Share: What is something you learned about Adam Grant?

Crystal Bruce

We are excited to welcome #1 New York Times bestselling author and organizational psychologist, Adam Grant, to the bbcon mainstage this year!

Read our announcement here and check out his bio on the bbconference.com speakers page. Internet sleuths - what is something you learned about Adam Grant?

I had not heard of him before he was announced, so I learned who he was and have listened to a couple of his books on my drive to work.

I hadn't heard of him before either - but after reading his bio, really exited to hear him speak. I'm most interested to hear about how we utilize the drive for motivation and meaning in our daily work.

I hadn't heard of him before and fell in love with his book Hidden Potential. I feel like his appreciation of failure plays heavily into why the proposal for a session that @Sara Niemiec, @Lauren Henderson, and I will be presenting on Monday Afternoon! I briefly cover an idea he shares in the book - that wasn't his idea - called Brainwriting! I am a little nervous I won't get to see the entire keynote as @Hallie Guiseppe and I are up at 10:15 right after his talk. . . Thank goodness it will be recorded. There is something about the energy in the room that is so palpable during the keynotes - the inspiration is beyond words.

I had not heard of him before, but since the announcement, I read a bit about him and I'm looking forward to hearing him speak. I'm currently listening to his book "Think Again" .

I also hadn't heard of him before, so thank you, bbcon, for bringing him to our attention! I'm excited for the time with him, and excited to learn more about how psychology plays into what we all do.
