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.
