Show Notes
Welcome listeners to a special episode today with guest, Arica Ohloff. Arica is a strengths coach who hones in on what makes people special and brings out others' greatness. When it comes down to value, Arica truly believes every single person has potential. Get out your notebooks, pen, and get ready because this is a good one friends! Key Takeaways:
- Instead of making someone more well-rounded, Arica focuses on making people more star shaped. "We are raised in society to focus on what we don't do well. Let's start putting people in roles where they are dominate."
- "As parents when we can see what sets our kids apart from their classmates, tell them. What do your kids learn really rapidly? What do they have a natural earning towards?" Arica shares her thoughts on looking within and "being individually sharp."
- Leaning into a team approach versus a "I can do everything" approach allows you and your business to go further than imagined and grow exponentially.
- Check out "The E Myth" book, a free trial of the book is available on Blinkist.
- E Myth covers the three components of entrepreneurship:
-
- Technician
- Manager
- Visionary
- Arica's favorite quote to remind others of how we're wired so differently comes from Joseph Campbell, "Kindness is loaning someone else your strengths without reminding them of their weakness."
- Arica helps guide people to figure out more about themselves through a developmental tool called, Gallup's CliftonStrengths Assessment.
- "We are never done growing." We all have to do the hard work of understanding ourselves and those around us.
- "We're never going to eliminate all working frustrations." Arica talks about understanding that there is no one that thinks or behaves like you do, get rid of the "gavels" we all have different things we can bring.
- "When we show up authentically, we earn trust." What's your secret sauce or superpower?
