What’s Your Unique Talent?

Unique Talent = Natural Abilities + Your Unique Way Of Expressing Those Abilities

Your Natural Abilities

■ What’s *that thing you do* which you’re so naturally talented at?
■ What’s the work you’ve done effortlessly ever since you can remember?
■ What’s the work or activities that energise you (rather than tire you) after you’ve completed them?
■ What types of problems would your friends, colleagues and family pay you to fix out of their own pockets?
■ What do you do when no one is looking?
■ What type of tasks and activities make you completely lose track of time?
■ What would you write about if I forced you to start sharing your expertise in a series of blog articles?
■ What would you speak about if I forced you to give a 15 minute talk on a topic you felt confident speaking about?
■ What  would you do with your time if you inherited £20million and were told you only had 10 years left to live? 

Your Unique Way Of Expressing Those Abilities

■ What’s unique about the way you express those abilities?

■ What are your key ‘weaknesses’ that are actually unique strengths in disguise?

■ What are the things that make you stand out when you’re with your peers? (positive or negative)

■ What’s the most quirkiest thing about you?

■ What do your friends and colleagues often mock you about?

It’s In Your DNA

We’ve all got a unique talent - a natural ability that only we can express in a totally unique way.  Just like your DNA, no one in history has ever had that combination.

Which is why:

- No one can write, sing and perform in the exact same way as Michael Jackson.

- No one can bend a football kick or become a fashion icon in the exact same way as David Beckham. 

- No one can be a catalyst for compassion and change in the exact same way  as Mother Theresa.  

And the reason why no one can do *that thing you do* in quite the same way you do it. Your own unique talent is in-built - it’s part of your DNA.

Your Challenge

Your task then is to figure out what that unique talent is and then find people, organisations or a cause that can benefit from that talent.

Once you do that on a consistent basis, you’ll be able to build a powerful personal brand, attract success, wealth, job satisfaction and create a sense of meaning from your professional life that most people spend years searching for. It’s the holy grail.

But it doesn’t happened overnight.

Like everything, it starts with a first step. That first step is to start looking for clues about yourself and your unique talent by asking some tough questions of yourself.

I challenge you to take the first step…

This is a great post. In addition to abilities and expression I would add passion, or what motivates you to a high level. For example, Michael Jackson is a great performer, but if he were not motivated to be in front of people (e.g., introverted), he may not have been the Michael Jackson who we all know today.

Hi Rob,

Very true. passion is a key component.

I often find some people find it difficult to pinpoint what their passionate about. Hence the reason for questions like "what activities make you lose track of time", "do effortlessly" or "energise you"....very often those activities give you clues about the direction you should be.

thanks for commenting!

"My dream is to travel across the U.S.A. and dance in a new place every night!"
