How to Find Your True Self in a Noisy World with Joshua Berry

The Remarkable Leadership Podcast

How do we find our true selves among the distractions of a noisy world? Joshua Berry shares with Kevin that being naive can help us reconnect with our innate qualities and authenticity. He explains how naivety can serve as a shield or a source of strength, allowing us to foster optimism and genuine innovation in our personal and professional lives. Kevin and Joshua also explore the tensions between being pragmatic and naive, highlighting how these qualities are not mutually exclusive but rather complementary. Joshua also introduces four questions that can help individuals examine their beliefs and make intentional choices - Where did you learn that belief? Is that belief absolutely true? What do you gain by holding that belief? What do you lose by holding that belief?
