What If I Am Good at Many Different Things?
Having multiple strengths can create a different career problem.
Instead of asking "What can I do?", you may need to ask "Which combination of what I can do is most valuable and meaningful for me?"
Do not force a single choice immediately
Do not force yourself to choose a single ability immediately. Look for patterns and combinations across your strengths.
Look for what connects your strengths
For example, someone who combines communication, teaching, leadership and research may find opportunities that would not be obvious if each skill were considered separately.
Add values and interests to the picture
Also consider values, interests, preferred environment, lifestyle, contribution and opportunities for growth. These filters help you prioritize which combination of strengths to build your career around.
Career direction is about the intersection
Career direction is not always about finding the one thing you are best at. Sometimes it is about finding the intersection of several things you can do well — and the direction that combines them most meaningfully.
