Key Career Trait 14 : POWER SKILLS

THE TALENT TO EFFECTIVELY CONSOLIDATE AND UTILIZE RESOURCES

Your ability to provide the right resources at the right time makes you an invaluable asset in projects. Whether it’s organizing financial resources or connecting colleagues with the right support, you know exactly what is needed. Particularly in creative projects, your perseverance and dedication can secure long-term success. It is easy for you to motivate people and inspire them for a shared vision when you are personally invested in your task. Your energy is most fully realized when you are supporting projects that truly matter to you and where you can contribute all your skills. By focusing on what matters most, you help implement complex projects efficiently and successfully.

Being competent is about being able to perform a task with complete confidence, precision and excellence due to you being in tune with your natural rhythms and reasons. Competency is a byproduct of you being on purpose, pursuing your passion. We like to think that we can teach or learn a competency, but the truth is, like happiness, true competence is an inside job. Competency is beyond a skill set, beyond proficiency, expertise, abilities, or aptitude. By being aligned with the genius in your genes and expressing your specific competencies, you operate in integrity as a default. With integrity you only sell products, goods, or services that you would buy and the universal reward for that is prosperity.

With Trait 14, the skill of Resourcefulness and Competence indicated in your Design Chart, you are a powerful, sought after team player because you are not designed to compromise who you are. Competency is the main ingredient of any successful business, department, or team. A competent team cannot contain individual members who have compromised themselves. You are able to contribute your uniqueness which adds value to whatever you are working on. You are the driving force that can implement a vision. If you are sold on it, you can rally the troops to get the vision off of the drawing board and into reality. It doesn't matter if you lead the pack or not, what's important is that you are respected as an individual who is a creative resource. Your individuality and independence is what attracted them to you when you got offered the job or the invitation to join the team. They are counting on you to add value to the environment with your specific passion and competencies. Your contagious energy benefits everyone and everything around you, when you are aligned you have the Midas touch.

Prosperous business or career opportunities cannot find you if you settle and compromise because you'd be in a position as a follower instead of an originator. Whether you are a leader or not you are designed to only follow what feels good to your gut instincts. That is the secret to your success because that fire in your belly is where the keys to your prosperity are located. Whatever your definition of success is you will experience that as a byproduct of you doing what sparks joy for you through your specific spark of genius. As a leader, assigning tasks to employees who have no interest or inherent skill aligned with the task at hand will ensure mediocre and stale outcomes at best.

Character and Professional Development:

It is important that you only invest your energy where it is truly needed and where you can identify with it. Rather than being led by external expectations, you should trust that your natural enthusiasm will attract the necessary resources and supporters. Your talent lies in strengthening projects that align with your beliefs and helping teams reach their full potential. When you use this strength wisely, you are able to achieve sustainable success without overwhelming yourself. Your work is not only effective but also inspiring because it arises from an authentic drive.

SIX STAGES OF DEVELOPING CAREER TRAIT 14:

Stage 1- SCRUPULOUSNESS: The understanding of how to use your resources in a way that aligns with your beliefs and principles. This line quality is the quiet collector — building value steadily, sustainably, and with long-range awareness. You sense what has lasting worth and create stability by honoring the slow burn. It says, "“Let’s invest in the resources that compound over time, not the ones that disappear by next quarter.”

Stage 2- CONSULTATION: The ability to discern when to seek external expertise versus when to rely on your own knowledge and skills for success. 14.2 brings adaptability to resource management. You know when to shift, redistribute, or repurpose energy so the team can keep moving without burnout or waste. It says, “If this approach isn’t working, let’s adjust the plan. Our resources follow our strategy — not the other way around.”

Stage 3- SERVICE: This line understands both abundance and the humbling moments of “not enough.” Through these experiences, 14.3 learns the deeper truth of resources: sometimes the greatest power isn’t what you accumulate but what you share. This is the energy of supporting others simply because it feels right — offering help, time, or guidance with no expectation of return. It says: “Even if we’re stretched thin, let’s find the small ways we can support others — generosity creates momentum that resources alone can’t.”

Stage 4- INFRASTRUCTURE: The ability to create and establish a strong and stable foundation for one's material well-being. For example, being able to plan and save for the future, and to make smart financial decisions that lead to long-term stability and security. This line shows how power amplifies character, how purpose fuels prosperity. It says: “Resources are only powerful when they support our shared mission. Let’s use what we have to elevate the whole team.”

Stage 5- POISE: Having the confidence and belief in yourself to know how to use your abilities and talents effectively. This line holds unwavering focus. It’s the energy of someone who knows their lane and stays in it — not stubbornly, but with grounded self-trust. That consistency becomes magnetic. It says: “We don’t need to chase every opportunity. Let’s stay aligned with what we do best.”

Stage 6- HUMILITY: Staying humble and thankful even when you've achieved material success or wealth. In its highest expression, this line holds resources generously, wisely, and with a vision for shared success. People thrive around you because they feel resourced by your presence. It says, “Let’s make sure everyone has what they need to shine — the team succeeds when each person is supported.”
