Torsten Gross

Some say your biggest strength is your biggest weakness. Torsten believes it’s the opposite: your biggest weakness is your biggest strength. Everything good in life came from using this superpower. You just have to be willing to embrace it.

Torsten believes we all have our own “wheelchairs.” His happens to be visible. But whether you have depression, PTSD, are on the spectrum, face relationship issues or anything else, we all have something which holds us back and makes us feel underrated. But once we find that, we have found our superpower!

Our society has conditioned us to temper our questions. But we use questions to learn, relate, define, and include. When we don’t ask questions, we assume. That leads to bigger issues.

Schools teach process. Process managers live by process. But those who understand process, and know when and how to flex process structure, are set up to win.

Everyone wants to help. Torsten used to see help as bothersome because everyone wants to help “the wheelchair guy.” Now he accepts the help because he knows he will help others at every point in his journey. However, he had to learn how to accept people helping and more importantly, how to ask for it.

How many times have you had an idea, followed by all the reasons it wouldn’t work? That’s because we are conditioned to mitigate failure. What if we saw failure as a good thing? What if you embraced inevitable failure and used it to fuel success? Torsten tells his tales of failure, which have launched every aspect of his success.
