What’s your stick?

You struggle to remove a gate from its hinges. A neighbour then places a length of wood in just the right spot, leveraging it off with minimal effort. They know where to put their ‘stick’ to get the job done easily.

You struggle for hours to make an Excel spreadsheet work and your colleague adds in a formula that solves your problem in seconds. They know where to put their ‘stick’ to make it work.

You don’t spot the miscalculation in your P&L but your business advisor does. That’s their skill, their stick.

But none of these people know your widget quite like you do. If they ever need help that you have specialist knowledge of, you get to use your stick.

Everyone’s ‘stick’ is different. What’s yours?

Linda.
