Just Because You Can, Doesn't Mean You Should

For example, you might:

🔶Have an impressive technical skill, but it bores you

🔶Deliver inspirational speeches, but it drains you

🔶Have an amazing attention to detail, but you're in a strategic role

🔶Be a great people leader, but love solving technical problems

🔶Be capable of a bigger role, but are craving more time for life

Spending too much time on what you're good at, at the expense of what you're great at or longing for, isn't sustainable in the long term as it's a drain on your internal resources. Your energy, your time, your satisfaction levels.

It's also not bringing out the best that you have to offer.

Choosing to do less of what you're really good at can be quite confronting and requires deliberate effort to shift.

It means letting go of things you're known for, things that are easy to do, or saying no to things you've always said yes to.

It means being very clear on your values and what you care about most.

Stepping up into your true value requires a re-assessment and re-calibration of what you do and how you do it.

The enormous upside is that you make the greatest return on investment of your most precious resources - time and energy. Frustration recedes, satisfaction soars and you're adding more value to others as well.

👉 What about you - what's something you can do really well, but it's time to let go of?
