Discovering your strength reveals an amazing new world
Turning hyperactivity into hyperfocus
Dave Crenshaw is a master of taking a minus and turning it into a plus. The best-selling productivity and leadership author not only has benefitted himself but has shown others that limits to success are all in your mind.
“I was diagnosed as ‘off the charts’ with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder,” he said. “This means that, while it’s nearly impossible for me to focus on some things, I hyperfocus on others. I chose to create a ‘valuable obsession’ for that hyperfocus.”
One such focus has been his “Discovering Your Strength” course, which was named №1 most popular course on LinkedIn in 2020.
“It’s a bit meta,” Crenshaw said. “My ‘valuable obsession’ was to help others find their unique path to success — their valuable obsessions. My course on LinkedIn Learning is where I share that process.”
He discussed the finer points of strength discovery with Chelsea Krost, a millennial expert, global speaker and marketing and branding strategist, on her #MillennialTalk Twitter chat.
