Marisa Norcross and David Freund continue their discussions on Leadership and Professional Development.
In this week’s episode. Marisa and David discuss David’s weekly post titled “What’s Your Capacity?”
In this week’s post, David shared this quote from Peanuts creator Charles Schultz “Life is like a ten-speed bike. Most of us have gears we never use.” There are so many areas in our life where we view our capacity as very limited. In the post David shared an example of how we can increase our Energy capacity. He also shared the following equation from one of John Maxwell’s newer books, No Limits AWARENESS + ABILITY + CHOICES = CAPACITY. Unfortunately most of us think the equation is ABILITY=CAPACITY. In this podcast, Marisa and David take a closer look at our Thinking and Creativity capacity.
Are you ready to increase your capacity?
Here are the books Marsia and David referenced in the podcast:
