"He got burnt out and disillusioned, and left the profession. 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."
"What Is Strength Stacking? Strength stacking occurs when the combination of several of your strengths is greater than the sum of their parts. What Strengths Can You Stack? Think of strengths you can stack in several buckets: Skills. Knowledge. Experience. Nature (e.g., temperament, likes, interests). As we move through life we develop new strengths, which we then carry forward to our new endeavors."
Strength stacking means combining multiple personal strengths so the combined effect exceeds their individual contributions. Strengths that can be stacked include skills, knowledge, experience, and aspects of nature such as temperament, likes, and interests. Life experience continuously builds new strengths that carry into future endeavors. Examples show a former lawyer whose paperwork attention, process-navigation skills, patience, and overseas experience enable him to tackle complex foreign real estate projects. Another example shows a persistent technologist who invests extra time automating tasks and whose accumulated tools and problem-solving persistence pay off later. Strength stacks unlock uncommon problem-solving and opportunity-seeking abilities.
