Tough (Question) Tuesday What are you not giving yourself credit for

Tough (Question) Tuesday What are you not giving yourself credit for High Five Cross Stitch by Gracey May I torture one of my Operations groups with their very first piece of homework: an exercise I call Friends and Family Findings. Just one week into our sessions, they have to send an email to at least 3 people and ask them how they inspire the other person, why the other person keeps em around, and the like. Its scary. Its anxiety-producing. And it results in feelings similar to birthday wishes and Christmas mornings, with heaps of kudos and compliments and soul-bearing truth rained upon the client (figuratively, of course). What always comes from this is seeing in black and white how people view your strengths, your offerings, your uniquity. Some are surprised by the reflection that their friends and family hold up to them, and other get reinforcement that what theyre putting into the world has been received. But often, it leads my clients to say, Huh. I thought everyone can do that. I guess Im more than just OK at it. What can you give yourself credit for that you normally dont acknowledge (that youve done today, that others tell you that you rock at, etc)?
