ARE YOU JEKYLL OR HYDE?

How do you get the best of you to float to the top?

That's what we will be talking about on this week's episode of
"The Atypical Leader" as we reflect on our last 25 episodes.

Since we published our 25th episode last week (YAY), I was thinking I should ask Rick how he is feeling about the Podcast as a whole and boy, does he have a lot to say!   - "It's crazy what I'm learning about myself." - "Each EP cau...

Most leadership books, consultants and HR managers will tell you that the secret to success is about turning your weaknesses into your strengths. A good idea? That would be a HARD NO! Not for atypicals. In fact, it is plain silly. There's just not enough return on the investment of time!

Part 1
- Rick is dyslexia with a high level of cognitive dysfunction, causing him to be a poor reader, writer and speller
- He could work on making these things his strength until the cows come home, it is just never going to happen
- Finding ways to neutralize these weaknesses so they don't impede his advancement is more realistic

Part 2
- The real secret to driving your success is to turn your strengths into greater strengths
- Get focused on what comes naturally to you and maximizing your skill set
- If you are good at it, get better! If you're organized, get more organized if you're good with people, get better with people. These are the keys to your success.

It's about OWNING WHO YOU ARE!

So, join us on this week's Saturday, September 23rd, episode of the Atypical Leader podcast as we discuss how you can get focused on your strengths to drive your success
