A Star is Learned

Tiger Woods wasn’t born golfing.  He did spend time, lots of time, practicing and he became good at it. People have inherent traits but being good at something takes time, effort, and practice. In this episode of Programming Leadership, Marcus talks about the importance of not solely focusing on things that people are naturally good at. It’s important to branch out of our comfort zones and learn new skills and is it only with practice and learning that we become better at those skills. And through trials and tribulations we ultimately find what we like to do and what we want to do.

Show Notes

• If you only focus on things you are good at, you’ll never know what you could be capable of doing.
• Get out of the mindset that you only have to do what you’re naturally good at.
• Success and failure both give opportunities for people to learn.
• Imposter syndrome is feeling like a fake in the role that you already possess.
• Laws of relationships should be focused on rather than laws of power.
