Description

Most people have no real clue what talents are, let alone what their talents are.  


They think that with enough practice almost everything is learnable. 


They don't actively seek knowledge and skills to enhance their talents.  Rather, they fall into the trap of trying to acquire as much knowledge and as many skills as they are able in the hope of bettering themselves in some general way.  


To build your strengths you must avoid this trap.  


Don't sign up blindly those well-meaning but misguided classes for leadership, public speaking, listening or empathy skills training or any other training and expect any dramatic improvement. 


Unless you have the necessary talent, your improvements will be minimal.  


You will be diverting most of your energy toward damage control and very little toward real development.  


Identify your dominant talents and then in a focused way acquire the knowledge and skills to fully unpack and activate your rod.
