The thing you do effortlessly that others call a gift.
You probably don't see it that way.
You assume everyone thinks like that. You read the room or get conversations moving like that.
They don't.
Why we overlook our strengths
There are usually two reasons we overlook our natural strengths.
The first is simple. We assume everyone can do it. No big deal, right?
The second one cuts deeper. At some point, someone told us it was too much. Too intense. Too complicated. Stop overthinking. You talk too much. Nobody understands you.
So we learned to shrink it. Dial it back, and many of us started seeing it differently. Something to tone down instead of something to embrace.
Me? I went into rebel mode.
What if that's your edge?
For years, I was told I was too impulsive, too fast, and not patient enough.
Sure, when I was younger, I was impulsive, but I was following my instincts. I saw what needed to happen, and I went for it.
That strength served me well as I helped build early-stage businesses. It also led to some fun adventures in my life.
What if the thing you were told was too much is actually your edge?
My question for you this weekend:
