What Are My Talents And Gifts Is A Frequently Asked Question! So How Do You Define Them?

When people ask what are my talents and gifts? They are looking for inspiration on how to define them. Here are some formulas to use to discover the best version of yourself.

Within my roles of being a coach, mentor and trainer there is a common question that I am asked. That is “what are my talents and gifts”? The facts are that we are all special in many ways, some are common, and others are unique to us.

Basic talents such as reading, writing and arithmetic are all taught to us from an early age at school. That is why we have education systems in place, but it also teaches many life and social skills. The aim is that we continue to master these life skills throughout our entire lives and then pass them onto others. But we have many more which need to be unearthed so that we can become the best version of ourselves.

Before we investigate how you can define what your talents are, I want to look at what makes us up as a person. They are what we are good in practical terms and what make up our personality that ultimately defines us.

What Is Natural Talent?

Natural talent is an expression that is commonly used in many areas of life. People can just do things with, what seems, very little effort and there is no reasoning behind it.

For example, look at artists, musicians, athletes and the list goes on! They pick things up and run with it with no comprehension on how they can do it. Us mere mortals look on with astonishment wishing we could do that and not understanding why we can’t.

We then try to master their skills through practice but at the end of the day we won’t be as good as them. We haven’t got the natural talent that they have.

The thing is though that you yourself have natural talents that those people don’t, and they will be thinking the same about you! So, don’t be too down on yourself.

The other side to natural talent is what makes up our personality and how we are as a person. I am talking about our inner strengths emotionally and psychologically. Some people are born leaders and have great determination and perseverance. Other people are born listeners who can show compassion and say the right thing at the right time.

What it comes to at the end of the day is that we all have natural talents, but they are defined into levels. Some people have higher levels than others, that is just life.

So, When You Are Asking Yourself What Are My Talents And Gifts? Look At What Has Led You To This Point In Your Life!

Whatever point in your life you are at right now means that you have a history that has got you here. Your life story is, and will be, your legacy that you leave when the final curtain comes down.

So, it is time for you to sit back and take a long hard look at yourself to define what you are good at. Also, it is a chance for you to determine what needs improvement because that will influence your future.

Life in general can be clinical and we pigeonhole what we have done into two categories. They are our success and failures which seems to be a common barometer.

I would say look at the successes that you have had in life first. Go back as far as you want to, but I would suggest right back to when you were a child. Once you have done this you will have a huge list of what you have succeeded at but that is only the start. The important thing is to determine what made you succeed and that is where you will find you true talents and gifts.

Look At Failure As A Positive

Now it is time to pinpoint at your failures and that is not to be looked upon negatively. We have all failed multiple times in our lives, but it is an ugly word. There is another way of looking at it because you have found out how not to do something! This is a talent and gift in itself!

The probability is that you have turned many of those failures into successes so that is another thing to look at. What did you do to turn things around?

When you do exercises like this you will be amazed at what your talents and gifts are. You will develop a completely different outlook on life which you can use to help other people. Maybe this is your ultimate talent. The ability to impact another person’s life for the better!

The Build Your AU Mastermind Program

After all this you may find that you still need a little more help to bring your talents and gifts to the fore. Sometimes us as humans can’t see what is right in front of our eyes but other people can!

My Build Your AU Mastermind program empowers people to find their true self and meaning in life. We do this by teaching you how to tell your story in a safe environment with other people who have done the same. So why is this so powerful?

By allowing other like-minded people into your life, they will tell you what your talents and gifts are. When people look in from the outside, they can be totally honest with you. You may think you are good at something but in reality, you are better at something else.

But it is not all about you because you will have the opportunity to enter their lives as well and give your opinion. We work like this because we all find our voice and who we are. The mission is that we all grow as people by helping each other along the way. We are having an impact made on us by making an impact on others.

The result is very simple, and I have broken it down into three elements which are the core of the Build Your AU Mastermind. You will establish you authority status which comes from expressing your authenticity which then defines who you audience is!
