You Are the Talent

Renee Griffin

You’re smart, highly educated, skilled, determined, and ready to go. So why are you frustrated? What’s holding back your success?

You may gain valuable insights on your challenges and opportunities by walking through an introspective journey with Melkeya McDuffie, an accomplished image consultant, career and leadership development coach, human resources executive, speaker, and author of the book You Are The Talent – Identifying and Harnessing Your Gifts to Achieve Career Success.

“You were created with everything that you need to be successful; you just need to ensure that you identify and harness your talents,” Melkeya writes in her book

Drawing from experiences and observations of a professional career that has spanned two decades, Melkeya delivers a compact but powerful guide that helps you explore and take action on what she considers three distinct elements for you to achieve success and optimal career satisfaction:

  • How you PRESENT yourself
  • How you PERFORM your work
  • How you PROMOTE to the next level in your career or business

“In addition,” she writes in her preface, “you will learn how to identify the difference between passion and purpose, how to determine whether you are living in your purpose, how to assess the culture of the company you work for (including your own if you are self-employed), and how to determine if your goals are in sync with your gifts.” 

Across 75 pages, You Are The Talent encourages you to consider the importance of S.Q. (style quotient) and to ask yourself, “Is it you? Or is it them?” and “Is it even worth it?” There’s a brief overview of different personality traits and how they may align with your strengths to help predict your career success. Blank notebook pages at the end of each chapter prompt you to write down your personal reflections — and perhaps a few personal action items, too.
