It’s really tempting to tell everyone (subtly, as to not appear as an egomaniac) all the things you’re best at.
But you’re good at so many things that it’s hard to remember any of them.
The better someone gets to know you, the more receptive they’ll be to defining you by a greater number of professional strengths. The strengths will then be celebrated as opposed to forgotten due to confusion.
***This isn’t a message about staying in one single lane and not developing outside of it. It’s a message about discerning what is helpful in the moment…about developing a wide selection of strengths but knowing which ones to bring up and which ones to let rest in any given situation.
