• What you have. Many people think they know what they’re good at. But what they really know is how to use their gifts and talents. When your environment feels solid, it’s easy to think you use those assets to their fullest potential. The truth is you can adapt in many more ways than you realize. What you’re good at is portable. Your talents work any way you choose to use them.
• Who you are. It’s easy to assume your value during boom times. But when the going gets tough, what does that say about your contribution? A lot of people quit while they’re behind—before they see the opportunity to rebound. The value of your work is constant; it’s the environment that must change.
