Did you ever have a moment in your past when you sensed an internal spark? A time when you knew you were tapping into one of your innate talents? When you were operating in your “zone” and felt fully alive?

In this week’s podcast I talk about a time when that happened for me. It’s when both my love for communicating and my ability to see different perspectives came together at an opportune moment. It was like I was listening to myself talk as an audience member instead of as the speaker.

Maybe something like that happened for you while you were playing a sport. Or maybe you applied yourself to a project and were really proud of the result. Did you once try something beyond your ability only to discover that you had hidden talents, didn’t give up, and ultimately silenced all the naysayers?

These are all moments from your past that are sending you powerful clues about your destiny. The problem is, they get buried amid all the negativity, failures, and mundane obligations of everyday living.

In this episode I’ll show you a powerful exercise that helps you identify those clues, and then string them together to point a path to your destiny. I also tell some encouraging stories from my clients who have gone through the process.

As always, I’m cheering you on to achieve your God-given potential so you can make the most impact in the world. Let me know how it’s helped you askpete@petecoaching.com

Are your exceptional talents hiding in plain sight?

As I was driving down the Palisades Parkway checking my side and rearview mirrors, I started think about blindspots.

We typically think about personality blindspots in a negative sense, and rightly so.  Jesus says in Matthew 7:3, “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the log in your own eye?"  It's easier to see faults in others than it is to see them in ourselves.

But what about our talents?  My clients have shown me firsthand that many of them are unaware of their exceptional talents.  Or, if they are aware, they greatly undervalue them.  And I tend to do the same thing.
Unfortunately, that can lead to bigger problems than you might think.
