The Power of Continuous Learning and Being a Positive Contrarian with Carol Sanford

Experts get in the way of their own discoveries!

Carol Sanford is a positive contrarian who believes that no matter the outcome, it can be a meaningful one. As a professor, Carol ensures never to use the same idea twice, which provides a space for creating useful and valuable evolution in her thinking. Being an expert blocks people’s learning, as she emphasizes and Carol does not class herself as one. 

Carol believes that discovering who you are, takes a lifetime - the secret is not in deciding who you are, but rather discovering it. We all have work to do, we show up for our businesses, whether we like it or not, and we will discover new things every year. We do not necessarily need to strive for new content, but rather an extension and evolution of something useful to the world.

You cannot do this alone - grow your capacity in a developmental community!
