Part 1: Talent Worksheet

You learned in your Life Skill Lesson this week that everyone has been given a unique set of gifts
and talents. We come to earth with some, but many come with time as we grow and develop them
through practice and life experience.
To complete you talent worksheet, take a moment to list ten talents you have in the left-hand
column below. They can (and should) range from personal talents (i.e. having self-control,
forgiving easily, sustaining Church leaders, being cheerful, etc.) to artistic and creative talents (i.e.
singing, baking, storytelling, gardening, etc.).
Next, find someone you have a significant relationship with (i.e. brother, spouse, parent, close
friend, etc.), and ask them to list ten talents they believe you have. Do not reveal to them the list
of talents you created for yourself. Also, give them space and time to think about your talents and
write them down so they can hand them back to you for review.
Record those ten talents they listed in the right-hand column of the worksheet below.

list? Which one? Why do you think your friend/family member did not list them?

Yes, they didn’t mention skating, persevering, I learn quickly, gastronomy, customer service. I
think because they are facets of my life that are known by many people.

3. Are there any talents your friend/family member listed for you that were not on your own
list? Which ones?
Yes. They mention Dance, writing, patience, active listening, researcher, leader, public speaker.
I think that reason it’s because I’m don’t feel so secure about them.

4. What new insights have you gained from this activity?

Sometimes we do not notice that there are things that we do that can be admired by others and
that we are not paying as much attention to it. I always want to keep doing and trying to
do new things, and in this way I discovered new talents that can bless my life and the
lives of others, relationships with others are essential for this purpose.
