Share five things you’re good at.
I attended a three-hour business zoom meeting last night for my church. We are an elected, unpaid executive board. Someone else was running the meeting and honestly, it was pretty bad…poorly organized and inefficient. We spent an excessive amount of time on non-issues and didn’t even get to the important items until 9:15pm.
I’m realizing that even though I’m good at it, I don’t want to do volunteer roles like this. If I’m going to do “work work,” I want to be paid. If I’m going to volunteer, I want it to be fun.
I still managed to accomplish several things for the church during the meeting using my business skills:
- Perceptiveness (understanding situations clearly)
- Prioritizing
- Speaking directly
- Writing succinctly
- Getting shit done
I have fully recovered from whatever Imposter Syndrome I may have had when I was younger (see yesterday’s post).

Three hours… that’s a long time for a call! Sounds excruciating. Jump off that ship Mary!
