Knowing and Owning Your SuperPower

If you asked me, at age five, what my Superpower would be, I would've said I'd want to be invisible or to have the ability to read minds, so I could go everywhere and know what people were thinking. 

Ask me today, and I can tell you my Superpower that I do possess is by no means magical or mystical, but a unique and an important quality, nonetheless. 

I'm an Intuitive. No, not the medium or psychic kind, though a similar gift. I can come into a situation, be introduced to a person or task; be it personal or professional, be invited to sit in a meeting or view a presentation - and see beyond what is before me. I can see possibility above and beyond the obvious. I immediately see the start of an idea and how it can evolve into something a lot bigger. I can see what is missing or needed and determine how it can be shifted, resolved or altered altogether. No, this isn't the typical, "I can read people." This Superpower goes beyond the metrics of body language and facial movements.

I can see beyond what is there, what has been asked and what has been accomplished. How useful is this Superpower? The obvious: there is always the opportunity to go beyond. Be daring. To take risks and stand out amongst the crowd. To not settle for safe and to dare to go passed boundaries.

In a nurturing environment, where opinions and insight are welcomed, this skill is limitless. In an environment where ideas, bold ideas, are cultivated into actual doing - it's reaped transformation, revenue and originality. 

With my Superpower, I do not dare to be small. I do not dare to be captured inside the usual definitions of industry. No, I go beyond and what is easy and tried and true, and that is how greatness can be achieved. 

So, what's your Superpower and how are you using it to be the difference?
