He is the creator of WooTube, that's W-O-O-T-U-B-E on YouTube, and he has over 600,000 subscribers.

And his book is called It's a Numberful World, How Math is Hiding Everywhere.

And there's a link to that book in the show notes.

Thanks, Eddie.

So in the workplace, there are 12 basic skills.

You're likely excellent at a few of them, mediocre at several of them, and really bad at a couple of them.

So let's see if you can identify your weakest ones.

Here are the 12 skills.

Self-restraint, working memory, emotion control, focus, task initiation, planning and prioritization, organization, time management, defining and achieving goals, flexibility, observation, and stress tolerance.

And you may want to hit that little rewind thing and play that list back.

Because here's why it's important to identify your weakest ones.

They're not very changeable.

Yes, you can improve on them, but if you're really bad at some of these skills, it's going to be very hard to get good at them.

So they should not be part of your job description.

Instead, your job should include the two or three skills that you're really great at.

Interestingly, in a survey of 2,000 workers, the majority of people said their job did not play to their strengths.

This is all according to Chuck Martin, who wrote a book called Smarts.

And that is something you should know.

I certainly, I really do appreciate the fact that you take time to listen to this podcast.

It means a lot.
