Nicky Abdinor is an exceptional person. Nicky was born without arms and shortened legs, a physical disability that had no medical explanation.

She believes supportive parents, a determined personality and inclusion in mainstream education were key factors in overcoming her physical limitations.

She still maintains a bigger smile than most people we see today.

Her talks are packed with positive psychology, childlike joy and lots of humour.

Noteworthy questions: * When did your model of the world change? (9:42) * What does the process of reframing look like for you? (12:41) * How does growth mindset integrate with positive psychology? (24:24) * What is the first step to get back to childlike curiosity? (31:52)

Key takeaways

• We can always find a story of somebody who’s got similar circumstances and has overcome it.
• We are hardwired to focus on the things we can’t do.
• Our uniqueness is our greatest strength.
• To be childlike requires that we play again and be vulnerable.
