You are a Talent!


 



Have you ever wondered if you are a talent or not?


Have you ever being stuck into the thinking process that your manager or your peers did not really recognise you as a talent in the team or organisation?


Often employees get offered the following statements: "You are a talent", "You are a potential talent", "You could be in the pool of the company talents".

At the basis of the definitions of talents there is a performance management system which I will not address or explain here.


What urges to my heart is to talk to the people who being labeled as talent or non talent, or going through missed promotion or missed recognition they have started to doubt about their skills, strengths and ultimately about their worth!


In fact, what happens often is that when we do not get that specific promotion, that specific job, that specific performance rating we get upset, frustrated, angry and if it happens over and over again on a long period of time we may also get depressed.

We often associate our "worth" to the specific job role, to the name of our function in the company or to the specific recognition we are craving for!

We, therefore, start to doubt about ourselves. We think we are not good enough.


Let me tell you a truth: WE ALL HAVE TALENT!

Yes we all have.

Your job is to unfold the areas where you thrive, your passions, what is important to you, what you truly want in your life and your work and the why behind it!


Your job is to lead your life towards the horizons you choose for yourself but not before having explored what you truly want and why.

Because whatever you may be at today that led you to feel not worth is the result of multiple conditioning that has brought you perhaps far from your inner core where your truth sits.


A good leader will help you to thrive however as we are all at first leader of our life, I strongly believe it is our personal responsibility to discover areas in which we are talented and bring them to light.

It is our personal responsibility to discover what truly matters to us (values, vision, etc.) and make sure we live it.


How?

  • Stop putting your worth in the hands of an organisation or the specific person in front of you. Your worth is there always. You are worth since you were born. No metric system can change that.

  • Stop comparing yourself with others. Everyone of us has his/her own unique gifts. Your story and your path is unique and belongs to you.

  • Be curious. Just like you would be when you travel and discover something new. Just like it would be when you eat something new. Just like it would be like when you were kid. Be curious to discover what else is there, in you, for you. Start discovering the area where you shine. You are at your best when your energy flows...

  • Be courageous. Talk to your manager. Find something more suitable for you. Dare to change when it is the right time for you.

Remember, you are on the driving seat of your life!


If you want to talk more about it feel free to send me a message or schedule a free discovery session here!


Loads of fulfillment and joy to you!
