:11:55.070
patterns and issues I think

00:11:55.110 --> 00:11:56.211
that's perfect for an edpt

00:11:58.164 --> 00:11:59.004
So I'm going to take that.

00:11:59.024 --> 00:11:59.105
Okay.

00:11:59.125 --> 00:12:00.426
Number two is activator.

00:12:00.485 --> 00:12:01.666
You can make things happen

00:12:01.686 --> 00:12:03.405
by turning thoughts into actions.

00:12:03.426 --> 00:12:05.006
You want to do things now

00:12:05.267 --> 00:12:06.746
rather than simply talk about them.

00:12:07.307 --> 00:12:07.586
Good.

00:12:07.787 --> 00:12:09.028
Cause talking about it's nice,

00:12:09.087 --> 00:12:10.067
but if we're not moving and

00:12:10.087 --> 00:12:12.168
not doing an activating on it, it's not,

00:12:12.389 --> 00:12:13.349
it's not kind of not worth it.

00:12:13.908 --> 00:12:14.269
Right.

00:12:14.729 --> 00:12:15.149
Input.

00:12:15.269 --> 00:12:17.090
You have a need to collect an archive.

00:12:17.110 --> 00:12:19.690
You may accumulate information, ideas,

00:12:19.769 --> 00:12:21.350
artifacts, or even relationships.

00:12:21.370 --> 00:12:22.211
So I'm a collector.

00:12:22.831 --> 00:12:23.130
Okay.

00:12:23.769 --> 00:12:24.609
of information I think

00:12:24.629 --> 00:12:25.850
that's why I read so much

00:12:26.610 --> 00:12:27.951
and I do feel like this is

00:12:27.971 --> 00:12:28.890
going to sound bad but I

00:12:28.931 --> 00:12:29.971
kind of feel like I collect

00:12:30.211 --> 00:12:31.912
people to a certain extent

00:12:32.072 --> 00:12:33.312
and build relationships in

00:12:33.352 --> 00:12:36.313
that way um and cultivate

00:12:36.974 --> 00:12:39.274
my network a little bit

00:12:39.294 --> 00:12:41.615
okay what's next this is

00:12:41.655 --> 00:12:42.515
not going to surprise you

00:12:42.556 --> 00:12:43.956
futuristic you're inspired

00:12:43.975 --> 00:12:44.836
by the future and what

00:12:44.897 --> 00:12:46.496
could be you energize

00:12:46.576 --> 00:12:48.217
others with your visions of the future

00:12:49.191 --> 00:12:50.993
So that's when I'm talking

00:12:51.013 --> 00:12:52.173
about top of scope, right?

00:12:52.214 --> 00:12:53.855
Like who we could be as a profession.

00:12:53.916 --> 00:12:54.876
Like that's definitely,

00:12:55.037 --> 00:12:56.437
I feel like a match for my top five.

00:12:56.958 --> 00:12:58.440
And then number five, achiever.

00:12:58.461 --> 00:12:59.642
You work hard and possess a

00:12:59.662 --> 00:13:00.783
great deal of stamina.

00:13:00.802 --> 00:13:01.484
You take immense

00:13:01.504 --> 00:13:02.884
satisfaction in being busy

00:13:02.924 --> 00:13:04.567
and productive.

00:13:04.667 --> 00:13:04.886
All right.

00:13:04.927 --> 00:13:07.909
So when you looked at these things, first,

00:13:07.970 --> 00:13:08.630
were they accurate?

00:13:08.650 --> 00:13:10.773
Were there any surprises on there?

00:13:10.793 --> 00:13:11.232
No, no.

00:13:12.432 --> 00:13:13.913
I think when you look at the full list,

00:13:13.972 --> 00:13:14.373
you're like, well,

00:13:14.413 --> 00:13:14.894
is that who I want to be?

00:13:14.913 --> 00:13:15.813
I mean, that's clearly who I am,

00:13:15.833 --> 00:13:16.274
but is that like,

00:13:16.294 --> 00:13:18.495
is that what I had hoped

00:13:18.556 --> 00:13:19.096
would be out on the list?

00:13:19.116 --> 00:13:20.937
I don't know.

00:13:20.977 --> 00:13:22.418
Well, supposedly I asked this too.

00:13:22.499 --> 00:13:24.841
I had Pam, Pam Bartlow.

00:13:25.181 --> 00:13:27.482
She's a professor at a school in Buffalo.

00:13:27.562 --> 00:13:28.623
I think she's a PT professor

00:13:28.682 --> 00:13:30.004
and she is like a certified

00:13:30.043 --> 00:13:32.125
strength finders coach.

00:13:32.166 --> 00:13:34.407
Like she's able to like now come in and,

00:13:34.868 --> 00:13:35.187
you know,

00:13:35.327 --> 00:13:36.208
work with a team or an

00:13:36.229 --> 00:13:36.989
organization about what do

00:13:37.009 --> 00:13:38.009
you do with this sort of thing?

00:13:38.450 --> 00:13:39.291
And I said, well,

00:13:40.168 --> 00:13:41.969
can these change, you know,

00:13:42.009 --> 00:13:42.708
like over time?

00:13:42.749 --> 00:13:44.250
And she's like, generally, no.

00:13:44.710 --> 00:13:45.009
She said,

00:13:45.410 --> 00:13:47.672
I think she said it happened once,

00:13:48.192 --> 00:13:49.113
but it was when that person

00:13:49.153 --> 00:13:50.192
went through a monumental

00:13:50.273 --> 00:13:52.274
life change and that person

00:13:52.333 --> 00:13:53.235
had had a child.

00:13:53.254 --> 00:13:55.416
It was a male and they had a baby.

00:13:55.436 --> 00:13:57.317
And he's like, now things have shifted.

00:13:58.356 --> 00:14:00.298
But it's also, it's a subjective, you know,

00:14:00.378 --> 00:14:00.697
test.

00:14:00.717 --> 00:14:01.298
You're answering these

00:14:01.339 --> 00:14:02.219
questions and then it's

00:14:02.418 --> 00:14:04.480
sort of analyzing you.

00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:05.640
Well, my number thirty-four,

00:14:05.660 --> 00:14:07.601
my worst one is consistency.

00:14:09.082 --> 00:14:09.403
Okay.

00:14:09.643 --> 00:14:09.883
Yeah.

00:14:11.140 --> 00:14:12.121
you know, see,

00:14:12.142 --> 00:14:13.001
I didn't pay for everything.

00:14:13.042 --> 00:14:13.982
I just know my top five.

00:14:14.003 --> 00:14:14.682
Cause I was like, give me the,

00:14:14.802 --> 00:14:16.104
give me the highlights and I'll move on.

00:14:16.524 --> 00:14:18.065
Well, I'm the girl that likes horoscopes.

00:14:18.085 --> 00:14:19.426
So you can give me something like this.

00:14:19.466 --> 00:14:20.885
This is like a cosmopolitan

00:14:20.927 --> 00:14:21.787
personality quiz.

00:14:21.826 --> 00:14:22.727
And I used to do those when

00:14:22.788 --> 00:14:24.048
I was a teenager in the nineties.

00:14:24.087 --> 00:14:24.489
So, you know,

00:14:24.548 --> 00:14:25.668
I'm going to go all in on this.

00:14:25.688 --> 00:14:26.350
All right.

00:14:26.370 --> 00:14:28.191
So now that you know, your top five,

00:14:29.171 --> 00:14:31.412
has it changed how you approach things?

00:14:31.432 --> 00:14:33.354
Has it changed how you treat yourself?

00:14:33.394 --> 00:14:35.794
Has it changed how you anything?

00:14:36.772 --> 00:14:36.912
Well,

00:14:36.951 --> 00:14:38.751
what I like about it is it gives you

00:14:38.812 --> 00:14:41.072
like bigger things about

00:14:41.352 --> 00:14:43.592
why each of those strengths

00:14:43.633 --> 00:14:45.274
is a good thing and how to leverage them.

00:14:45.533 --> 00:14:46.634
So I think that's actually

00:14:46.653 --> 00:14:47.693
the most helpful part.

00:14:48.234 --> 00:14:52.034
Like to tell you like, this is your skill.

00:14:52.075 --> 00:14:52.254
Like,

00:14:52.315 --> 00:14:53.635
why are you trying to do things this

00:14:53.655 --> 00:14:55.056
way when you can use your

00:14:55.076 --> 00:14:56.316
talents to do this?

00:14:56.416 --> 00:14:57.355
And so I think that was

00:14:57.416 --> 00:15:00.157
really the more helpful piece of it.

00:15:01.216 --> 00:15:03.618
And it also tells you about blind spots.

00:15:04.197 --> 00:15:05.077
Okay, look, tell me about that.

00:15:05.700 --> 00:15:07.402
So this says watch out for blind spots.

00:15:07.422 --> 00:15:08.643
So this is under strategic.

00:15:08.763 --> 00:15:09.803
When working with others,

00:15:09.844 --> 00:15:10.725
sometimes they may

00:15:10.764 --> 00:15:12.086
misinterpret your strong

00:15:12.166 --> 00:15:13.427
strategic challenge or

00:15:13.466 --> 00:15:14.849
talents as criticism.

00:15:15.629 --> 00:15:16.529
Be mindful of what is

00:15:16.710 --> 00:15:18.030
already working well and

00:15:18.051 --> 00:15:19.293
what others have accomplished.

00:15:19.773 --> 00:15:20.734
Because you evaluate

00:15:20.774 --> 00:15:22.154
patterns and pathways quickly,

00:15:22.335 --> 00:15:23.155
others may find it

00:15:23.196 --> 00:15:24.317
difficult to follow or

00:15:24.356 --> 00:15:25.678
understand your thought process.

00:15:25.739 --> 00:15:26.799
Be aware that you might have

00:15:26.820 --> 00:15:28.441
to backtrack to explain how

00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:29.201
you get where you are.

00:15:29.628 --> 00:15:32.808
This is in my opinion is

00:15:32.869 --> 00:15:34.330
actually where the value of

00:15:34.929 --> 00:15:37.150
these tests come in.

00:15:37.171 --> 00:15:37.890
Because, again,

00:15:37.990 --> 00:15:39.511
I think it's like a horoscope.

00:15:39.591 --> 00:15:41.592
It's the Cosmo, you know,

00:15:41.732 --> 00:15:43.653
which friend's character are you?

00:15:43.693 --> 00:15:44.134
It's cute.

00:15:44.594 --> 00:15:45.214
It's nice.

00:15:45.594 --> 00:15:46.914
It's a good self-reflection.

00:15:47.294 --> 00:15:48.274
Where I think the power

00:15:48.335 --> 00:15:52.076
comes in is how do I relate to others?

00:15:53.636 --> 00:15:54.717
Was your PT program

00:15:54.758 --> 00:15:55.538
problem-based learning?

00:15:55.557 --> 00:15:57.219
I don't know.

00:15:57.929 --> 00:15:58.711
did you do a lot of small

00:15:58.750 --> 00:16:00.130
groups like a tutorial?

00:16:00.150 --> 00:16:00.951
Okay.

00:16:00.971 --> 00:16:01.913
So probably it was at least

00:16:01.972 --> 00:16:02.873
some problem-based learning.

00:16:03.754 --> 00:16:04.514
I went to a,

00:16:04.855 --> 00:16:06.275
we had an individual interview

00:16:06.336 --> 00:16:08.136
and a group interview for

00:16:08.177 --> 00:16:09.116
Marymount university where

00:16:09.136 --> 00:16:10.057
I eventually wound up going.

00:16:10.739 --> 00:16:11.578
And the minute they put us

00:16:11.599 --> 00:16:12.500
in a group interview and

00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:14.221
they gave us a scenario and

00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:16.562
there was a proctor there who was an alum,

00:16:16.682 --> 00:16:16.842
right?

00:16:16.883 --> 00:16:18.844
Probably the second they did that,

00:16:19.144 --> 00:16:19.524
I was like,

00:16:19.804 --> 00:16:20.904
I understand what the game is.

00:16:20.965 --> 00:16:22.245
The game is not the scenario.

00:16:22.346 --> 00:16:23.486
The game is how do you treat

00:16:23.506 --> 00:16:25.368
the other people in the scenario?

00:16:25.548 --> 00:16:25.788
Right?

00:16:25.808 --> 00:16:27.429
So once I figured that out, I was able to,

00:16:28.190 --> 00:16:29.571
For lack of a better term game the system,

00:16:29.610 --> 00:16:30.130
but I was, you know,

00:16:30.150 --> 00:16:31.451
that the game was figuring

00:16:31.471 --> 00:16:33.013
out the game and we did that quickly.

00:16:33.933 --> 00:16:34.994
And I think that was good

00:16:35.033 --> 00:16:36.634
because doing the thing

00:16:36.655 --> 00:16:37.596
that you're going to spend

00:16:37.796 --> 00:16:39.397
a lot of time doing in the

00:16:39.437 --> 00:16:40.998
interview when you're in PT

00:16:41.018 --> 00:16:43.039
school is probably a good idea, but

00:16:43.899 --> 00:16:45.039
People who don't have the

00:16:45.059 --> 00:16:46.201
ability to do those things,

00:16:46.500 --> 00:16:48.160
it's not easy.

00:16:48.441 --> 00:16:51.601
So understanding this, okay,

00:16:51.642 --> 00:16:52.881
this person's a little shy,

00:16:52.922 --> 00:16:54.082
but I want to look good.

00:16:54.442 --> 00:16:55.003
I'm wooing.

00:16:55.043 --> 00:16:56.302
I'm trying to win over everybody,

00:16:56.363 --> 00:16:57.183
including the proctor.

00:16:57.543 --> 00:16:58.384
I'm going to pass the ball

00:16:58.403 --> 00:17:00.825
to this person across the table for me,

00:17:01.164 --> 00:17:02.304
and then I'm going to bring back this,

00:17:02.345 --> 00:17:02.965
and I'm going to take the

00:17:03.004 --> 00:17:04.164
person who's overly trying

00:17:04.184 --> 00:17:05.665
to win the game, which is not me,

00:17:06.306 --> 00:17:07.627
And I'm going to acknowledge them,

00:17:07.667 --> 00:17:08.448
but try to get them to tamp

00:17:08.488 --> 00:17:10.750
it down without telling them to shut up.

00:17:11.250 --> 00:17:13.453
So it is, you know, and we do this,

00:17:13.534 --> 00:17:15.375
I think we do this innately in life.

00:17:15.556 --> 00:17:16.396
We try to figure out where

00:17:16.416 --> 00:17:17.438
we are and what's needed,

00:17:17.557 --> 00:17:18.439
as we mentioned in the

00:17:18.479 --> 00:17:20.181
beginning of this conversation.

00:17:20.963 --> 00:17:21.163
Yeah,

00:17:21.243 --> 00:17:22.765
and there's just so many pieces in

00:17:22.805 --> 00:17:23.846
here that are helpful too

00:17:23.925 --> 00:17:25.767
if you like apply it to patient care.

00:17:26.807 --> 00:17:28.288
Like one of these things in

00:17:28.348 --> 00:17:29.689
here for the activator,

00:17:29.769 --> 00:17:30.950
it says it's very likely

00:17:30.970 --> 00:17:32.611
you excel as a solo performer.

00:17:32.631 --> 00:17:34.532
You're quite eager to start new projects,

00:17:34.573 --> 00:17:35.613
jobs, and assignments.

00:17:36.173 --> 00:17:37.653
People who cause delays

00:17:37.855 --> 00:17:39.435
undoubtedly frustrate you

00:17:40.556 --> 00:17:41.416
and they don't understand

00:17:41.436 --> 00:17:42.277
your need to make progress.

00:17:42.317 --> 00:17:45.439
So I like seeing patients one time.

00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:47.019
Oh,

00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:49.402
so in the ED is right down your middle.

00:17:50.028 --> 00:17:50.429
Right.

00:17:50.549 --> 00:17:52.530
Because like it's just by nature,

00:17:52.550 --> 00:17:53.531
you motivate people.

00:17:53.592 --> 00:17:54.874
So if I can motivate those

00:17:54.894 --> 00:17:55.794
patients and then send them

00:17:55.814 --> 00:17:56.494
on to the next step,

00:17:56.515 --> 00:17:57.276
then I'm not going to get

00:17:57.336 --> 00:17:58.477
frustrated if they're not

00:17:58.517 --> 00:17:59.857
doing their plan, if they're not,

00:17:59.917 --> 00:18:00.858
if they're progressing on

00:18:00.878 --> 00:18:02.601
their timeline and not my timeline,

00:18:03.121 --> 00:18:04.843
like urgency is my timeline.

00:18:04.923 --> 00:18:06.865
Like let's, let's look at you,

00:18:06.884 --> 00:18:07.845
let's get you going and

00:18:07.865 --> 00:18:10.106
let's like move on to the next thing.

00:18:10.127 --> 00:18:10.407
Yeah.

00:18:11.969 --> 00:18:13.628
The novelty of what I do

00:18:13.969 --> 00:18:18.029
fits so well with what's here also.

00:18:18.530 --> 00:18:21.050
And like my need to look at

00:18:21.070 --> 00:18:23.372
like QI stuff wherever I am,

00:18:23.491 --> 00:18:24.791
I think it's part of this as well.

00:18:24.912 --> 00:18:26.592
Quality improvement, like really,

00:18:27.112 --> 00:18:28.553
how could we be doing this better?

00:18:28.692 --> 00:18:30.073
Can we do this differently?

00:18:30.593 --> 00:18:30.932
And like,

00:18:31.053 --> 00:18:33.193
I can't be in the same place over

00:18:33.213 --> 00:18:33.814
and over again.

00:18:33.834 --> 00:18:35.554
Yeah.

00:18:35.594 --> 00:18:36.694
Maybe I should have been in the ED.

00:18:36.855 --> 00:18:37.494
I would have stuck around

00:18:37.555 --> 00:18:38.355
clinical care longer.

00:18:39.500 --> 00:18:40.019
Yeah,

00:18:40.259 --> 00:18:41.681
and sometimes you might charge ahead

00:18:41.701 --> 00:18:44.502
and act without a solid plan.

00:18:44.522 --> 00:18:45.603
Sometimes that's a good idea though.

00:18:47.243 --> 00:18:50.826
Inaction, indecision is a decision.

00:18:50.846 --> 00:18:52.547
You have decided not to act.

00:18:52.967 --> 00:18:54.248
And I know it feels safe.

00:18:54.307 --> 00:18:55.387
I use this all the time.

00:18:56.189 --> 00:18:59.069
Where I know I'm more of a ready, fire,

00:18:59.210 --> 00:18:59.970
aim kind of person.

00:19:00.009 --> 00:19:01.070
And that can get me in trouble.

00:19:01.411 --> 00:19:05.413
It can also help me win though.

00:19:05.512 --> 00:19:06.693
But if you were a patient...

00:19:07.682 --> 00:19:08.962
Like which strength would

00:19:08.982 --> 00:19:11.943
you want your PT to have be number one?

00:19:12.463 --> 00:19:14.025
Oh, see, I don't know all of them.

00:19:14.204 --> 00:19:14.825
I guess.

00:19:19.866 --> 00:19:20.527
I don't know.

00:19:20.547 --> 00:19:21.307
Cause I don't really need

00:19:21.346 --> 00:19:22.708
somebody who has a ton of empathy.

00:19:22.827 --> 00:19:23.587
I need somebody who's going

00:19:23.607 --> 00:19:24.509
to drive me into the ground.

00:19:24.669 --> 00:19:25.388
Yeah.

00:19:25.548 --> 00:19:25.749
I mean,

00:19:25.788 --> 00:19:27.029
you want the empathy cause you want

00:19:27.069 --> 00:19:27.950
them to be able to take

00:19:28.329 --> 00:19:29.530
what they're seeing and say, okay,

00:19:29.550 --> 00:19:30.750
I understand what's going on here, but,

00:19:30.871 --> 00:19:32.771
but then yes, I, so yeah,

00:19:32.872 --> 00:19:33.811
I'm sort of like people who

00:19:33.852 --> 00:19:34.833
lay out a plan for me.

00:19:35.851 --> 00:19:36.751
I'm like, I didn't follow it.

00:19:36.852 --> 00:19:38.313
Give me, I mean, yeah, I was an athlete.

00:19:38.373 --> 00:19:40.295
Like I love playing for coaches.

00:19:40.315 --> 00:19:41.756
I was like, if you give me a plan,

00:19:42.356 --> 00:19:43.156
tell me like the three

00:19:43.178 --> 00:19:43.817
things I need to do.

00:19:43.877 --> 00:19:45.118
Don't give me thirty three things.

00:19:45.239 --> 00:19:46.279
Give me three that I need to

00:19:46.299 --> 00:19:47.862
do every single shift or

00:19:47.882 --> 00:19:50.203
every single inning or every single race.

00:19:50.243 --> 00:19:51.704
Like and I will do those three things.

00:19:51.785 --> 00:19:53.205
So I like people who can break things down,

00:19:53.266 --> 00:19:53.686
I guess.

00:19:54.768 --> 00:19:55.248
Yeah.

00:19:55.268 --> 00:19:55.888
What would that be?

00:19:56.189 --> 00:19:56.910
Because I don't know all the

00:19:56.930 --> 00:19:57.670
other strengths on the.

00:19:57.710 --> 00:19:58.030
Let's see.

00:19:58.090 --> 00:20:02.775
I would think.

00:20:05.556 --> 00:20:09.981
Maybe maybe the analytical

00:20:10.021 --> 00:20:11.363
person or the arranger.

00:20:12.003 --> 00:20:12.805
What's the arranger again?

00:20:13.766 --> 00:20:15.228
I don't know if I have that

00:20:15.327 --> 00:20:18.111
one like all spelled out on my list here.

00:20:18.151 --> 00:20:18.250
Well,

00:20:18.270 --> 00:20:19.492
it sounds like someone who arranges

00:20:19.532 --> 00:20:20.673
things and I'm just that's

00:20:20.693 --> 00:20:21.734
just me being analytical.

00:20:22.576 --> 00:20:23.017
Yeah.

00:20:23.847 --> 00:20:24.028
All right,

00:20:24.048 --> 00:20:25.169
do you wanna hear my top five to

00:20:25.189 --> 00:20:26.229
see if there's any surprises?

00:20:26.249 --> 00:20:27.630
I do.

00:20:27.650 --> 00:20:27.950
Okay,

00:20:28.210 --> 00:20:31.511
my top five are Gallup Strength Finders.

00:20:31.711 --> 00:20:32.893
I'll go from five to one.

00:20:33.373 --> 00:20:35.173
My number five falls in that

00:20:35.193 --> 00:20:37.154
relationship building pillar,

00:20:37.194 --> 00:20:39.195
which is themes that help

00:20:39.215 --> 00:20:39.816
you build strong

00:20:39.855 --> 00:20:41.457
relationships that hold a team together.

00:20:41.757 --> 00:20:44.439
So my number five is individualization.

00:20:45.463 --> 00:20:46.723
I'm intrigued by the unique

00:20:46.763 --> 00:20:48.085
qualities of each person,

00:20:48.585 --> 00:20:49.644
but I'm impatient with

00:20:49.704 --> 00:20:51.125
generalizations or types

00:20:51.605 --> 00:20:52.185
because I don't want to

00:20:52.226 --> 00:20:53.306
obscure what's special and

00:20:53.326 --> 00:20:54.986
distinct about each person.

00:20:55.066 --> 00:20:56.386
So this is where I got

00:20:56.426 --> 00:20:57.666
yelled at as a PT student

00:20:57.707 --> 00:20:58.767
with my clinical instructors.

00:20:58.906 --> 00:20:59.606
Cause they're like,

00:20:59.646 --> 00:21:00.407
why are you spending so

00:21:00.428 --> 00:21:01.667
much time talking to these people?

00:21:01.728 --> 00:21:02.147
And I'm like,

00:21:02.968 --> 00:21:05.808
aren't you just curious about them?

00:21:05.969 --> 00:21:07.709
And they're like, move it along chief.

00:21:07.788 --> 00:21:08.229
And I'm like,

00:21:08.349 --> 00:21:09.809
this is nails on a chalkboard to me.

00:21:09.890 --> 00:21:10.670
I didn't want to move it along.

00:21:10.690 --> 00:21:13.770
I got that in my fellowship too, just now.

00:21:13.810 --> 00:21:14.230
Did you really?

00:21:14.310 --> 00:21:14.411
Yeah.

00:21:14.775 --> 00:21:15.214
Yeah.

00:21:15.255 --> 00:21:16.256
Like you're doing a great

00:21:16.276 --> 00:21:17.396
job connecting with the patients,

00:21:17.416 --> 00:21:18.696
but you gotta, you gotta move it.

00:21:18.717 --> 00:21:22.940
And I'm like, do I do you though?

00:21:23.059 --> 00:21:23.701
That's my question.

00:21:23.740 --> 00:21:24.040
Or like,

00:21:24.401 --> 00:21:25.741
what if we didn't get to the thing?

00:21:25.942 --> 00:21:27.143
I'll give you an example of

00:21:27.182 --> 00:21:28.864
where doing that helped my

00:21:28.923 --> 00:21:30.184
last clinical rotation.

00:21:30.525 --> 00:21:31.965
I had a good CI who was sort of like,

00:21:31.986 --> 00:21:32.365
do your thing, man.

00:21:32.385 --> 00:21:33.146
You're going to graduate in

00:21:33.166 --> 00:21:33.747
like three months.

00:21:33.787 --> 00:21:34.386
Like, you know,

00:21:34.487 --> 00:21:35.548
you're as close to on your

00:21:35.587 --> 00:21:36.188
own as you're going to get.

00:21:36.949 --> 00:21:38.210
She saw someone come up on

00:21:38.549 --> 00:21:40.891
my calendar on my schedule and was like,

00:21:41.471 --> 00:21:42.672
Oh, little background on her.

00:21:43.665 --> 00:21:44.507
frequent flyer.

00:21:44.606 --> 00:21:47.089
She comes in every six, eight months.

00:21:47.410 --> 00:21:48.632
I've never been able to help.

00:21:48.791 --> 00:21:49.512
Maybe you can.

00:21:49.573 --> 00:21:50.173
Different approach.

00:21:50.292 --> 00:21:50.534
Okay.

00:21:51.738 --> 00:21:52.438
Balance issues.

00:21:52.998 --> 00:21:53.878
That's super vague.

00:21:54.019 --> 00:21:54.759
I don't know what that means.

00:21:54.778 --> 00:21:55.798
That could be a billion things.

00:21:56.460 --> 00:21:58.019
So I'm like, we were attached to a gym.

00:21:58.039 --> 00:21:59.240
So I was like, let's go walk.

00:21:59.259 --> 00:22:00.040
I want to see you walk.

00:22:00.320 --> 00:22:01.800
So I wanted to walk outside.

00:22:01.901 --> 00:22:03.561
It was like a strip mall sort of vibe.

00:22:03.582 --> 00:22:04.902
So I was like, treadmill.

00:22:04.961 --> 00:22:05.541
Let's do a treadmill.

00:22:05.843 --> 00:22:07.143
So we're watching a walk on a treadmill.

00:22:07.542 --> 00:22:08.722
But now you're standing there awkwardly.

00:22:08.742 --> 00:22:09.284
So what do you do when

00:22:09.304 --> 00:22:10.183
someone's walking on a treadmill?

00:22:10.203 --> 00:22:10.784
You're standing there.

00:22:11.003 --> 00:22:11.683
You talk to them.

00:22:11.984 --> 00:22:12.644
I'm like, this is great.

00:22:13.224 --> 00:22:14.444
Now the focus isn't talking.

00:22:14.505 --> 00:22:15.685
Now the focus is walking.

00:22:16.006 --> 00:22:16.905
And this is the thing that's

00:22:16.925 --> 00:22:17.566
distracting you.

00:22:18.046 --> 00:22:19.207
Well, ten minutes in,

00:22:20.540 --> 00:22:21.761
think I asked like what do

00:22:21.781 --> 00:22:23.522
you think is the balance

00:22:23.563 --> 00:22:24.202
issues because she

00:22:24.242 --> 00:22:25.103
described the balance

00:22:25.143 --> 00:22:26.104
issues and they were still

00:22:26.144 --> 00:22:27.044
vague there was nothing

00:22:27.084 --> 00:22:29.444
there and she's like I and

00:22:29.806 --> 00:22:30.625
she's she's like I don't

00:22:30.665 --> 00:22:31.546
really know and a minute

00:22:31.566 --> 00:22:32.467
later I let there be some

00:22:32.547 --> 00:22:33.988
pause I do shut up every

00:22:34.048 --> 00:22:35.248
once in a while let there

00:22:35.288 --> 00:22:36.288
be some silence and she

00:22:36.368 --> 00:22:38.390
said I drink about a six

00:22:38.430 --> 00:22:39.789
pack a day do you think

00:22:40.090 --> 00:22:42.372
that would have an effect on my balance

00:22:43.092 --> 00:22:45.776
And, uh, and I was smart enough to say,

00:22:45.856 --> 00:22:46.557
hang on a second.

00:22:46.758 --> 00:22:47.578
We have got a thread.

00:22:47.920 --> 00:22:49.823
Let's pull this, but don't yank it.

00:22:49.942 --> 00:22:51.164
Let's just let it go.

00:22:51.665 --> 00:22:52.527
And I said, what do you,

00:22:52.886 --> 00:22:53.548
what do you think?

00:22:53.808 --> 00:22:54.710
Do you think that might

00:22:54.809 --> 00:22:55.632
affect your balance?

00:22:56.373 --> 00:22:58.015
And she's like, I think it probably does.

00:22:58.135 --> 00:22:58.415
And I'm like,

00:22:59.028 --> 00:23:01.328
And now we're onto something.

00:23:01.709 --> 00:23:02.648
And then I found out her

00:23:02.689 --> 00:23:04.069
daughter just had a baby.

00:23:04.630 --> 00:23:05.971
So now she has a grandchild,

00:23:06.211 --> 00:23:07.090
but the daughter doesn't

00:23:07.111 --> 00:23:07.631
want her around the

00:23:07.651 --> 00:23:08.711
grandchild if she's gonna

00:23:08.751 --> 00:23:10.332
be intoxicated frequently.

00:23:10.632 --> 00:23:12.292
So now we have a problem

00:23:12.313 --> 00:23:13.834
that she understands and we

00:23:13.874 --> 00:23:14.973
have a motivation.

00:23:15.753 --> 00:23:17.355
Getting better is super vague.

00:23:18.057 --> 00:23:20.259
holding the baby is tangible.

00:23:20.700 --> 00:23:21.200
And I was like,

00:23:21.339 --> 00:23:23.201
everything in my brain was like, whoop,

00:23:23.241 --> 00:23:23.741
whoop, whoop.

00:23:23.781 --> 00:23:24.603
This is great.

00:23:24.663 --> 00:23:26.364
I can't, I can't believe this.

00:23:27.384 --> 00:23:28.025
You wouldn't have gotten

00:23:28.045 --> 00:23:30.226
that in three minutes of a subjective.

00:23:30.567 --> 00:23:31.027
I'm sorry.

00:23:31.047 --> 00:23:32.147
You wouldn't, you wouldn't.

00:23:33.362 --> 00:23:34.403
I had a patient who was

00:23:34.702 --> 00:23:35.863
eighty something and I said,

00:23:35.883 --> 00:23:37.384
why do you think you keep falling?

00:23:37.403 --> 00:23:37.624
She's like,

00:23:37.644 --> 00:23:38.704
it's probably the seven shots

00:23:38.744 --> 00:23:39.845
of tequila I have while I'm

00:23:39.865 --> 00:23:40.645
watching my shows.

00:23:40.665 --> 00:23:42.185
I was like, cool,

00:23:42.205 --> 00:23:43.166
let's watch the shows in

00:23:43.227 --> 00:23:45.028
bed and we'll get you a bedside commode.

00:23:45.048 --> 00:23:45.928
She's like, great.

00:23:45.988 --> 00:23:47.009
That sounds perfect.

00:23:47.028 --> 00:23:47.608
She's eighty five.

00:23:47.669 --> 00:23:48.410
She's not going to change

00:23:48.430 --> 00:23:49.049
what she's doing.

00:23:49.130 --> 00:23:49.829
She makes her happy.

00:23:50.631 --> 00:23:52.612
But when I was on my fellowship rotation,

00:23:52.672 --> 00:23:53.511
I was in a completely

00:23:53.551 --> 00:23:54.913
different state even.

00:23:55.032 --> 00:23:56.233
And I went and I was working

00:23:56.253 --> 00:23:56.993
with this patient who had

00:23:57.013 --> 00:23:58.894
been coming in over and over again.

00:23:59.494 --> 00:24:02.696
And he just said, I want to tell you about

00:24:03.836 --> 00:24:05.298
something that happened to me at work.

00:24:06.117 --> 00:24:07.679
And this guy's been not able

00:24:07.699 --> 00:24:10.140
to get back to work for a

00:24:10.180 --> 00:24:11.080
really long time.

00:24:12.040 --> 00:24:16.063
And he was in a really like

00:24:16.163 --> 00:24:18.243
first responder kind of profession.

00:24:18.564 --> 00:24:20.384
And he told me the most

00:24:20.424 --> 00:24:21.826
traumatic thing he's ever

00:24:21.865 --> 00:24:23.125
experienced in patient care.

00:24:24.227 --> 00:24:27.647
And I can see why he doesn't

00:24:27.689 --> 00:24:28.588
want to go back to work.

00:24:29.740 --> 00:24:31.721
Like his is not progressing.

00:24:31.741 --> 00:24:32.843
Like his medical condition

00:24:32.903 --> 00:24:33.863
is not progressing.

00:24:34.644 --> 00:24:34.983
And I said,

00:24:35.023 --> 00:24:37.244
do you feel like you want to go

00:24:37.285 --> 00:24:38.145
back to that?

00:24:38.226 --> 00:24:38.726
And he's like,

00:24:38.826 --> 00:24:40.106
I can still feel this

00:24:40.166 --> 00:24:43.148
person's head in my hands.

00:24:43.288 --> 00:24:44.710
And I won't share like how

00:24:45.130 --> 00:24:46.411
graphic and awful it really

00:24:46.431 --> 00:24:47.990
was because was,

00:24:48.652 --> 00:24:50.673
I'm now holding part of that for him.

00:24:51.554 --> 00:24:52.814
Um,

00:24:52.834 --> 00:24:54.335
but he gave me a hug at the end and he

00:24:54.355 --> 00:24:55.715
was like, I need to talk to somebody.

00:24:56.527 --> 00:24:57.708
They said, you do.

00:24:57.867 --> 00:24:59.028
And I think that needs to be

00:24:59.068 --> 00:25:01.049
part of your recovery process here.

00:25:01.069 --> 00:25:02.009
And he's like,

00:25:02.089 --> 00:25:02.971
I don't know why you were

00:25:03.010 --> 00:25:04.531
the one that I needed to tell this,

00:25:04.592 --> 00:25:06.053
but you are the one that I

00:25:06.093 --> 00:25:07.874
felt like could hold it for me.

00:25:08.413 --> 00:25:10.415
And I was like, yeah, I'll help you hold,

00:25:10.855 --> 00:25:13.017
hold this person's head for you.

00:25:13.076 --> 00:25:14.198
Like I'll hold it with you.

00:25:14.897 --> 00:25:16.679
And I think if you are like

00:25:16.719 --> 00:25:18.240
constantly moving it along

00:25:18.299 --> 00:25:19.480
so that we can get you onto

00:25:19.520 --> 00:25:21.481
the leg press.

00:25:21.501 --> 00:25:22.282
You're missing a lot.

00:25:22.915 --> 00:25:24.438
right because is he gonna

00:25:24.458 --> 00:25:25.358
progress to the point where

00:25:25.378 --> 00:25:26.259
he can truly get back to

00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:27.801
work now there are some

00:25:27.842 --> 00:25:29.763
people it's just it's

00:25:29.784 --> 00:25:30.484
there's some people it's

00:25:30.505 --> 00:25:32.626
just a hip issue man yeah

00:25:32.646 --> 00:25:33.548
like I'm not just counting

00:25:33.568 --> 00:25:34.569
that but that person has a

00:25:34.589 --> 00:25:35.351
lot going on in their life

00:25:35.371 --> 00:25:37.192
but this isn't a thread to

00:25:37.252 --> 00:25:38.394
everything so I don't want

00:25:38.433 --> 00:25:39.174
someone out there saying

00:25:39.214 --> 00:25:39.875
like well jimmy needs to

00:25:39.895 --> 00:25:41.136
talk to people for sixty

00:25:41.176 --> 00:25:42.358
five minutes to figure out no

00:25:44.718 --> 00:25:46.680
But it's hard.

00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:47.259
How do you?

00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:47.580
Yeah.

00:25:47.780 --> 00:25:47.881
Yeah.

00:25:47.901 --> 00:25:48.480
You got to read the room.

00:25:48.842 --> 00:25:50.002
Maybe that's an analytical thing.

00:25:50.042 --> 00:25:51.183
Maybe that's probably one of those things.

00:25:51.203 --> 00:25:51.564
All right.

00:25:51.584 --> 00:25:52.325
So that's my number five.

00:25:52.345 --> 00:25:53.526
That's individualization.

00:25:54.346 --> 00:25:55.106
Number four.

00:25:55.406 --> 00:25:56.188
This is what I thought would

00:25:56.208 --> 00:25:57.930
be my number one because I

00:25:57.970 --> 00:25:58.869
have a degree in it,

00:25:59.471 --> 00:26:00.271
which is communication.

00:26:01.396 --> 00:26:02.676
So communication falls under

00:26:03.297 --> 00:26:04.617
the pillar of influencing.

00:26:05.198 --> 00:26:06.617
Themes that help you take charge,

00:26:06.637 --> 00:26:08.317
speak up and make sure others are heard.

00:26:08.357 --> 00:26:10.878
Communication, you like to explain, shock.

00:26:11.078 --> 00:26:12.699
To describe, shocking.

00:26:12.959 --> 00:26:14.199
To host, shock.

00:26:14.338 --> 00:26:16.940
To speak in public and to write.

00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:18.380
To speak in public, to write a little bit,

00:26:18.420 --> 00:26:18.619
right?

00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:20.920
This is your communication theme at work.

00:26:21.019 --> 00:26:22.661
Ideas are a dry beginning.

00:26:22.740 --> 00:26:23.580
Events are static.

00:26:23.641 --> 00:26:25.020
You feel you need to bring them to life,

00:26:25.040 --> 00:26:25.740
to energize them,

00:26:25.780 --> 00:26:26.961
to make them exciting and vivid.

00:26:27.621 --> 00:26:28.541
This was not a shock to me.

00:26:28.561 --> 00:26:30.481
I can't believe it's number four though.

00:26:30.942 --> 00:26:31.942
It's number four.

00:26:32.103 --> 00:26:33.483
That was the biggest shock

00:26:33.503 --> 00:26:34.523
because I was like, wow.

00:26:34.544 --> 00:26:35.805
And as soon as I got to that one,

00:26:35.845 --> 00:26:37.605
I was like, then what the hell are three,

00:26:37.625 --> 00:26:39.166
two, one?

00:26:39.247 --> 00:26:40.607
Yeah, it's number seven for me.

00:26:40.667 --> 00:26:41.788
So it's in my top ten,

00:26:41.848 --> 00:26:45.171
but I'm surprised it's four for you.

00:26:45.250 --> 00:26:45.730
Number four.

00:26:46.371 --> 00:26:48.553
Number three also falls in

00:26:48.573 --> 00:26:50.374
that same pillar of influencing is woo.

00:26:50.733 --> 00:26:52.015
And I never realized that

00:26:52.115 --> 00:26:54.036
woo is an acronym and it

00:26:54.076 --> 00:26:55.777
stands for winning others over.

00:26:55.797 --> 00:26:57.298
What?

00:26:57.317 --> 00:26:58.298
That's what it says here.

00:26:58.659 --> 00:27:00.279
I was like, that's what woo means?

00:27:01.960 --> 00:27:02.441
Um,

00:27:02.461 --> 00:27:03.682
you enjoy the challenge of meeting new

00:27:03.721 --> 00:27:04.762
people and getting them to

00:27:04.843 --> 00:27:06.766
like you challenge.

00:27:07.165 --> 00:27:07.846
Strangers are rarely

00:27:07.886 --> 00:27:09.388
intimidating on the contrary.

00:27:09.729 --> 00:27:10.911
Strangers can be energizing.

00:27:10.951 --> 00:27:11.811
You're drawn to them.

00:27:12.332 --> 00:27:14.255
You want to, uh, learn their names,

00:27:14.335 --> 00:27:15.256
asking questions and find

00:27:15.296 --> 00:27:16.257
some area of common interest.

00:27:16.277 --> 00:27:16.877
So you can strike up a

00:27:16.897 --> 00:27:17.939
conversation and build rapport.

00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:19.840
Not a shock.

00:27:20.561 --> 00:27:20.602
No.

00:27:22.730 --> 00:27:24.291
So that's number three.

00:27:25.092 --> 00:27:28.373
Now, this is the biggest shock though now,

00:27:28.913 --> 00:27:29.973
is my number two and my

00:27:29.993 --> 00:27:31.513
number one both fall in

00:27:31.554 --> 00:27:34.075
strategic thinking pillar.

00:27:34.635 --> 00:27:35.976
Those are themes that help you absorb,

00:27:36.056 --> 00:27:37.076
analyze information that

00:27:37.116 --> 00:27:38.317
inform better decisions.

00:27:38.557 --> 00:27:39.537
I would not think I am a

00:27:39.577 --> 00:27:42.999
strategic analyzer type person.

00:27:44.510 --> 00:27:44.911
I don't know.

00:27:44.990 --> 00:27:45.230
To me,

00:27:45.250 --> 00:27:47.832
like analyzing sounds too spreadsheety.

00:27:47.991 --> 00:27:48.852
And I'm like, I don't do that.

00:27:48.892 --> 00:27:49.511
I grip and rip.

00:27:50.393 --> 00:27:51.413
But my number two and my

00:27:51.452 --> 00:27:52.133
number one are both in

00:27:52.153 --> 00:27:52.853
strategic thinking.

00:27:53.153 --> 00:27:54.453
Two is ideation.

00:27:54.673 --> 00:27:55.693
And then once you say it, you're like,

00:27:55.713 --> 00:27:56.334
well, that makes sense.

00:27:56.354 --> 00:27:58.494
So ideation, you're fascinated by ideas.

00:27:58.954 --> 00:27:59.595
What's an idea?

00:27:59.674 --> 00:28:00.355
It's a concept,

00:28:00.395 --> 00:28:02.895
the best explanation of the

00:28:02.955 --> 00:28:05.936
most... An idea is a concept,

00:28:06.037 --> 00:28:08.258
the best explanation of the most events.

00:28:08.377 --> 00:28:08.657
I don't know.

00:28:08.698 --> 00:28:09.417
That's a weird sentence.

00:28:09.478 --> 00:28:10.357
That's not properly written.

00:28:10.938 --> 00:28:12.199
You are delighted when you discover...

00:28:13.446 --> 00:28:15.106
beneath the complex service,

00:28:15.448 --> 00:28:16.867
an elegantly simple concept

00:28:16.887 --> 00:28:18.407
to explain why things are

00:28:18.428 --> 00:28:18.969
the way they are.

00:28:19.048 --> 00:28:20.409
An idea is a connection.

00:28:20.909 --> 00:28:22.429
This is why I love dry erase boards.

00:28:22.489 --> 00:28:23.569
This is why when someone says,

00:28:24.049 --> 00:28:25.069
this is the first time this

00:28:25.089 --> 00:28:26.190
has ever happened, I'm like, ooh,

00:28:26.230 --> 00:28:27.151
why didn't it happen before?

00:28:27.191 --> 00:28:27.971
How's it happening now?

00:28:28.010 --> 00:28:28.510
What's changed?

00:28:29.191 --> 00:28:30.192
And this is why I get

00:28:30.251 --> 00:28:31.692
sidetracked on things a lot.

00:28:32.112 --> 00:28:33.451
So I have to know this and be like,

00:28:33.511 --> 00:28:34.292
you might have to dial it

00:28:34.313 --> 00:28:35.792
back if I need to execute on something.

00:28:35.873 --> 00:28:37.492
So my number two is ideation.

00:28:37.532 --> 00:28:39.394
That doesn't surprise me at all.

00:28:39.587 --> 00:28:39.788
Right.

00:28:40.249 --> 00:28:43.113
Number one is also in strategic thinking.

00:28:43.633 --> 00:28:46.096
And I was shocked just from the word,

00:28:46.277 --> 00:28:47.919
the name of this thing.

00:28:48.358 --> 00:28:49.441
I was like, that's me.

00:28:49.800 --> 00:28:50.923
And then I tell this to

00:28:51.022 --> 00:28:52.104
people who know me and they're like, yeah,

00:28:52.124 --> 00:28:52.505
that's you.

00:28:52.585 --> 00:28:53.506
And I'm like, oh, OK.

00:28:53.566 --> 00:28:54.406
So sometimes it's not so

00:28:54.446 --> 00:28:55.208
obvious to ourself.

00:28:55.528 --> 00:28:57.530
My number one is futuristic thinking.

00:28:58.655 --> 00:29:00.136
futuristic is described as

00:29:00.297 --> 00:29:01.436
in quotes wouldn't it be

00:29:01.477 --> 00:29:03.577
great if dot dot dot you're

00:29:03.597 --> 00:29:04.259
the kind of person who

00:29:04.318 --> 00:29:05.358
loves to peer over the

00:29:05.378 --> 00:29:06.259
horizon the future

00:29:06.398 --> 00:29:07.339
fascinates you that's

00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:08.539
absolutely true if it were

00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:10.381
projected uh the future

00:29:10.401 --> 00:29:11.862
fascinates you fascinates

00:29:11.882 --> 00:29:13.041
you as if it were projected

00:29:13.082 --> 00:29:14.542
on the wall you see in

00:29:14.603 --> 00:29:15.482
detail what the future

00:29:15.703 --> 00:29:17.044
might hold and this

00:29:17.084 --> 00:29:18.265
detailed picture keeps

00:29:18.505 --> 00:29:20.205
pulling you forward into

00:29:20.246 --> 00:29:22.306
tomorrow I love adding two

00:29:22.346 --> 00:29:22.946
things that don't make

00:29:23.007 --> 00:29:24.547
sense radio dj physical

00:29:24.567 --> 00:29:25.647
therapist doesn't make any sense

00:29:25.887 --> 00:29:26.808
This was not on purpose.

00:29:26.828 --> 00:29:27.648
This was by accident.

00:29:28.088 --> 00:29:29.790
But yes, I love those things.

00:29:29.810 --> 00:29:32.051
This is why I like the

00:29:32.071 --> 00:29:33.313
podcast has now shifted

00:29:33.353 --> 00:29:35.394
into more discussions on

00:29:35.753 --> 00:29:36.755
books or something,

00:29:36.775 --> 00:29:37.675
which is let's bring a new

00:29:37.776 --> 00:29:38.915
idea in and let's play with it.

00:29:38.935 --> 00:29:39.936
Let's bat it around like a

00:29:39.977 --> 00:29:40.917
kitten with a ball of yarn

00:29:41.258 --> 00:29:42.179
or let's do live streams

00:29:42.199 --> 00:29:42.959
with Tony and Dave.

00:29:42.979 --> 00:29:43.720
Let's take this thing.

00:29:43.799 --> 00:29:45.641
I kind of understand like as

00:29:45.681 --> 00:29:46.520
much as anybody can't

00:29:46.560 --> 00:29:47.602
business communications,

00:29:47.642 --> 00:29:48.442
marketing technology.

00:29:48.903 --> 00:29:49.943
How do these things all play

00:29:49.983 --> 00:29:51.904
well in an ever evolving sandbox?

00:29:51.924 --> 00:29:52.605
So this is my number one.

00:29:52.625 --> 00:29:55.366
And what do you do for work right now?

00:29:56.347 --> 00:29:58.469
I work for a health tech innovation,

00:29:59.009 --> 00:30:01.951
artificial intelligence organization that,

00:30:01.971 --> 00:30:02.711
but here's the thing.

00:30:02.751 --> 00:30:04.673
You would think that a futuristic person,

00:30:04.814 --> 00:30:06.535
I would need to be the person like coding,

00:30:07.234 --> 00:30:07.836
but there's not,

00:30:07.875 --> 00:30:08.736
there's not a chance in

00:30:08.836 --> 00:30:09.717
hell I'm ever going to be

00:30:09.737 --> 00:30:10.657
able to learn how to build

00:30:10.738 --> 00:30:11.817
any of these AI things.

00:30:12.159 --> 00:30:14.500
But that goes back to your areas of genius,

00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:14.759
right?

00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:16.000
Like you're not the builder,

00:30:16.040 --> 00:30:16.701
you're the thinker.

00:30:17.397 --> 00:30:17.817
Correct.

00:30:17.958 --> 00:30:19.719
So I'm but I bet you there

00:30:19.759 --> 00:30:20.759
are some coders who are

00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:22.661
thinking because without a great idea.

00:30:23.260 --> 00:30:23.441
Right.

00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:24.741
Or this is where partners

00:30:24.761 --> 00:30:26.722
come in hand like Steve

00:30:26.742 --> 00:30:28.182
Wozniak and Steve Jobs.

00:30:28.743 --> 00:30:31.424
Like Jobs was definitely a wonder.

00:30:32.526 --> 00:30:33.726
And I don't know what his might.

00:30:33.885 --> 00:30:35.326
This would that would be a fun exercise.

00:30:35.366 --> 00:30:37.307
Take famous people and make chat GPT.

00:30:37.327 --> 00:30:39.108
Tell us what their six types

00:30:39.128 --> 00:30:40.349
of working genius are to explain it.

00:30:40.369 --> 00:30:41.971
Definitely be a wonder.

00:30:42.391 --> 00:30:44.432
But Steve Jobs is not a galvanizer.

00:30:45.528 --> 00:30:46.130
Well, I don't know.

00:30:46.170 --> 00:30:47.131
Maybe he was because he was

00:30:47.211 --> 00:30:48.011
all about giving the TED

00:30:48.051 --> 00:30:49.053
talky type things.

00:30:50.454 --> 00:30:50.714
I don't know.

00:30:50.734 --> 00:30:51.256
It'd be fun.

00:30:51.395 --> 00:30:52.376
It'd be fun to like figure

00:30:52.396 --> 00:30:53.557
the reverse engineer what

00:30:53.597 --> 00:30:54.660
those things were and why

00:30:54.680 --> 00:30:55.460
they were successful.

00:30:55.560 --> 00:30:56.642
There I go using some of my

00:30:56.662 --> 00:30:57.502
strengths finders again.

00:30:57.603 --> 00:30:59.224
Ooh, I wonder why or how did he do that?

00:31:00.406 --> 00:31:01.228
But in the book,

00:31:01.268 --> 00:31:03.108
the six areas of genius book,

00:31:03.690 --> 00:31:04.430
one of the things that I

00:31:04.470 --> 00:31:05.631
really appreciated was when

00:31:05.750 --> 00:31:07.712
one of the people who was the finisher,

00:31:07.932 --> 00:31:08.452
like the one,

00:31:08.633 --> 00:31:10.174
the implementer and the finisher,

00:31:10.835 --> 00:31:11.394
they were like,

00:31:11.476 --> 00:31:13.116
you have no idea how much

00:31:13.277 --> 00:31:14.877
work it actually takes to

00:31:14.917 --> 00:31:17.559
take your idea and then make it happen.

00:31:17.579 --> 00:31:19.060
And we need you to be a

00:31:19.201 --> 00:31:21.042
little bit more cognizant of

00:31:21.590 --> 00:31:22.731
what it takes to take your

00:31:22.811 --> 00:31:24.913
idea and apply real life to

00:31:24.972 --> 00:31:26.973
it and to make it into a thing.

00:31:27.374 --> 00:31:28.334
And so I think that's

00:31:29.194 --> 00:31:30.234
sometimes the thinkers are

00:31:30.255 --> 00:31:31.316
the ones that get all the credit,

00:31:31.336 --> 00:31:33.156
but really the implementers

00:31:33.376 --> 00:31:35.377
ought to get lifted up a little bit.

00:31:35.665 --> 00:31:36.145
Totally,

00:31:36.547 --> 00:31:38.708
and then I would see your that

00:31:38.847 --> 00:31:40.169
phrase and idea and raise

00:31:40.230 --> 00:31:40.769
you another one.

00:31:41.911 --> 00:31:43.132
Steve Jobs, in his book,

00:31:43.172 --> 00:31:44.133
if you read his biography,

00:31:44.833 --> 00:31:46.134
they used to say he had a

00:31:46.253 --> 00:31:47.694
reality distortion field.

00:31:47.714 --> 00:31:48.736
Did you read his biography?

00:31:48.895 --> 00:31:50.798
No, but apparently – It was really long.

00:31:50.998 --> 00:31:52.578
It could have been three

00:31:52.598 --> 00:31:53.339
hundred pages shorter.

00:31:53.380 --> 00:31:54.220
It's still been a great story.

00:31:54.861 --> 00:31:55.942
But he had this thing where

00:31:55.981 --> 00:31:59.614
he'd say – I forget the specifics, but –

00:31:59.284 --> 00:32:02.366
An iPhone is like a metal case, right?

00:32:02.406 --> 00:32:04.107
It's just a metal box with stuff inside.

00:32:04.127 --> 00:32:04.608
And they were like,

00:32:04.888 --> 00:32:06.230
if you know anything about electronics,

00:32:06.269 --> 00:32:09.212
it's like signals don't go through metal,

00:32:09.272 --> 00:32:09.532
man.

00:32:10.834 --> 00:32:11.954
But he was like, make it happen.

00:32:11.994 --> 00:32:12.915
And they're like, we can't.

00:32:12.996 --> 00:32:15.198
And he's like, make it happen.

00:32:15.258 --> 00:32:16.659
So he walked around and he was like,

00:32:17.099 --> 00:32:17.680
I'm just going to have a

00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:18.800
distorted view of reality

00:32:18.820 --> 00:32:20.402
where if I keep pushing you,

00:32:20.742 --> 00:32:21.563
you will make it happen.

00:32:22.423 --> 00:32:23.723
So without that,

00:32:23.943 --> 00:32:25.144
would you have the progress?

00:32:25.164 --> 00:32:26.164
So you, but here's the thing.

00:32:26.204 --> 00:32:27.065
Someone still has to do it.

00:32:27.325 --> 00:32:28.905
So you need those several

00:32:28.945 --> 00:32:29.925
different types of people

00:32:30.006 --> 00:32:31.165
or the thing doesn't get done.

00:32:31.205 --> 00:32:31.826
But yes, you're right.

00:32:32.246 --> 00:32:33.826
The wonder invention person

00:32:34.047 --> 00:32:35.086
typically gets the credit

00:32:35.106 --> 00:32:37.127
because they're on stage.

00:32:37.167 --> 00:32:38.708
I want to be that for physical therapy.

00:32:38.768 --> 00:32:39.827
Like I want to be the person

00:32:39.847 --> 00:32:41.067
that says we should be

00:32:41.127 --> 00:32:42.189
doing it at this level.

00:32:42.209 --> 00:32:43.608
We should be practicing at this level.

00:32:43.648 --> 00:32:44.929
And then I get people that say, well,

00:32:44.949 --> 00:32:45.730
we can't do that.

00:32:45.769 --> 00:32:46.509
We don't do it that way.

00:32:46.529 --> 00:32:47.230
It's not possible.

00:32:47.769 --> 00:32:48.049
Is it,

00:32:48.250 --> 00:32:49.871
can I like go to conferences now and

00:32:49.911 --> 00:32:51.730
be like, may I get happened?

00:32:53.011 --> 00:32:53.532
Yes,

00:32:53.712 --> 00:32:56.455
except there was a formal relationship

00:32:56.476 --> 00:32:58.356
with Steve and his employees.

00:32:58.897 --> 00:33:00.720
They were all on a mission

00:33:00.819 --> 00:33:01.901
to do whatever the

00:33:02.260 --> 00:33:03.423
particular mission of Apple,

00:33:03.522 --> 00:33:04.604
if you want to look it up,

00:33:04.624 --> 00:33:05.545
I'm sure it exists somewhere.

00:33:06.285 --> 00:33:07.626
This is where I have a good

00:33:07.666 --> 00:33:09.729
problem with conferences

00:33:09.788 --> 00:33:10.890
like the Graham Sessions.

00:33:11.150 --> 00:33:12.270
And just for people who are

00:33:12.330 --> 00:33:13.412
out there who might not have heard of it.

00:33:14.012 --> 00:33:15.954
It's a super small invitee

00:33:16.035 --> 00:33:17.957
only ish sort of group of people.

00:33:17.997 --> 00:33:19.018
It's like a hundred people.

00:33:19.557 --> 00:33:20.779
I'm fudging some of the statistics,

00:33:20.819 --> 00:33:22.520
but it's small and it gets better.

00:33:22.601 --> 00:33:23.241
We're supposed to do

00:33:23.301 --> 00:33:23.962
everybody gets together.

00:33:24.022 --> 00:33:25.384
We're supposed to solve the big problems.

00:33:26.285 --> 00:33:27.465
I feel like that room has a

00:33:27.486 --> 00:33:28.386
lot of wow people.

00:33:29.387 --> 00:33:30.689
And then the problem is

00:33:31.048 --> 00:33:32.611
they're not tied to each other.

00:33:32.830 --> 00:33:33.951
So you get a bunch of people

00:33:33.971 --> 00:33:35.574
who are talking at thirty thousand feet.

00:33:36.683 --> 00:33:38.085
But there's no – number one,

00:33:38.144 --> 00:33:39.045
there may be less

00:33:39.404 --> 00:33:40.865
enablement and tenacity

00:33:40.905 --> 00:33:41.546
people in the room.

00:33:41.826 --> 00:33:43.987
The GSD people – look it up

00:33:44.106 --> 00:33:46.508
if you don't know what GSD means.

00:33:46.528 --> 00:33:47.288
There's not a whole lot of

00:33:47.307 --> 00:33:48.249
GSD people in there,

00:33:48.328 --> 00:33:48.949
and then no one's

00:33:49.009 --> 00:33:50.569
responsible for doing any

00:33:50.589 --> 00:33:51.750
of the things that are talked about.

00:33:51.950 --> 00:33:53.550
That also drives people like me crazy.

00:33:53.570 --> 00:33:55.051
I was like, are we going to go now?

00:33:55.172 --> 00:33:57.192
And they're like, well,

00:33:57.211 --> 00:33:58.173
just go do it yourself.

00:33:58.192 --> 00:33:59.153
I'm like, no, man.

00:33:59.333 --> 00:34:01.894
So you – like Steve had people on his team,

00:34:02.233 --> 00:34:03.535
and their only job and the

00:34:03.595 --> 00:34:06.815
reason they were there was do this –

00:34:06.569 --> 00:34:07.691
And they talked about the friction.

00:34:07.810 --> 00:34:09.692
Michael Jordan.

00:34:09.751 --> 00:34:10.652
People thought he was just

00:34:10.693 --> 00:34:11.713
the biggest a-hole.

00:34:12.213 --> 00:34:13.614
And he was like Steve Jobs.

00:34:13.653 --> 00:34:15.114
He was like, we're going to be champions.

00:34:15.135 --> 00:34:16.096
And we're going to beat everybody.

00:34:16.135 --> 00:34:17.217
And we're going to outwork people.

00:34:17.737 --> 00:34:18.137
And they were like,

00:34:18.396 --> 00:34:20.038
can't we just phone this workout in?

00:34:20.057 --> 00:34:20.739
And he's like, no.

00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:22.280
No, we're not.

00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:23.780
This is why he has, I don't know,

00:34:24.021 --> 00:34:25.161
a lot of championship rings.

00:34:25.202 --> 00:34:26.402
Five rings or something.

00:34:26.422 --> 00:34:27.043
And cute shoes.

00:34:27.903 --> 00:34:28.784
And cute shoes.

00:34:29.025 --> 00:34:32.849
His mom had the discernment

00:34:32.909 --> 00:34:35.110
view of looking... Did you see Air?

00:34:35.150 --> 00:34:36.032
Did you see the movie Air?

00:34:36.052 --> 00:34:37.393
No, but I need to.

00:34:37.612 --> 00:34:38.193
Very good movie.

00:34:38.233 --> 00:34:39.114
Tells the story behind the

00:34:39.153 --> 00:34:41.076
story of Michael Jordan

00:34:41.637 --> 00:34:42.978
getting his shoe deal with Nike.

00:34:43.237 --> 00:34:44.338
And Nike was not Nike.

00:34:44.418 --> 00:34:45.800
Nike was like fifth best.

00:34:46.041 --> 00:34:46.822
At best,

00:34:46.842 --> 00:34:47.882
they were the fifth... They were

00:34:47.902 --> 00:34:48.762
known as a running shoe.

00:34:49.623 --> 00:34:50.744
But they wanted basketball

00:34:50.784 --> 00:34:51.686
because it was going to be more money.

00:34:51.706 --> 00:34:52.487
It was more visible.

00:34:53.266 --> 00:34:53.467
So...

00:34:55.034 --> 00:34:56.255
this agent the guy who's

00:34:56.275 --> 00:34:57.175
supposed to run around the

00:34:57.215 --> 00:34:58.835
matt damon character was

00:34:58.936 --> 00:34:59.836
had I don't know a million

00:34:59.876 --> 00:35:02.197
dollars a year to spend on

00:35:02.257 --> 00:35:03.398
like four athletes

00:35:03.900 --> 00:35:04.420
essentially it's like

00:35:04.460 --> 00:35:05.561
buying four lottery tickets

00:35:05.780 --> 00:35:06.400
so he would look at the

00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:07.461
draft and then be like

00:35:07.961 --> 00:35:08.702
we're gonna give a quarter

00:35:08.722 --> 00:35:09.663
million to each and then he

00:35:09.742 --> 00:35:10.403
and I might be fudging the

00:35:10.443 --> 00:35:11.943
numbers obviously but then

00:35:11.983 --> 00:35:13.204
he was like I want to bet

00:35:13.224 --> 00:35:14.346
it all I'm gonna give my

00:35:14.385 --> 00:35:15.626
entire year budget to this

00:35:15.786 --> 00:35:18.268
kid michael jordan and they

00:35:18.288 --> 00:35:19.268
were like that's too much

00:35:19.329 --> 00:35:20.190
of a risk and he's like

00:35:20.690 --> 00:35:22.090
we're either gonna sink or swim

00:35:23.393 --> 00:35:25.074
dividing our lottery ticket by four,

00:35:25.193 --> 00:35:25.954
it ain't going to do it.

00:35:26.655 --> 00:35:28.414
And then, so Mrs. Jordan,

00:35:28.454 --> 00:35:31.297
his mom was smart enough to say,

00:35:31.436 --> 00:35:32.757
I want this much money

00:35:33.277 --> 00:35:34.157
because Michael's worth it.

00:35:34.757 --> 00:35:36.398
And it was the first time

00:35:36.438 --> 00:35:37.519
she ever got a cut of

00:35:37.780 --> 00:35:38.860
anything with his name on

00:35:38.900 --> 00:35:39.541
it in the future.

00:35:39.561 --> 00:35:41.722
And he was like, this isn't possible.

00:35:42.402 --> 00:35:43.422
You can't do this.

00:35:43.463 --> 00:35:44.663
Like this will not be allowed.

00:35:45.083 --> 00:35:46.503
So he went to the,

00:35:47.603 --> 00:35:48.585
I think Ben Affleck

00:35:48.605 --> 00:35:49.945
character who was like the

00:35:50.146 --> 00:35:52.126
Bill Knight guy and Nike and was like,

00:35:53.226 --> 00:35:53.927
We got Jordan,

00:35:53.967 --> 00:35:55.528
but she's asking for too much.

00:35:55.849 --> 00:35:57.550
And to Phil Knight's credit, he's like,

00:35:57.570 --> 00:35:58.530
well, what is she asking for?

00:35:58.951 --> 00:36:00.032
He wants a cut of everything

00:36:00.052 --> 00:36:00.572
in the future.

00:36:00.612 --> 00:36:01.452
And he goes, well,

00:36:01.472 --> 00:36:02.112
if we're going to sink or

00:36:02.152 --> 00:36:03.333
swim and it's based on this,

00:36:03.853 --> 00:36:05.474
then we have to make this decision.

00:36:05.855 --> 00:36:06.615
So Michael Jordan still

00:36:06.635 --> 00:36:10.018
makes checks in twenty twenty five,

00:36:10.038 --> 00:36:10.498
even though he hasn't

00:36:10.518 --> 00:36:15.581
played in twenty years.

00:36:15.601 --> 00:36:15.681
Yeah.

00:36:15.702 --> 00:36:18.043
Oh, we're talking about personality types.

00:36:18.143 --> 00:36:18.923
Now we're talking about movies.

00:36:19.769 --> 00:36:20.349
Well, that's okay.

00:36:20.429 --> 00:36:21.230
I'm a mom of three,

00:36:21.269 --> 00:36:22.351
so I fall asleep every time

00:36:22.411 --> 00:36:27.172
I put on a movie, but I do read a lot.

00:36:27.192 --> 00:36:27.512
But my,

00:36:28.211 --> 00:36:31.952
what my take home from that is you

00:36:31.972 --> 00:36:32.913
got to risk it to get the

00:36:32.932 --> 00:36:33.913
biscuit kind of.

00:36:35.072 --> 00:36:36.514
Yeah.

00:36:36.574 --> 00:36:37.634
She was going to get nothing.

00:36:39.353 --> 00:36:41.215
So they were going to win and win big,

00:36:41.255 --> 00:36:42.135
or they were just going to

00:36:42.215 --> 00:36:42.954
all have nothing.

00:36:42.994 --> 00:36:45.356
And I think that's a fair risk to take.

00:36:45.436 --> 00:36:45.896
I think it's,

00:36:46.760 --> 00:36:48.061
I think the story with

00:36:48.101 --> 00:36:49.101
Michael Jordan's mom does

00:36:49.141 --> 00:36:50.461
go back to what we're talking about here,

00:36:50.581 --> 00:36:52.342
is she read the room.

00:36:52.822 --> 00:36:54.641
She's like, I know what my son is.

00:36:55.563 --> 00:36:57.382
I am aware, not just he's my boy.

00:36:57.782 --> 00:36:59.123
I am aware of where he is in

00:36:59.143 --> 00:37:00.043
the social space.

00:37:00.242 --> 00:37:01.724
I understand.

00:37:02.384 --> 00:37:04.204
And then she was like, this is worth it.

00:37:04.764 --> 00:37:05.503
She's doing the math.

00:37:05.523 --> 00:37:06.465
She's doing the scales.

00:37:06.565 --> 00:37:07.445
She was doing the seesaw.

00:37:07.465 --> 00:37:09.905
She's like, he is heavy on one side.

00:37:09.945 --> 00:37:11.105
He is valuable.

00:37:11.626 --> 00:37:12.826
You have to match that to

00:37:12.865 --> 00:37:13.646
make it balanced.

00:37:14.326 --> 00:37:15.851
I mean, there was a story about,

00:37:15.871 --> 00:37:17.335
I can't remember this kid's name.

00:37:18.478 --> 00:37:19.402
Remember the Lion King?

00:37:20.644 --> 00:37:21.487
The movie?

00:37:21.547 --> 00:37:21.728
Yeah.

00:37:22.603 --> 00:37:24.304
disney movie the kid got

00:37:24.423 --> 00:37:26.045
offered a million dollars

00:37:26.764 --> 00:37:28.905
in like or something to

00:37:29.005 --> 00:37:31.327
sing the simba part simba

00:37:31.347 --> 00:37:33.628
was the kid right yeah to

00:37:33.748 --> 00:37:34.949
sing to be the voice of

00:37:34.989 --> 00:37:36.849
simba and sing whatever the

00:37:36.869 --> 00:37:38.130
main song was in disney's

00:37:38.150 --> 00:37:39.751
the lion king and his mom

00:37:39.972 --> 00:37:41.032
look at here's the theme

00:37:41.072 --> 00:37:42.873
moms are smart his mom was

00:37:42.913 --> 00:37:45.233
like okay we'll take fifty

00:37:45.273 --> 00:37:47.815
grand and royalties

00:37:48.822 --> 00:37:49.362
And they were like,

00:37:49.643 --> 00:37:50.302
you're really going to want

00:37:50.342 --> 00:37:51.664
to take the million you're saying,

00:37:51.684 --> 00:37:52.864
you know, to a million dollars.

00:37:53.224 --> 00:37:55.625
And now the math is math to

00:37:55.764 --> 00:37:56.445
a lot more money.

00:37:56.465 --> 00:37:56.545
Yeah.

00:37:56.565 --> 00:37:57.744
Jonathan Taylor Thomas is

00:37:57.784 --> 00:38:00.065
probably still living on that.

00:38:00.085 --> 00:38:00.485
What did Jonathan,

00:38:00.505 --> 00:38:01.746
was he the home improvement kid?

00:38:02.166 --> 00:38:04.646
Yeah, he was Simba.

00:38:04.947 --> 00:38:05.887
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:38:05.907 --> 00:38:07.547
But this other kid sang,

00:38:07.907 --> 00:38:09.447
Jonathan Taylor Thomas didn't sing.

00:38:09.467 --> 00:38:11.168
Oh, you just crushed all my like.

00:38:12.307 --> 00:38:12.487
Yeah.

00:38:12.547 --> 00:38:13.487
Jonathan Taylor Thomas,

00:38:13.547 --> 00:38:15.889
I guess didn't sing.

00:38:17.175 --> 00:38:20.398
Well, that's disappointing and sad.

00:38:20.818 --> 00:38:24.139
Well, so I think kind of pull it together.

00:38:25.041 --> 00:38:26.362
Yes.

00:38:26.382 --> 00:38:27.541
Taking all of these pieces

00:38:27.581 --> 00:38:28.342
of information about

00:38:28.362 --> 00:38:29.903
yourself and figuring out

00:38:30.443 --> 00:38:31.085
what you want to do and

00:38:31.105 --> 00:38:32.405
where you want to go is really helpful.

00:38:32.425 --> 00:38:33.425
But I also feel like if

00:38:33.445 --> 00:38:35.086
you're going to go into a job interview,

00:38:36.568 --> 00:38:37.829
having this information is helpful.

00:38:37.869 --> 00:38:38.929
Because how many people get

00:38:39.010 --> 00:38:39.550
asked this question?

00:38:39.570 --> 00:38:40.429
Well, what are your strengths?

00:38:40.449 --> 00:38:41.150
What are your weaknesses?

00:38:41.271 --> 00:38:42.692
Oh, I never thought of that.

00:38:42.711 --> 00:38:43.913
That's a good idea.

00:38:43.952 --> 00:38:45.614
So I feel like you could just be like, hey,

00:38:45.634 --> 00:38:46.173
like that.

00:38:47.128 --> 00:38:48.568
I'm really a strategic thinker.

00:38:48.648 --> 00:38:49.590
I'm an activator who helps

00:38:49.610 --> 00:38:50.409
get things done.

00:38:50.489 --> 00:38:51.090
I'm really good at

00:38:51.110 --> 00:38:52.391
collecting input from others.

00:38:52.411 --> 00:38:53.512
I have futuristic thinking

00:38:53.572 --> 00:38:54.472
and I'm a high achiever.

00:38:54.512 --> 00:38:55.793
So I'm going to take all of those things,

00:38:56.215 --> 00:38:57.054
put them together and help

00:38:57.074 --> 00:38:58.076
your company be successful.

00:38:58.483 --> 00:38:59.545
it gives someone a third

00:38:59.585 --> 00:39:00.925
dimension to your resume

00:39:00.965 --> 00:39:02.527
which is sort of a list of

00:39:02.547 --> 00:39:03.548
accomplishments what

00:39:03.588 --> 00:39:04.809
doesn't tell anybody

00:39:04.829 --> 00:39:05.911
anything but now you're

00:39:05.931 --> 00:39:06.931
able to use it in context

00:39:06.952 --> 00:39:07.731
because it's always the

00:39:07.751 --> 00:39:08.572
well tell me a time when

00:39:08.592 --> 00:39:09.414
you were really stressed

00:39:09.474 --> 00:39:11.215
and you really whatever and

00:39:11.235 --> 00:39:11.896
now you're able to say well

00:39:11.916 --> 00:39:12.476
I'm going to tell you a

00:39:12.516 --> 00:39:13.958
story about where invention

00:39:14.478 --> 00:39:15.259
like this is what you would

00:39:15.278 --> 00:39:16.559
say in your head I'm going

00:39:16.579 --> 00:39:17.159
to tell a story about how

00:39:17.221 --> 00:39:18.121
invention led to

00:39:18.961 --> 00:39:20.583
for xing revenue or I'm

00:39:20.603 --> 00:39:21.704
gonna tell you about how

00:39:21.844 --> 00:39:23.686
woo you know helped me get

00:39:23.865 --> 00:39:25.327
three thousand leads in six

00:39:25.407 --> 00:39:26.208
months and why that's

00:39:26.387 --> 00:39:27.349
because now you're talking

00:39:27.369 --> 00:39:28.509
in terms that the other

00:39:28.568 --> 00:39:29.909
person finds valuable we

00:39:29.929 --> 00:39:30.530
like you know if it's a

00:39:30.570 --> 00:39:31.371
sales job if it's a

00:39:31.431 --> 00:39:33.393
clinical job and putting it

00:39:33.432 --> 00:39:34.873
in an objective com um

00:39:35.235 --> 00:39:37.135
context how I use these

00:39:37.155 --> 00:39:38.456
strings those are cute as

00:39:38.476 --> 00:39:39.318
the kids would say cool

00:39:39.338 --> 00:39:41.039
story bro tell it again

00:39:41.059 --> 00:39:41.880
like why does it matter to

00:39:41.980 --> 00:39:43.681
me what so what now what

00:39:43.701 --> 00:39:44.842
give them the now what

00:39:44.862 --> 00:39:46.023
that's a good that's a good point

00:39:46.666 --> 00:39:48.427
but I'm doing more and more consulting.

00:39:48.487 --> 00:39:49.688
And when I look at these top

00:39:49.708 --> 00:39:51.751
five strengths, strategic, activator,

00:39:51.871 --> 00:39:53.532
input, futuristic, and achiever,

00:39:53.572 --> 00:39:53.992
like to me,

00:39:54.032 --> 00:39:55.034
that sounds like the kind of

00:39:55.054 --> 00:39:56.094
consultant you'd want to hire.

00:39:56.655 --> 00:39:57.876
So being able to take those

00:39:57.896 --> 00:39:58.936
pieces of information and

00:39:58.956 --> 00:39:59.476
put them together,

00:39:59.536 --> 00:40:00.617
I think is really helpful.

00:40:00.898 --> 00:40:01.958
And then having your find

00:40:01.998 --> 00:40:03.880
spots so that when they do ask you,

00:40:04.380 --> 00:40:05.541
you know, what are your weaknesses?

00:40:05.581 --> 00:40:06.943
We can say, well, these are my strengths,

00:40:06.983 --> 00:40:08.585
but what I know to be aware

00:40:08.664 --> 00:40:10.565
of because of that are these things.

00:40:10.646 --> 00:40:12.547
And so you're not like, oh,

00:40:12.568 --> 00:40:13.949
my weakness is chocolate cake.

00:40:14.679 --> 00:40:15.139
Right.

00:40:15.159 --> 00:40:16.719
My weakness is I just care too much,

00:40:16.780 --> 00:40:17.201
Rebecca.

00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:19.762
I just, I'm a perfectionist.

00:40:20.063 --> 00:40:20.342
I just,

00:40:20.443 --> 00:40:21.824
I can't move on because I need it

00:40:21.844 --> 00:40:22.945
to be chef's kiss.

00:40:22.965 --> 00:40:23.065
Yeah.

00:40:23.605 --> 00:40:23.864
All right.

00:40:23.905 --> 00:40:25.907
You want to do parting shots?

00:40:26.927 --> 00:40:27.007
Well,

00:40:27.027 --> 00:40:27.867
I'm going to ask you a parting shot

00:40:27.887 --> 00:40:28.168
question.

00:40:28.188 --> 00:40:28.628
How about that?

00:40:29.009 --> 00:40:29.208
Okay.

00:40:29.248 --> 00:40:29.989
I've never done this before.

00:40:30.028 --> 00:40:30.690
Okay.

00:40:30.710 --> 00:40:32.811
If your strength was a cocktail,

00:40:32.871 --> 00:40:33.592
cause it's PT podcast.

00:40:33.612 --> 00:40:34.251
What would it be?

00:40:34.431 --> 00:40:37.574
Oh, if my strength was, you know,

00:40:37.594 --> 00:40:38.335
your answer to this.

00:40:39.061 --> 00:40:40.561
No, that's why you got to go first.

00:40:40.581 --> 00:40:41.463
I'm going to ask it back to you.

00:40:41.483 --> 00:40:42.943
I was trying to buy myself some time.

00:40:43.842 --> 00:40:47.123
Let me look at my, uh,

00:40:47.204 --> 00:40:49.184
wonder communication, individual woo.

00:40:49.304 --> 00:40:49.565
Uh,

00:40:50.925 --> 00:40:52.826
it would have to be something very

00:40:52.865 --> 00:40:54.365
peacocky, right?

00:40:55.005 --> 00:40:55.646
Uh, it has to be very,

00:40:55.686 --> 00:40:56.606
something loud and crazy.

00:40:56.646 --> 00:40:56.867
Ooh.

00:40:57.507 --> 00:41:03.108
Um, man, this is a good question.

00:41:03.168 --> 00:41:03.949
Uh, a poos cafe.

00:41:05.128 --> 00:41:06.728
I don't even know what that is.

00:41:06.748 --> 00:41:07.628
Yeah, I've only made one.

00:41:07.688 --> 00:41:08.590
It was because I found it in

00:41:08.610 --> 00:41:09.610
a bartending book when I

00:41:09.630 --> 00:41:10.570
was bartending with my uncles.

00:41:11.170 --> 00:41:13.793
And it is a drink that you

00:41:13.873 --> 00:41:15.173
have to do in layers.

00:41:15.414 --> 00:41:16.333
Someone's going to fact check me.

00:41:16.353 --> 00:41:17.775
There's like eight different

00:41:18.034 --> 00:41:18.695
liquors in it.

00:41:19.195 --> 00:41:20.476
And it's layered from the

00:41:21.016 --> 00:41:24.418
most dense to the least dense viscous.

00:41:24.858 --> 00:41:25.918
So you actually pour the

00:41:25.978 --> 00:41:27.219
liquors in the glass over

00:41:27.239 --> 00:41:28.760
the back of a spoon so it

00:41:29.081 --> 00:41:30.382
nicely – that they don't mix.

00:41:30.402 --> 00:41:31.081
So when you're done,

00:41:31.101 --> 00:41:32.763
it just looks like a bunch of –

00:41:32.563 --> 00:41:34.824
striatic lines so I would

00:41:34.844 --> 00:41:39.429
say a poos cafe okay that

00:41:39.449 --> 00:41:40.028
was not because it's all

00:41:40.048 --> 00:41:41.090
about look at me that's

00:41:41.110 --> 00:41:42.170
what it's about look at

00:41:42.210 --> 00:41:43.371
what I can do look at the

00:41:43.431 --> 00:41:44.592
end let's talk about this

00:41:44.612 --> 00:41:45.673
oh let's let's make let's

00:41:45.713 --> 00:41:46.594
stir some conversation

00:41:46.635 --> 00:41:47.574
around that so it's a drink

00:41:47.655 --> 00:41:49.197
no whatever order or drink

00:41:49.237 --> 00:41:50.177
who knows if it tastes good

00:41:50.657 --> 00:41:52.018
but it looks kind of crazy

00:41:52.059 --> 00:41:53.139
because you pour they're

00:41:53.159 --> 00:41:54.001
different colors so the

00:41:54.021 --> 00:41:54.900
green doesn't separate

00:41:55.282 --> 00:41:56.242
doesn't mix with the red

00:41:56.262 --> 00:41:56.882
and it's like what you did

00:41:56.902 --> 00:41:57.443
on your first birthday

00:41:57.463 --> 00:41:58.003
because you don't know

00:41:58.023 --> 00:42:00.005
better and it looks cool

00:42:00.686 --> 00:42:01.706
yeah no one orders this

00:42:01.726 --> 00:42:02.967
drink it's just a visual

00:42:03.128 --> 00:42:04.628
peacocky thing it's not

00:42:04.668 --> 00:42:05.849
functional it's just a

00:42:05.909 --> 00:42:07.791
conversation starter so if

00:42:07.871 --> 00:42:09.132
you're so same question to

00:42:09.152 --> 00:42:11.012
rebecca griffith I think

00:42:11.233 --> 00:42:12.833
maybe an old-fashioned oh

00:42:12.893 --> 00:42:15.916
there you go why I think

00:42:15.996 --> 00:42:18.398
it's classy and I think it

00:42:18.498 --> 00:42:20.059
opens doors because a lot

00:42:20.099 --> 00:42:21.280
of people drink it so it's

00:42:21.320 --> 00:42:22.380
a thing you can like have

00:42:22.420 --> 00:42:23.981
questions about there's

00:42:24.001 --> 00:42:25.161
still some choices that go

00:42:25.242 --> 00:42:26.362
into it so when you're like

00:42:26.422 --> 00:42:27.603
building the ingredients

00:42:27.623 --> 00:42:28.264
like you have to think

00:42:28.304 --> 00:42:29.385
about what's going to mix well

00:42:31.032 --> 00:42:32.293
And it just doesn't have

00:42:32.333 --> 00:42:35.554
like a bad hangover to it.

00:42:35.735 --> 00:42:37.034
Oh, have you ever had a lot of them?

00:42:37.054 --> 00:42:37.954
Because I've had a hangover

00:42:37.974 --> 00:42:38.815
from old fashions.

00:42:38.835 --> 00:42:39.255
Well, no, I haven't.

00:42:39.315 --> 00:42:43.777
Because one also feels like enough.

00:42:43.797 --> 00:42:45.177
That should be true.

00:42:45.958 --> 00:42:47.739
That should be true.

00:42:47.759 --> 00:42:48.659
So I would say that.

00:42:49.086 --> 00:42:49.728
That should be true.

00:42:50.447 --> 00:42:51.509
You can find her online.

00:42:52.009 --> 00:42:53.811
She is the EDDPT, Rebecca Griffith.

00:42:53.871 --> 00:42:55.192
What are any big events

00:42:55.211 --> 00:42:56.353
you're going to coming up?

00:42:56.753 --> 00:42:58.795
I'm going to be in Chicago

00:42:58.815 --> 00:43:00.237
this weekend at the

00:43:00.277 --> 00:43:01.137
Vestibular Symposium at

00:43:01.177 --> 00:43:03.619
Aurora Advocate Health.

00:43:03.639 --> 00:43:05.340
That sounds very fancy and

00:43:05.621 --> 00:43:06.621
have a few old fashions.

00:43:06.641 --> 00:43:07.362
You can talk more about

00:43:07.402 --> 00:43:09.043
vestibular issues and balance.

00:43:09.063 --> 00:43:09.985
Exactly.

00:43:10.538 --> 00:43:11.938
Uh, well, thanks for stopping by.

00:43:11.978 --> 00:43:12.438
Thanks for doing this.

00:43:12.478 --> 00:43:13.619
What do we want to do next?

00:43:13.679 --> 00:43:14.481
Is there an assignment you

00:43:14.501 --> 00:43:14.820
want to give me?

00:43:14.860 --> 00:43:15.802
I told you I'm good with,

00:43:16.161 --> 00:43:16.942
I need someone to give me some,

00:43:17.003 --> 00:43:17.682
like a coach,

00:43:17.722 --> 00:43:18.744
give me something I should try.

00:43:18.764 --> 00:43:19.885
I need to finish the let them book.

00:43:19.905 --> 00:43:21.045
Don't I?

00:43:21.125 --> 00:43:21.826
I think so.

00:43:21.905 --> 00:43:22.626
I'm actually having my

00:43:22.646 --> 00:43:24.487
teenager listen to let them podcasts.

00:43:24.588 --> 00:43:26.289
We're having conversations about that.

00:43:26.329 --> 00:43:26.648
All right.

00:43:26.869 --> 00:43:27.550
I will get on that.

00:43:27.630 --> 00:43:28.570
And the next time we speak,

00:43:28.670 --> 00:43:29.510
we will be talking about

00:43:29.590 --> 00:43:31.753
Mel Robbins and the let them theory.

00:43:31.813 --> 00:43:32.994
And how to place a burnout

00:43:33.014 --> 00:43:33.853
in physical therapy.
