Each dyslexic has a different pattern of strengths and challenges. We score very high in some things - often in the top percentiles. But in the areas we find challenging, we score very low - often in the bottom percentiles. That's why it's vital, in the workplace, that we focus on our strengths - the things that we're naturally good at - and delegate our challenges.  Don't try to be Superwoman/Superman. Spending hours trying to get better at things you find difficult really isn't productive.  Delegate or ask for help. Your kryptonite will be someone else's superpower.

I have always operated like this and never actually put this together with being dyslexic, but makes perfect sense! There is always a requirement to upskill in areas that you could do with improvement, but if you can pour most of your time into the things you excel at, surely it's common sense to delegate (when appropriate) items of work where you struggle or others would excel at.

This is their superpower. They learned at very young age to observe others and environments. Therefore, they are able to translate this information to conquer and succeed!

I build now my own tools with flowrabbit.ai to delegate the tasks to ai i am not good at and this is writing xD

Absolutely! Tapping into children's strengths and supporting difficulties early on is key to maximising their potential. Adults have a role in helping them to understand they don't have to be good at everything. This is leading by example, thank you. 🙌

That’s an exceptional quote and sums up my son perfectly. He’s in Y7 and already known as the guy that brings the magic to group PowerPoint presentations doesn’t write the text. I love this. Thanks for sharing.

I agree! My dyslexic got easier as I grown 8n wisdom as that have I learn experience watching, repeating .and that need time to develop as I grew. But also know as it wasn't understood by my teachers I was busy in my brain watching out foe those people that made me feel worse with this .as I new I 2s missing something and diffent to friends in some ways .as there were a few adults that stated this over the early years and it blame on glue ear, eye sight. Today it's,my extra clever move. O learn to work it my way. And not judge myself as I was told many times over as stupid, I was told off for not reading in class , highlight to class age 8/9 and told to sit under desk on floor.shocking really early1982 ish. Today more is understood but still more to come am sure .

What an excellent quote. The business world is full of people who do not play to their strengths and find it very difficult to recognise their limitations. Not a great recipe for success.

Couldn’t agree more, and it applies more broadly to neurodiverse individuals.
