How Other People Can Help You Recognize Your Natural Gifts
Self-awareness does not have to be a solo project. Other people can notice patterns that are invisible from the inside.
Five questions to ask
What do you think I do naturally well? What do people usually come to me for? What kind of problem do you think I handle unusually well? When have you seen me at my best? What ability do you think I underestimate?
Specific beats vague
"You're amazing" is encouraging but not very diagnostic. "You always find a way to make complicated instructions understandable" provides something you can investigate.
Use multiple perspectives
One person's opinion may reflect personal preference or bias. Repeated observations from independent people are more informative.
You may be using abilities every day without having a clear language for them.
