Start time where you are: Your time zone couldn't be detected
What if your “weakness” is actually the shadow of an extraordinary gift? Many of history’s greatest innovators – from Temple Grandin to Tu YouYou – discovered their breakthrough insights precisely because they saw the world differently. But finding the right soil for your particular variety to flourish isn’t always straightforward. Sometimes you can’t grow Pinot in Merlot soil.
Drawing from his experience coaching dozens of unconventional achievers, Jason will guide us through understanding how to identify our true talents (not just our passions), find the right environment for growth, and develop the skills needed to translate our unique perspectives into meaningful impact. We’ll explore the concept of anti-discipline, the power of frontiers, and why sometimes the easiest path to greatness is embracing what comes naturally to you – even if it seems strange to others.
Every movement starts with the fringe and the greatest innovations emerges from deviants. What is it actually like to be an outlier? When are talents, tendencies, and backgrounds clash with the majority? How do we carve a path our own without letting our unconventional nature get us in trouble? Join Jason Shen, the outlier coach and author of WEIRDLY BRILLIANT for a joyful, illuminating and unexpected salon series about understanding, adapting, and flourishing in a world designed for typical brains and ordinary minds.
This salon is part of The Outlier Series—a 4 part Interintellect Salon Series hosted by Jason Shen—author of Weirdly Brilliant—How Ambitious Outliers Swing Big, Own Their Genius, and Play a Different Game
