On this episode of Mere Mortals Unite, we interview Vanessa Spiller, who has an amazing superpower of being able to recognize other people’s potential. As an adventure coach for Project Athena, she coaches participants to succeed where they never thought they could. Vanessa listens with empathy and doesn’t try to put herself in someone else’s shoes. Instead, she takes to heart that she’s never been in their shoes, which keeps her from judging others. Join us and find out how to use a 1 to 5 scale to cultivate self-awareness. Get ready for an episode filled with great lessons and a whole lot more.  

You’ll discover:

 

• How Vanessa describes her superpower.
• The benefits of seeing strengths in yourself and in others.
• Why it’s important to ask yourself “What’s the worst that can happen?” when you are faced with fear.
• Vanessa’s simple but effective exercise for getting rid of negative thoughts.
• Why giving it all you’ve got is enough.
• Why it’s important to say “yes” to things that make you feel positive.
• A simple “1-5” exercise to help you develop more self-awareness.
