2 Ways to Discover Your Unique Abilities
What if success in content marketing wasn’t about fixing your weaknesses but amplifying your strengths??
fio D. , content lead at Float.com and founder of contentfolks , shares how focusing on her unique abilities has transformed her career—and how you can do the same.
Unique abilities are the ones that singularly qualify you for a task or a role, as well as the areas in which you hold superior skills, a strong passion or a keen interest. Fio learned how to identify unique abilities and use them to map next steps, as well as use colleagues’ unique abilities to assemble a synergistic team.?
fio was lucky to have an insightful manager who unlocked this concept for her. For those of us without that advantage, here are two ways to begin investigating your unique abilities:?
- If your company hosts regular performance reviews, use that time to ask questions about your strengths and where you’re excelling. Take notes on the answers and reflect on the core abilities these are tied to.
- Reach out to people you’ve worked with before, whether clients, colleagues or prior bosses, and give them some context on unique abilities. Then ask them, “Based on what you know about me, what is my unique ability?â€
From there, compile the data and see if you can find any trends, themes or recurring points. Read the full article to learn more about exploring unique abilities for yourself and for your team.??
