Why this topic matters

One of the most important steps in career planning is understanding what you bring to the table. However, many people struggle to identify their strengths because they assume everyone can do what they do. The reality is that our skills and strengths often become so familiar that we overlook them. Start focusing on the value you already possess, not on what you don't have yet.
