Episode 173 - Sir Ken Robinson on The Element, Talent Assessment and Feeling Lucky

Sir Ken is one of DishyMix's all time most popular guests. He's back, this time to talk about human potential, the intersection of aptitude and passion and finding your calling.

Do you wonder if you are doing the right work? Does your job make you ecstatically happy or utterly miserable? Do you think there might be something else more satisfying out there for you? Let's find out what it is.

"The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything," is a NY Times best-seller. Sir Ken shares his stories about "creating a new paradigm of human capacity to meet a new era of human existence."

How do you discern your best attributes? Ken provides a long list of possibilities for consideration. Perhaps you are linguistic, musical, mathematical, spatial, kinesthetic. Perhaps you are more interpersonal or intrapersonal? Do you have more analytic intelligence, creative or practical intelligence?

Ken shares ways you can be in your "flow," or in your "element." Dial yourself in a little better in this heartwarming show full of hope and your human potential.
