Episode 123: Gifts vs Skills

Becky and Diana talk about the different values we place on our gifts and skills.  We're trained to give away our gifts (talents). Just because our gifts come easily to us doesn't mean they come easy to everybody. If our talents aren't valued by certain people, we don't feel valued by them either. Our talents (gifts) set us apart from people with similar skills. What did you want to be when you grew up? Do companies really hire for soft skills? It's important to not take the hiring process personally. We can intentionally determine how much of our talent we want to give away (Becky has a budget for this). Sometimes giving our talents away for free doesn't mean we can't have a larger payout. We have to identify and name our gifts and talents so we recognize when we're giving them away.
