Can You Fit A Square Peg In A Round Hole?

Can You Fit A Square Peg In A Round Hole?

Do you ever feel like you don’t quite fit in at work? Do you sometimes feel inadequate or as though you’re not good enough for the job compared to others? Like your ideas are a chaotic tangle while everyone else seems to operate in bullet points? If that feels familiar, you are not alone.

Workplaces today are buzzing with diverse personalities and skills, but what happens when someone just doesn’t seem to “fit”? In this episode, we dive into the world of workplace misfits with Mark Laudi, Founder and CEO of Hong Bao Media, and a Gallup-Certified Advanced CliftonStrengths Coach. Together, we explore why some people feel out of sync, how to turn differences into strengths, and what leaders can do to foster environments where everyone can shine, even the so-called misfits.
