Some people have it, some people don’t, but all of us can fake it. We’re talking presence, we’re talking charisma, we’re talking standing out in a crowd. You give your best, perform well and hope it gets you noticed, but while good performance is important and critical to advancing your career; unfortunately, it’s not always enough. Many of your peers are doing great work as well. You have to do, have, be something more than that to stand out from the crowd.
You were born to stand out. There is only one of you. You are one of a kind. You are a Masterpiece. You have a unique purpose in life. You have something to offer the World. You have special abilities and you are special. Don’t be a copy. You are an original. You are a winner, keep moving forward towards your goals said Thierno Abdou aka Shecky.
Be yourself. Be courageous. Let your light shine for all to see.
He says, Results speak…very loudly. People pay more attention to what you do, than what you say. What do you do exceptionally well? Can you learn to do it even better? Strive to be the go-to person whenever that skill is needed. Your skill expertise doesn’t have to be odd or complicated; it’s actually better if it’s a simple, often required, skill that you do better than others.
When you truly believe you can create what you envision, when you’re not afraid of the obstacles, that confidence will automatically make you stand out from the rest. The key is to decide what’s different about you, and then learn to capitalize on it. Pay attention to what you do best, what you bring to the table, what’s special about you. Be memorable or unique. Be remarkable and talented. Be professional and reliable. Be creative and interesting. Let what’s different about you be visible, work on cultivating that “specialness” and you will get noticed Shecky quoted.
