Erm, I've been told I'm an excellent trainer and that I'm great with groups of kids. I do love to see people learn and understand but I've never been a formal educator.
I think I am pretty average at most things. I reckon I'm good at baking. If it goes in the oven it usually comes out fine.
I reckon I'm good at crafts and sewing. I made a friend's wedding dress and hooded cape and the one for her MOH after she had seen that most of my clothes were home made. I've not sewn much for years though.
I can compose a good photograph, thanks to my mother who was a professional photographer.

I'm an excellent listener. I am genuinely interested in what you have to say, especially the details. I ask pertinent and thoughtful questions. You'd end up purging and sobbing lol.

I'm quick witted and sarcasm is my super power. I'm pretty bad about cutting with words (stabbing?). I'm working on it! I think I'm a good solid B+ at most things I do in my life. Other ppl tell me I'm an A, but I'm not. She forgot to say she is an AMAZING artist. I agree, you are quick witted and sarcastic. Two of my favorite qualities! |

I run a mean birthday party. A mom told me last week that I was "fair but firm." I can keep a smile even with 18 4-year-olds with paintbrushes. Last weekend we hit our 200th birthday party at the studio, just 3 days after our first birthday. I'm so glad things are going well with your new business. I can't believe it's been a year. |

Teaching adults. Teaching high school kids. Travel planning. Being bitchy on the Internet.

I'm good at creating relationships with my vendors and subcontractors. I'm good at mentoring our new college grads, usually young men in their first job. I've taken kids shopping, to the dentist, helped negotiate leases, etc.
I'm good at researching DH's health issues and talking to his doctors. I'm good at keeping track of all the information.
I love to organize and I'm good at it.
I'm good at recognizing what matters and what doesn't matter.
The older I get, I am becoming LESS good at smiling and nodding when someone is being a jerk.

I think I'm good at a lot of random things, but I would be most confident helping someone with stamping/paper crafts (I've been told I'm an excellent instructor), sewing, planning and hosting kid's parties, making homemade Halloween costumes, baking, and balancing messed up checkbooks.
ETA: I have a good sense about people. More than once, DH has befriended someone that I got an off vibe about but couldn't put my finger on exactly why I felt that way. Every single time I've had that gut feeling about someone I've never been wrong. It's weird.

Through experience, I know a good deal about going through courts dealing with a domestic violence situation.
I'm good at being compassionate.

We really are a very amazing group.
I want to add another:
I am an excellent de-escalator at my job or with someone else's argument. Mediation is my thing.

My strengths are product design, physical organization as well as the organization of ideas, cooking, decorating, scrapbooking, training dogs, planning trips, and remembering useless pieces of trivia.

I'm a cat whisperer who can make a mean lasagna. I also have pretty good intuition, I just need to pay better attention to it.

Besides being lazy? I'm a decent knitter.
However, I suck at giving instructions over text/email. I'm better at face to face instruction.

I am good at research and collecting information. I am good at advocating for others. I am good at reading others' emotions. I am good at holding someone's hand through a crisis. I am good at adapting when plans change unexpectedly.
