"However, he has retained all his lawyerly skills related to paying close attention to paperwork requirements, dates, and appeals processes. He has moved overseas and is renovating some property while dealing with local building regulations. He's much more skilled than the average person at navigating cumbersome processes. Now that he's away from the stress of being a lawyer for a big firm, he's also a patient guy."
"A personal example is that I like technology and automation, and I'm extremely persistent. I'll spend twice as long automating something as it would take to do it manually. That can seem like a waste of time, but pieces of old projects often become useful later. This could be tools I spent a ridiculous amount of time battling to figure out, or memories of how I finally got something to work after hours of trying."
Strength stacking is the process of combining multiple strengths so their combined effect exceeds the sum of individual parts. Strengths include skills, knowledge, experience, and temperament, and new strengths accumulate through life and carry into new endeavors. Diverse roles and life challenges reveal overlooked or unusual strengths that become powerful when combined. Examples include a former lawyer who leverages legal attention to detail, procedural knowledge, patience, and willingness to navigate foreign regulations to renovate overseas property, and a persistent technologist who invests time automating tasks that later pay off.
