Experts get in the way of their own discoveries!Carol Sanford is a positive contrarian who believes that no matter the outcome, it can be a meaningful one. As a professor, Carol ensures never to use the same idea twice, which provides a space for creating useful and valuable evolution in her thinking. Being an expert blocks people’s learning, as she emphasizes and Carol does not class herself as one. Carol believes that discovering who you are, takes a lifetime - the secret is not in deciding who you are, but rather discovering it. We all have work to do, we show up for our businesses, whether we like it or not, and we will discover new things every year. We do not necessarily need to strive for new content, but rather an extension and evolution of something useful to the world.You cannot do this alone - grow your capacity in a developmental community!Notes:👠 Carol doesn't view herself as an expert: experts get in the way of their own discovery. 3:36😇 She's a positive contrarian: for Carol, no matter what the outcome is, she makes it a meaningful outcome. 8:56👩‍💻 She has a School (with a capital S) where she works with business leaders. 10:53🤓 Carol always disrupts certainty: in every book, workshop, or podcast, she disagrees immediately. 17:21💡 As a professor, she never repeats the same idea she used before. 20:40🧠 A mental artist: creating useful, valuable evolution in her thinking. 23:16💎 Don't think about building something for you as a woman but for all humans. 28:22💲 You make more money, because you make more of a difference without trying to make money. 33:23😇 You can't do it alone: in a developmental community, you can grow your capacity. 34:53Links:https://carolsanford.com/https://seedcom.org/https://carolsanford.substack.com/Connect with Adrienne: https://www.sheleadsmedia.comListen to podcasts for women by women on the She Leads Podcast Network: https://www.sheleadspodcasts.com >> "I love ❤️ Adrienne and The She Leads™ Podcast!” If that thought crossed your mind at any time while listening to our special show, can I ask you to please take a moment and give our podcast some love?
