The Personality Edit: How to Develop the Traits You Want- Dr. Shannon Sauer-Zavala

‎For decades, we've been told that personality is fixed. That you either have certain traits like confidence, resilience, emotional stability or you don't. Dr. Shannon Sauer-Zavala's research challenges that assumption.‎‎She is a clinical psychologist, professor, and personality change researcher. Her work shows that traits like confidence, emotional resilience, and communication style can actually be intentionally developed.‎She is the author of the upcoming book The Personality Edit and the founder of Personality Compass. Her research has been featured on CBS Sunday Morning, BBC Future, and Vox's Explain It To Me.‎‎In this episode of Empowered Conversations, we talk about:‎‎- Is personality really fixed – or can people intentionally change?‎- What science says about Myers-Briggs, Enneagram, and other personality tests‎- How personality traits shape success in work, leadership, and relationships‎- Why personality tests can actually limit your potential‎- The difference between accepting who you are and intentionally changing‎- What "The Personality Edit" means – and how change actually works‎- The first step to shaping a specific trait, like confidence or emotional resilience‎- One small thing you can do today to start nudging your personality‎‎If you've ever felt trapped by the idea that "this is just how I am", this conversation is for you. ‎You are not stuck with the personality you have. Personality is not fixed – it is editable. And you have more power to shape who you are than you have been led to believe.‎‎Connect with Dr. Shannon Sauer-Zavala‎Website: www.shannonsauerzavala.com‎‎Book: The Personality Edit (upcoming)‎‎Follow and rate the show.‎
