Hey Jordan Harbinger here and welcome to Minnesota Monday happy to be here with you kicking off the week with something quick and actionable that you can implement right away that will make you more magnetic and effective today I want to talk about skill versus talent I went to a conference with other entrepreneurs recently I go to those all the time actually and one of the discussions that came out of it
0
SPEAKER_00
was the idea of skills versus talent.
0
SPEAKER_00
And lots of folks, including myself, think talent is overrated, to say the least.
0
SPEAKER_00
And hell, there s even entire books about this concept, the authors of whom have, of course, been interviewed here on the Art of Charm podcast.
0
SPEAKER_00
This is a complex topic, but the bottom line is that if something can be learned, then it is a skill.
0
SPEAKER_00
If it s something innate, it s a talent.
0
SPEAKER_00
And there s no surprise there, right?
0
SPEAKER_00
I mean, the thing is, during this conversation, once we started labeling skills and talents, we started to realize that pretty much everything that was really important
0
SPEAKER_00
was a skill.
0
SPEAKER_00
We also found out that a lot of the things that we thought were talents were also just skills.
0
SPEAKER_00
After all, if even one person is able to learn it through study, coaching, and effort, it s learnable.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I know what you re thinking, and you re probably right.
0
SPEAKER_00
It is totally possible that talented people might be better at learning certain skills.
0
SPEAKER_00
Then again, what if you re not right?
0
SPEAKER_00
And when we label things as talents, or we label someone else as talented, maybe this is a defense mechanism.
0
SPEAKER_00
Maybe this is an excuse because we don t want to expend the time, the energy, and the effort it takes to learn and master what are really skills.
0
SPEAKER_00
So next time you re put off an activity because you think you re not talented enough, you d better make sure that the requisite talent isn t actually just a skill in disguise.

SPEAKER_00
