Episode #108: Rinat Strahlhofer on Being Flawsome

Rinat Strahlhofer, founder and Emotional Intelligence Officer, coach and blogger at Can You Tell Me About Yourself, is reinventing the way we hire. Hearing canned responses and the same old stories about work achievements get us nowhere. Who are you really? Performance is fine in theatre and sports but not within human engagement. We trust real, imperfect human beings who tell stories that resonate. Rinat wants to change how you hire by zooming in on who you hire. She believes you should only hire flawsome people and she tells you why. Rinat has a Bachelor degree in marketing and social science and has spent her career putting disruptive services and technologies into the hands of millions. Now she's disrupting the recruitment process. In this episode we talk about the fear that people with alcohol problems have of being authentic in the event a potential employer will learn the truth, the role that imposter syndrome plays in our lives, empathy vampires, and how to be totally and utterly flawsome.
