The secret about being a Hidden Hotshot…
You don’t know how your skills translate to a non-academic environment, or you feel like you don’t even have many skills to begin with. But you actually do! They’re just hidden under the surface.
The secret to turning this conundrum into an asset is to pick up your magnifying glass and look at things a little more closely.
Three strategies to find more calm and clarity in your post-PhD career…
Track your activities
Spend a few days tracking everything you do during the day. Include personal and professional activities. Pay attention to the skills you use while doing these activities AND how much you enjoy doing them (if at all).
Note your accomplishments
Keep track of everything you accomplish, from writing a perfectly worded email to publishing a paper. Making note of the big and the small is one of the best ways to uncover your skills.
Tune into your core values
I believe that values are foundational to building a meaningful and fulfilling career. Tuning into your values can be your inner compass, helping you hone in on your unique superpowers.
