The strange thing about self-branding and identifying one's own talents is this: when we're using our inherent talents, it doesn't feel as if we are working. As a result, people have a tough time seeing the value in what they do. The human condition is prone to viewing work as somewhat of a struggle. When we're not struggling, we de-value what we're doing and don't make an accurate self-assessment. I like your "lucky moments" approach to get people talking and then stepping back and synthesizing what you are hearing. Although I rarely submit a URL within a comment, I think you'll enjoy this one in the context of your self-management series: It's about "What You Can't Not Do." http://www.allthingsworkplace.com/2007/03/success_weaknes.html Looking forward to the rest of your posts.
