How to STOP Starting, START Finishing | Zoe Fragou | TEDxAUEB
What if having many talents isn't a burden, but your biggest superpower?
In this inspiring TEDx talk, organizational psychologist and business coach Zoe Fragou introduces a bold idea: it's not enough to have potential, you need to turn it into ability.If you've ever struggled to focus, finish what you start, or choose one path when you love many, you're not alone.
Zoe Fragou explores what it means to be a multipotentialite in a world that worships specialization and how to master the art of choosing, finishing, and thriving with multiple callings.She shares real stories, from Olympic athletes to Scrabble champions, and offers 4 practical tools to help you go from scattered to strategic:
-Self-awareness
-Growth mindset
-Proof of progress
-Honest feedback“Potential is a promise. But ability? Ability is a legacy.”*About the theme: Amalthea*
In Greek mythology, the Horn of Amalthea, also known as the Horn of Abundance from which Zeus was fed, was a symbol of prosperity — a vessel overflowing with nature's gifts and gems, representing the ultimate satisfaction of desires.However, the focus on material prosperity and the acquisition of wealth raises a question: if the horn of Amalthea were full today, would it give us the same sense of fulfillment?
And ultimately, what does abundance really mean?
Is it the accumulation of wealth, or is it a mindset that challenges scarcity?
What if we defined success not by how much we own, but by how much we share??
