Been reading and learning much about identity capital in recent weeks, and it gave me great hope. We can learn how to build identity capital in every single context we find ourselves in--chosen or not. If we're self-aware, even things we find boring help us build this capital. Makes us scrappy.
"Scrappy" is a great word!
Also, hi Jenn! It's still pretty quiet here, eh?
I think it comes down to your feed and who you follow. Takes a bit more work here to curate - as it were - a noisier place.
I need to try harder. Just blowing the dust off...
Yeah, Zac was talking about this w/me last week. Reminded me: In their unpredictable industry, they have to constantly build identity capital w/intention. Said he had a few Ts who taught him how, explicitly.Made him more open-minded and creative. Able to learn in any context. Constraint=creativity.
I would love to read more about this! Any tips?
Sure-- I'll write a short series of open posts over the next couple of weeks and share here. One big, quick 💡is it's not just about knowing your current self and identity well and Ts being responsive, but intentionally using learning experiences (even those we don't choose) to shape with intention.
