S4 E1 Enhancing our ability to work with expertise - with Dr Elizabeth Crosse

The 'Inspire your Life' Podcast with Arthi Rabikrisson

Welcome to SEASON 4!! It's great to be back and yes, we have returned this season in style with a fabulous guest to kick off!
In this first episode, Arthi is joined by Dr. Elizabeth Crosse to discuss enhancing our ability to work with expertise.

Elizabeth shares her passion about lifelong learning & explains how she navigated through several learning and personal challenges, and that some of her greatest learnings came from her own personal storm as she likes to refer to it. Dr Crosse details that she found this personal storm to be a major wake up call and decided to look inwards at how she was being more than what she was doing. It was this realisation that got her thinking that working with professionals is not only about what we know but rather who we are

Elizabeth explains the differences between professional (Horizontal growth) and personal growth (Vertical growth) and shares how her wish is to be a provocateur to have listeners consider different perspectives of growth. Elizabeth refers to horizontal growth as ”adding apps to our phone” where as vertical growth is more like “upgrading our system.”

Elizabeth shares the ability to work with expertise is all about how we're managing relationships while being able to bring our humanity. Thereafter the skills and knowledge is what enables us to have the type of connections and relationships to work with expertise.

Some wise words from Elizabeth Crosse:

“if I've learned something, I can then do something differently”

”we don't have to agree with each other to be able to move forward”

Listen to the full episode for so much more insights and ideas offered by this wonderful guest.
