Greg McEwen: The idea that the only experience that counts is the experience you've been paid to have seems utterly inane. He says there are lots of implications for this that I haven't developed yet, but he believes they represent huge opportunities for research and assessments. And we all have an opportunity to tap into it and leverage it in our personal lives and our professional lives according to him.

Have you ever felt you had more life experience and talent than your job requires or even allows you to use? Today I've invited Soren Kaplan to the show to talk about how you can better tap into that experience yourself, and also in the people around you. I've long believed that what we know about other people is less valuable than what we don't know. That there's an enormous amount of potential under the surface. What's not on someone's resume, what's not in their current job title, and our ability to mine that experience in ourselves and in other people is, Kaplan believes, a predictor of our success. First we had IQ, then we had emotional intelligence, or EQ. This is XQ, Experiential Intelligence.
