I have been watching BGT with my family Britain’s Got Talent 2022 recap! Watch all of the auditions from episode two online | Reality TV | TellyMix. I like the ventriloquists, singers, dancers, illusionists and the odd dog act. As I watched I was full of wonder that all these people have found one of their superpowers. They have discovered that they can dance, sing and train dogs to do things they never thought possible. Each and every one of them are truly amazing. To stand up in front of your peers and do something that you never thought you could do is challenging. You know those acts!

But what has made them decide to go on national television and showcase what they can do? For some it is a decision that is as natural as breathing. Of-course they believe “why would I not go on TV and show what I can do”. For the majority I think it is difficult decision. Last night there was a singer whose children and mother went on stage to cajole him into getting up and singing. He did in fact get up and sing and made us all cry with his heartfelt song he had written himself about his beautiful daughters. But in order to have stood up and done that it needed his family to get on stage and ask him to sing.

With clients I have found that part of the issue is RECOGNISING their superpower. It is also BELIEVING that they have a superpower in the first place. We all have them after all. We might think, in passing, that we are a people person or great organiser or we can think through a problem logically. It is easy for us to dismiss these as powers as we see there are always others that are better than us. We get bogged down in day-to-day life and we react to what comes our way. We have no direction to laser focus our superpowers. Hence these amazing powers are not used to the best of our ability. We cannot become Super.

How can you harness your superpower?

Do you believe you have a superpower? If the answer is “no”, then you cannot harness it. Where can you find your superpower? You could try a google search or a chat with your bestie (with coffee and cake of-course). A chat with your mum or husband/wife could help. When I have asked my nearest and dearest about my superpower they have said that my shopping abilities are of Olympian standard. Not quite what I had in mind!

Recognising that they have a superpower and then unlocking its potential can be a life-changing event. I have found clients really appreciate and value having time and space to find their powers.

What’s your Superpower and what can it do for you?

If you know your superpower, then you know what you are brilliant at. But in my experience, that does not necessarily mean it will help you take the next step forward. Just realising you have a superpower will not help you decide what jobs/aspect of your job you will excel at. It will not help you decide on next steps, career decisions and even which relationships you will thrive in. Coaching will.
