Talk I delivered to 40 high school sophomores on the importance of identifying ones unique genius, developing education/coaching to support that genius and then working hard to become the best at that genius.

Self Awareness/Unique Genius Presentation to HS Sophomores / Feb 2017

College is THE goal for a lot of Americans and I'm not sure that is the right goal. In this video, I share some thoughts on the concept of How versus About. A lot of what I learned in high school and in college was the 'About'. The 'How' is what I learned from working on the job. I think there might be a gap between the education system and the world of work (read salaries that our kids need to become self-sustaining adults). I think College is important, but I think its a supporting actor in this conversation. Please share your thoughts, comments and questions below. Thank you for watching!!
