Episode notes

Think about things that have some type of emotional content to them for you. Positive, joyous, or negative, shame, fear, embarrassment. And you'd include trauma in that list, would you? Of course. So extremes on this list and you just what just write out the list? Create a little chart. The way I do it is I look at like a three column table. What's my experiences? What are the messages then that those experiences delivered to me? Where I took on because of them?"

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.
