Seeking Hedgehog Feedback

As you may recall, I defined my Hedgehog Concept by determining what I can be the best in the world at. I was able to accomplish this by understanding some of my best qualities. I’ve learned that the easiest and most effective way to define hese positive attributes is to look to others for feedback.

Please provide me with three examples of how I add value by completing the following statements…

One of the ways you add value and make important contributions is:

For example, I think of that time that:

In my case, 11 people responded with nearly 30 definite examples of me at my best. I found that the hardest part is then analyzing this data and really determining which traits best describe yourself.

About Devin Reams

My name is Devin Reams and I founded this site to provide a useful news and review resource for Colorado skiers and snowboarders (and mountain enthusiasts). I've been skiing since I was a little kid (we moved out here when I was five years old) and I plan to ski for years beyond that. Although cosnow is not my full-time job it is my full-time winter hobby. I've been an "Epic Local" passholder since 2006 (when it was called a "Colorado Pass" or "Five Mountain Pass"). My favorite resorts are Beaver Creek and Breckenridge.
