Sir i have talent. I got skills but will i be successful with these? This question was asked to me by a diligent, cosmopolitan and pretty office assistant (messenger and photocopying in-charge).Due to limited time ( we where in the elevator) i gave her an instant and straight to the point piece of advice which i believed would help her because i have proven it my self in the lives of leaders and managers i have known. Heres the down to earth, humble and simple answer that i gave her.
" My dear, success can be achieved not just by the potential and skills that you have but it is the execution of that potential and talent that will bring you to it. You also need the appropriate training and discipline to empower those skills.These trainings will make your potentials grow and develop into hard edged skills."
Curious like a cat she asked me another questions..." Can you help me?" (with intense facial and voice expression) Seeing on her face the deep desire to really become successful in her career and life, i uttered these few words..." It is impossible to help a person become what she can become if she doesn't have the enthusiasm and fundamental desire and commitment to take the action necessary to make success happen.."(not really few right?) ha ha ha.
That woman take action. She let me coach her.And now shes no longer an office assistant but an HR Assistant.
You got what it takes to be successful. Grow your talent. Polish your skills.Don't just be familiar with it. Grow it! Make a decision... in the elevator or where ever.
Much Cares,
Neil
