Some underestimated skills…

• Overcoming inertia (and tricking yourself into feeling momentum)
• Choosing the best time to take a break - and taking it
• Responding instead of reacting
• Asking for help clearly and succinctly
• Selecting metaphors that land with everyone in the room
• Ignoring and discarding certain advice
• Crafting the questions that can get under the surface
• Waiting to speak last

What else?

(Yes, these are all skills I need to build…)
