Lesson 6 Spot Your Talents with the 5 Clues to Talent

There are 5 clues that can help us spot a talent, see The 5 Clues to Talent Diagram on Page 8 of your Black Workbook.  They are…

  • Yearning The pull or attraction to one activity rather than another.  "What do you know you can do well, but haven't yet done?"

  • Rapid Learning Patterns so ingrained in our DNA that they open pathways of understanding "What have you done well that you didn't need explained?"

  • Glimpses of Excellence Others may offer clues to our own talent in the ways they recognize us "What have other people told you you're great at doing?"

  • Satisfaction Activities or opportunities that we genuinely enjoy "What sorts of activities do you finish and think, 'I can't wait to do that again'?"

  • Flow Total performance excellence "What are you doing when time seems to disappear?"
