Your experience is your talent

Perhaps you are aching for a career change, but don't know what you want to do instead? Perhaps you feel like you don't have any talents? We are more than our resume, our CV, our work experience. Sure, these things are vital in our personal and career development, but we sometimes forget to look at other experiences as something we can offer others.

Here are three questions to ask yourself if you feel like you are lacking talent:

1. What have you grown through that you can support others with?

2. What have you overcome that you can help others overcome?

3. What wounds have you healed that you can help heal in others?

Examples:

🤍A fear of public speaking

🤍Divorce

🤍Being diagnosed with an auto immune disease

🤍Dyslexia

🤍Weight loss

🤍Grief, losing a loved one

🤍Addiction

🤍Eating disorder

🤍Physical abuse

🤍Burnout 

Think back to the times when you might have gone through something challenging. Did you seek out others going though the same experience? Did you feel seen by hearing others going through something similar? What would you have wished for someone else to say at that time?

 By sharing your story, your healing, your challenges you can inspire others. That is a talent. And stop thinking ‘who am I to?’ and start thinking WHO AM I NOT TO?
