Have you ever noticed how your greatest strength…
Naked Leader Week 937 – 23 August 2021
Time to read: 23 seconds
… can also be your greatest weakness?
A Young Ambassador from The Princes Trust pointed this out to me, after attending an event – in person, pre Covid
Over a coffee, she said:
“You are a great speaker David”
I thanked her (Ego stroked)
She continued: “You would be even better if you didn’t speak quite so much”
(Pause – Ego goes into shock)
“You know what I mean David” she continued, “you get a bit carried away, you ramble, go off subject”
I thought about what she had said, and thanked her again – after all, I knew she was right
As this was mutual mentoring, I asked her if she had any suggestions on what I could do.”
After thinking for a moment, she said:
“Yes, use less words”
Is your greatest strength, at times also your greatest weakness?
With my love and best wishes to you all
David
