Using Our Talents

All of us have talents and skills. Some are more visible than others, and some are more developed than others. However, we all are gifted at something - several things.

It might have something to do with how quickly we grasp new information, how we take a test, how we remember details, how can we meet others, how we can play a musical instruments or design things, how we can speak in public, how we can express ideas in writing, or how we can build or repair things with our hands.

It might be in the way we relate to people, the way we meet strangers and befriend them, the way we structure a sales presentation and deliver it, the way we communicate, our capacity to empathize with someone, or many other life or business skills.

The question is two-fold. First how many of our own skills are we really using, How can we get even better at what we already do well, and what would it take to accent some of other other skills and talents?

Second, how well do we do identifying these skills in our customers and the people we meet and using that to foster sales and relationships?

Since we all have skills and talents that help to make each one of us special, let's learn to be watchful for them.
