このコンテンツについて
Ever watched someone speak, lead, or perform and thought, “Wait… that’s it? I could do that!”
Except of course, you couldn’t.
This episode of The Fink Tank is about deceptive simplicity. Watching mastery is often marvelling at how simple it looks in its final form!
And it works both ways, because here’s the thing we forget:
The stuff that feels easy to you now is usually the most valuable to someone else. The stuff that looks effortless because it’s been practiced into your bones.
You’ve done it so many times, you barely notice the skill anymore. But that’s the gold. That’s what people actually need from you.
As Digby Scott succinctly puts it, “meet ‘em where they’re at”

Also, I’m feeling a bit of discomfort writing this. Because @Col has used ME as the metaphor!
Antipodean culture spurns blowhards. We’re taught to avoid being the hero in our own story.
But I also believe in owning your expertise. Downplaying effort and practice benefits nobody.
In saying “Yeah, I’m good at this” without being a wanker about it.
