What is a Talent Plus Person?🇧🇼

• Tshidi M Wyllie • Season 2 • Episode 23


 What is a talent Plus Individual.
A talent plus person is a person who possesses a talent but is aware that his/her talent alone is not enough, therefore such a person does not only rely on the talent/gift, but incorporates other critical competencies or attributes into their pursuit of success. I have seen people with great talent who miss the point by allowing pride & fame to influence their judgement, relationships etc and allow it to escalate into arrogance because of their fame status, and end up losing it all or tarnishing their image. 
A talent plus individual is well rounded; is aware that regardless of the talent, fame & success they still need other people and the Creator. Such a person enhances themselves with competencies like determination, commitment, perseverance, vision, mission, passion, faith in Self, communication, emotional intelligence, assertiveness, initiative/innovation, etc in order to succeed or survive in life. 
There are certain things that despite our talent, if they are missing we’ll come crushing down e.g emotional self-regulation/ emotional management, financial management and people skills among others. Talent+ person is self-explanatory; in a nutshell, it refers to an individual who has talent and other skills that helps to energize the talent in order to achieve goals. 

Above all is self-awareness and awareness of others ( Emotional Intelligence competencies) because success is built through people and with people and therefore self-awareness is critical. 
Rhetorically consider these questions and introspect:
Who are You?
How do you relate with other people?
How do you communicate with people?
Do you have the awareness that other people regardless of status have feelings too?
The way you treat people, if you received similar treatment how will that be like for you?
