How to discover your superpowers

Remember Wonder Woman? 🦸🏼‍♀️

She can travel through the air using her invisible plane; her bracelets can channel energy to absorb and project; and she can bend objects, break through buildings, and lift heavy vehicles.

Have you ever considered your superpowers?

We all have them. They might not be Wonder Woman's magical powers, but they are powerful nevertheless. They are our unique strengths.

Whether it's your ability to empathize, your knack for solving complex problems, or perhaps your creative genius in expressing ideas, each strength is a piece of the puzzle that makes you uniquely powerful.

When we understand and embrace our unique strengths, we can more easily create a life that matches our desires and goals.

Imagine driving through an unfamiliar city without a GPS and then with a GPS showing you the most direct route. That's what leaning into your strengths does for you. It's like having a GPS for your life. It simplifies decision-making, boosts your confidence, and enhances your effectiveness in both personal and professional areas.

Focusing on what you naturally excel at increases your chances of achieving success and fulfillment ... with less effort. It also brings you more joy and satisfaction and makes your life richer and more rewarding.

So, what are your superpowers?

I invite you to set half an hour aside this weekend to think about your superpowers. Find a quiet corner in your house and pour yourself a cup of tea.

Ask yourself:

• When do I feel most alive, accomplished, or fulfilled?
• What skills do I have that others struggle with?
• What do my friends rely on me for?

You could also email a few trusted friends and colleagues and ask them to share 3-4 defining characteristics that they count on you for. You might be amazed at what they come back with.

I recently completed this exercise as part of a coaching program called The Decade Game. Here are the results ...

Christine's superpowers (according to my friends and colleagues):

• Enthusiastic, positive, fun
• Thoughtful and caring of others
• Meticulous and strong execution skills
• Fearless, decisive, and objective oriented
• Trustworthy and willing to take a stand
• Curious and lifelong learner

Discovering how others see me was a powerful exercise. And they were spot on. I definitely see myself in those descriptions, too.

So, I encourage you to take the time to explore your superpowers.

Then embrace them and watch as doors open and opportunities align in ways that seem almost magical.

I leave you with this quote by Stan Lee, the famous comic book writer and producer:

"There is nothing more powerful than showing someone their own superpowers. When people see the greatness that lies within themselves, they become unstoppable".

I want you to see your own greatness so you can become unstoppable!

Best,

Christine
