Key Points
Our three big takeaways from Niall's conversation with Sam White are
- Diversity of thought - Sam has found that living with dyslexia means she can sometimes finds it difficult to follow other peoples processes. However, she believes her dyslexia is also her superpower. Because she needs to do things in a certain way to understand things, quite often she finds better, more creative ways of doing those things.
- Having the humility to give others autonomy - Sam really believes that if you ask people to help they will. She knows she doesn't have all the answers and is willing to go and find someone who will have those answers
- Reframing failure - even the people we perceive to be successful can tear themselves apart over the most trivial things. Most of the time, it's never as bad as we think it is and we just need to be kind to ourselves.
