What Comes Easy Might Be Your Superpower #314

Hey Friend!

Have you ever said, “It’s just something I do” when someone complimented you on a skill or strength? I know I have. For a long time, I overlooked the things that came naturally to me—thinking they didn’t really count because they felt easy. But what if that ease is actually the clue to your zone of genius?

In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story (inspired by a sweet question from my kids) and a powerful conversation with a client who realized she’d been dismissing the very thing that made her magnetic. If you’ve ever downplayed your strengths or struggled to see what makes you different, this episode is for you.

Let’s take a closer look at what you’re carrying so naturally... and maybe, just maybe, stop calling it “nothing.”

You’re not behind—you’re just starting to see it clearly.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• Just because it’s easy for you doesn’t mean it’s easy for others. That might be your zone of genius.
• Leadership blind spots often come from what we assume is “normal.”
• Three leadership assumption traps to avoid:

1. The Normalization Trap: Thinking everyone thinks and acts like you.
2. Strength Blindness: Dismissing your gifts because they come effortlessly.
3. The Perception Gap: Seeing only from your lens limits your impact.

Self-awareness isn't self-indulgent—it's a leadership skill. You don’t have to carry it all. Leading is about cultivating clarity, not making clones. ✨ The One Thing You Don’t Want to Miss:

➡️ You may be overlooking your most powerful leadership strengths simply because they come naturally. Recognizing and owning what comes easy could be the key to unlocking your next level.

💪 Challenge if you choose to accept it:

Start noticing the things others praise you for but you tend to downplay. Write them down. This week, choose one to name, own, and use with intention.
