What is your super power?

Interesting Seth Godin blog, “What’s your super power?” has got me thinking, what is my super power? Simply introducing myself as: “Hi, my name is Blake Wagner, I’m an architect with InterDesign,” doesn’t quite cut it. This has been my introduction for a couple years, and hardy anyone remembers who I am. While the title has an air of superiority around it for some people, others see me as just another service provider. Perhaps my super power should be “I get things done” or “I’m good at breaking down tasks into manageable pieces.” I would hope my super power would include my love and appreciation for music and the arts, but now let’s get real. What makes me different? Why do I find myself with so many obligations? I think my weakness is “I don’t know how to say no.” Well, here is the superpower I’ll try on for size the next time I meet someone new: “Hi, my name is Blake, I design buildings and am working towards running my own firm someday.” That just about sums up my life right now. Not very memorable, but honest. What is your super power?
