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…)
