You know, I cringe at my superpowers, move people out of the way line in my description. And I will leave it up for now. Just as my brother calls me the absent-minded professor. My boss calls me on my inattention to details. And my cousin called me on my statement, "i lack spontaniety." She said I do have spontaneous moments when it comes to what I want to do; however woe to the person who suggests a spontaneous idea to me.
Then I get planful.
So I own my subterranean...well not so below the surface, desire for power. I swear I'd only use it for good!
And my proclivity to leave some details out, or make a mistake or two in my focus on speed vs effectiveness or wanting to stay in the bigger picture with a distaste for being in the weeds.
And that, along with all my amazing attributes, makes up my authentic brand.
Then I have to find a way to communicate it in a helpful way with other stakeholders. My new supervisor and colleagues, etc. And we have to find a way to work successfully together where I get coverage for my stuff. E.g. I may need to double-check lists twice before submitting them, etc.
If I say I'm detail-oriented to people please...that's when I get in big trouble.
