Flip how you use ChatGPT to find your consulting superpower
Remember, ChatGPT is a language model. It does not “know” you. You don’t have to accept every insight it produces. The value comes from being honest in your answers and taking the time to reflect on them.
Most people ask ChatGPT questions.
Instead, let ChatGPT ask you questions. You might uncover blind spots, your consulting superpower, or something you never realised about yourself.
We all have abilities we undervalue because they feel “normal” to us. They’re not normal. They are your differentiators, your consulting edge.
The trick is spotting them.
Tips
Before you do this, consider these tips.
- Don’t rush.
- Be honest.

Your turn. Try This Script
“Help me uncover my consulting superpower, the one that sets me apart, even if I haven’t fully noticed it yet.
Ask me about my background, the projects I’ve delivered, and the wins I’m proud of. Dig into what made those wins possible: the way I think, how I work with people, how I solve problems, or how I bring clarity to complexity.
After each answer, call out the strengths, patterns, and rare skills I might be underestimating. Push me to see what others already value in me, but I might take for granted.
Then give me 3–5 specific ‘superpowers’ I can claim with confidence. For each one, show me practical ways to use it more intentionally in my day to day consulting work, in how I deliver for clients, in shaping my career path, and in building my professional brand.
By the end, I should know the unique edge I bring to any project, and how to play those superpowers.”
