This topic from Long and Short Reviews was an interesting one. My husband would probably say my most unique talent is the ability to make a mess and not notice, a talent I share with my two cats. While he has a point there, it's probably not that unique. In fact, I'm struggling to think of one that truly is.
The one thing that I did think of was related to my day job as an admin. I have a gift for organisation. I am very good at arranging meetings, having all the paperwork in order, planning residentials. And something that for some reason seemed to floor people I had meetings with - I could always anticipate them.
What that last means in real terms is that somebody would be holding forth on a particular topic and would need a particular document to prove their point. At the moment they needed it they would turn to me to ask for it and I would already be holding it out for them. Apparently people don't realise just how predictable they can be in these situations - or maybe it was just that I had been reading their paperwork for ages and knew it inside out.
So what unique talent do you have?
Being organized is a wonderful talent!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's definitely underappreciated.
DeleteThat actually is a very cool talent.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's one I had a lot of time to practise.
DeleteGreat talent. I envy you.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had your talent... I could use it (re: making a mess...lol... I DO share that one!!) My post is here if you want to come by.
ReplyDeleteYes, I just need to apply my organising to the mess :)
DeleteOrganisation is a super power, let alone a unique talent!
ReplyDeleteThank you - it's a good one to have!
