Harvard’s Dr. Howard Gardner on Unlocking Your 8+ Hidden Intelligences
Manage episode 469591476 series 1319843
Are You Smarter Than You Think?
For years, we’ve been told intelligence is about IQ, test scores, and fitting into a rigid mold. But what if everything you thought about intelligence was wrong? What if intelligence isn't just one thing—but many?
In this episode, I sit down with one of the most influential psychologists of our time, Dr. Howard Gardner, the man behind the groundbreaking Theory of Multiple Intelligences. His work changed the way I see people—including myself—and I know it’s going to change the way you see yourself and those around you. We break down the different types of intelligence and how understanding them can transform your confidence, your parenting, your leadership, and even your business.
Think you’re not smart just because you weren’t great at math? Think again. You may have an intelligence that’s been overlooked your whole life. Dr. Gardner explains how to identify your strengths, unlock your potential, and even help your kids or team members thrive by recognizing their unique abilities.
We also get into the future—how AI is reshaping intelligence, what true leadership looks like, and why being "smart" isn’t enough. We need people who use their intelligence for good, who lead with purpose, and who build lives based on their natural strengths.
Key Takeaways:
- The eight types of intelligence and why traditional IQ tests only measure two
- How to identify your personal intelligence (or your child’s)
- The hidden biases we have about intelligence—and how they impact hiring, leadership, and success
- Why AI is changing the way we think about intelligence and what it means for our future
- The secret to staying mentally sharp as you age
This conversation is going to shift the way you see yourself forever. Stop doubting your intelligence—start understanding it. Let’s go!
