Before my 7-year old daughter had this moment of revelation, she assumed that the wiggly, translucent treat was only available in restaurants. The three exclamation points can’t even begin to capture the joy my daughter expressed upon realizing that her mom could and would make Jell-O at home.

The relevance of this anecdote to you? I suspect each of us has hidden skills that would be of interest to our co-workers, friends, customers and potential customers, if those people knew about our skills and understood how they could be of value.

Be on the lookout for appropriate opportunities to promote all the ways you can help.

(Now watch carefully as I model this behavior:) Did you realize that in addition to speech writing and creative directing corporate events, I provide a full range of creative services? These include: providing concepts and scripts for videos, consulting with individuals and organizations on communications strategy, copywriting, creative troubleshooting, and facilitating brainstorming sessions.

And my wife knows how to make Jell-O.
