Helping leaders become the person everyone wants to work with | Holistic leadership coach | People and Culture Lead
I have no skills! Said a young man. He had done his military service and was looking for a job. I didn't have a clue of what I wanted to do or what I was good for when I graduated highschool, so I deeply care about young people finding their way and confidence to step into the work world. To succeed (on your own terms) you need confidence and competence, and awareness of both. The young man continued to tell me about his motorsport hobby. He said he was a spotter and explained what a spotter does. During the training he takes a high spot with a good view on the track. He takes notes about where and what the pilot does and how his actions influence his speed. He also takes notes of the car's performance throughout the track. He then feeds this information back to the pilot and the team so that improvements can be made. I immediately recognised that this is a skill that is highly valuable in all sorts of quality related roles. The ability to revise the whole process and make relevant changes to improve quality and efficiency is his talent. Not to mention communication and feedback skills. He had never thought about it this way and was happy to have a new perspective to his abilities and talents. In addition to any other goals you may set for yourself for this year, I hope you also learn more about your talents, skills and abilities. You are probably way more talented than you realise, and have much more potential than you have ever believed you have. ✅ What am I great at? ✅ How can I create more value with this talent? Include these questions to your regular reflection and I guarantee you, that you will not only build your confidence and competence, but also bring so much more value to your company, team and leadership. #skillawareness #knowyourself #leadershipdevelopment #developingtalent
