We know do the same basic process but with our skills.

This is a little harder than brainstorming what we love doing.

The reason for for this is that we often don’t know what we’re good at.

Or, more accurately, once we’re good at something we stop thinking about it as something we are good at.

It becomes a given.

For example you might be a whizz at Excel. But because you are so good at Excel you no longer really think of it as a skill. It’s just…using Excel!

Because of this it’s handy to think of what people come to you with questions about. Do people come and ask you how to do pivot tables in Excel at the office? Chances are you are the Excel wizard. Whilst you are here maybe you can help me with a pivot table…

I'm trying to identify activites that I am skilled at.
 
I am struggling to list them all out and need a list that I can choose from. 

Based on these example activities please suggest other activities to help me brainstorm.

I am good at:  [my list of activities]

This outputs:

Again go ahead and copy paste all the relevant skills into a separate document. We’ll need them shortly.
