Why Your Strongest Ability May Feel Ordinary to You
One of the strange features of ability is that the person who possesses it may be the least impressed by it. If a task requires little conscious effort, you may assume it is easy for everyone.
The clarity paradox
Imagine someone who naturally converts complicated information into a clear explanation. Because the process feels obvious internally, they may not recognize the value of the result.
Other people may notice it first
"You explained that better than anyone else." "Can you organize this?" "How did you notice that?" "Can you help me solve this?"
Look for consistent patterns
Do not turn compliments into instant labels. Instead, look for consistent patterns of effective behavior across different situations.
