Which Character Skills Could Unlock Your Hidden Potential?

Written By Erma Cerda

As we think about the many ways to care for ourselves, one path is to intentionally focus on self-growth and exploration; podcasts are one modality that can support that exploration. The recent Ten Percent Happier Podcast With Dan Harris released an episode with Adam Grant, an organizational psychologist at Wharton, that discusses how to develop character skills to unlock your potential. The episode dives into:

  • Why character skills are so important and how to develop them;

  • What we learn from seeking discomfort;

  • The concept of scaffolding as a way to overcome obstacles;

  • The value of acceptable mistakes; and

  • How to see the hidden potential in others and champion them
