Underestimated skills

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
