Ep 38: Todd Rose: We are all in this Together

s2

In this episode of Catalysts for Change, Jill talks to Todd Rose, co-founder and president of Populace. A former professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Todd’s innovative work focuses on the way we think, work and live. 

Todd’s work regarding individual potential, and ultimate success, involves his research on the myth of being average, and his focus on empowering individuals. At Populace, Todd and his team use this notion and focus to reimagine education, work, and society.  His work shows us that we are all much closer than we think we are in terms of what we want out of life and for our country. 

Before co-founding Populace, Todd founded and led the Laboratory for the Science of Individuality, which focused on developing new insights to addressing long standing issues in society. 

We talk to Todd about his own personal journey, the importance of understanding our individual strengths, and shifting away from the notion of average and norms, as well as his work at Populace.
