You know that thing you do; the way you obsessively rearrange pens before a meeting, the random-but-brilliant ideas you toss out mid-conversation, or your love of color-coded spreadsheets? The thing you might’ve been told was “a little much”?

Yeah. That might be your superpower.

In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of quirks, those small, unique traits that often get brushed off as eccentric or awkward. But according to new research in Psychology Today and backed by neuroscience, your quirks are more than harmless habits. They might be the secret to your creativity, resilience, productivity, and leadership.

Spoiler alert: Your brain isn’t built to fit in. It’s wired to stand out.

Today Dr. Bray dives into Quirks at Work:

How quirks drive innovation and problem-solving at work
Why high-performing teams need their “oddballs”
Simple ways to identify and own your quirks—and help your team do the same

Whether you're the quiet notetaker, the idea machine, or the person who can’t not ask “what if,” this episode will show you how to turn what makes you different into what makes you indispensable.

Because let’s face it, the world doesn’t need more polished, perfect professionals.

It needs real ones: quirks and all.

QUOTES BY DR. BRAY"We all have different operating systems that in some way make us different from anybody else." "In the human brain, quirks foster love, they foster connection." "We need to really view quirks as strengths. And when we do that, it liberates not just ourselves but other people." "Really, the secret to your success lies in your quirkiness."
