Coaching Corner: You are a Genius!
By Master Coach Marilou Butcher Roth
Each of us innately has genius qualities. Yes, I said it—you're a genius! Your IQ doesn't need to be incredible to possess genius qualities; we all have them. We often tell ourselves that activities we dislike can be improved if we try harder. Well, that may be true in a few cases, but overall, forcing ourselves into doing something that requires extreme effort is counterproductive!
What do you do that really excites you, that you are good at, and enjoy? Perhaps you are amazing with people skills, but not so much at paperwork or organization. You may love creating and connecting, or maybe you enjoy spreadsheets, details, or caring for animals. Whatever brings you joy and satisfaction is your natural genius. Think about which activities are most pleasing to you, and then determine how you will handle the ones that aren't. You may be in a position to hire someone to assist you with those things, or you could work with someone who balances your skill set with their own type of genius.
Be open to possibilities and embrace your genius qualities!
