Be the best at something
Get clear on your gifts and talents and find roles that are in alignment. It takes quiet time and self-discovery to figure out what you do better than anyone else. Everyone has something that is in their power alley, or flow, that sets them apart. It’s your job to figure out exactly what that is and to use it to advance your career. It took me some time to master this lesson because your gift isn’t always that sexy. Here’s what I know for sure. I am a fixer. I get stuff done more efficiently than most. I am an excellent operator. I often say that I am never the smartest person in the room but I am almost always the most prepared. What do you do better than others? What do people thank you for? Your gift lies within that answer. Go discover it.
