Two of my StrengthsFinder themes are Ideation and Future, and I’m at my best when challenging people to think differently. This question, “What have you changed your mind about lately?” can be a powerful tool to help someone get a new perspective. I [...] My favorite scene from Tom Hank’s film Castaway has to be his announcement to all who can hear him that he has made fire on the deserted island. The scene resonates well with me because I feel strong when I’m able to finally accomplish something after a long period of trial and error. Can you think of a [...] My friend Sam Barry has just published a book. That isn’t surprising – after all, he’s a bright guy and works for a company that publishes books.
