Jim Woodbridge – Career Coach – Job Search by Heart

Have you ever stopped to think about everything you do well without even thinking about them? Those things that come so naturally to you that you don’t even realize they are skills? These are your unconscious competencies, and they are powerful tools that can help you unlock your true potential.

Many people are more impressive than they know, simply because they haven’t taken the time to recognize their masteries. If you take a moment to list the things you do well without thinking about them, you might be surprised at what you discover. These skills come so quickly to you that you might not even realize they are skills at all.

The power of unconscious competencies lies in their ability to help us tap into our hidden potential. When we recognize our masteries, we can begin to own them and present them to others in a way that showcases our true abilities. This can lead to tremendous success in both our personal and professional lives.

So how can you discover your unconscious competencies? Here are a few tips:

1. Pay attention to what comes naturally to you

Take note of the tasks that come quickly and don’t require much effort. These are likely areas where you have a natural talent or skill.

2. Ask for feedback from others

Sometimes it can be hard to recognize our strengths. Ask friends, family members, or colleagues for feedback on what they think you do well.

3. Reflect on past successes

Remember when you achieved something remarkable or accomplished a difficult task. What skills did you use to make that happen?

4. Try new things

Sometimes we discover our hidden talents when we step outside our comfort zone and try something new. So take on a new challenge or hobby and see what skills you develop.

Once you have identified your unconscious competencies, it’s important to own them and present them in a way that showcases your true abilities. This can be done by highlighting these skills on your resume, during job interviews, or simply sharing them with friends and family.

Remember, everyone has hidden talents and skills they may not even realize they possess. By taking the time to discover your unconscious competencies, you can unlock your full potential and achieve tremendous success in all areas of your life.

So, as you move forward on your job search journey, remember that you’re not just trying to find any job—you’re aiming to do what you love and find those who love what you do. Embrace positivity, expand your vision, and build resources that last.
