"Is it a Gift or a Curse?"
What it means to be an Outlier...
and what to do about it!
presented by Victoria Ragsdell, PhD
Being gifted may mean not fitting in easily with institutions, conventions or social groupings. It may make it harder to find friends. It may make it more difficult to be understood or accepted.
This SENGinar will look at what it means to be different from the larger group and explore ways to navigate friends, family, work and other institutions gracefully, peacefully and effectively.
Taking a page from Dr. Temple Grandin and the book Outliers, we will explore the promise, the advantages and the navigational challenges of being somewhat different from the majority population. We will talk about giftedness as our advantage, our �invisibility cloak� and our unique perspective on an increasingly homogenized culture.
The goal is to transcend a �victim focus� while viewing our practical problems and stresses with more sophistication and precision. Becoming at ease and content with our giftedness is a good focus for the holiday season. Sign Up Now
