Staying put
Guess I'll be staying working for myself then! I'm an excellent listener but not so good at the communicating, crap at management, sales and relationships, and if I get too swamped I struggle. Luckily I recognise all my other wonderful skills that apparently aren't valued in today's society.
Possibly for the best

Possibly for the best, whilst formerly self employed individuals can make good employees I think their ability to transition back to a paid role diminishes the longer they are self employed. I have both roles but have no doubts that I would have to be on my best behaviour to survive as an employee in practice again, my current employers (My role these days is pretty autonomous) tolerate my, on occasion, foul temper (well no P45 yet) but not that sure that many others, who have not had years to fully appreciate my good points, would give me the time of day.
I am certainly a different type of communicator from twenty years ago, back then I was far more tolerant of the idiocy of clients but running a part time practice, where I do not depend on the income to pay the bills, has brought out a more abrupt. take it or leave it, attitude.
I am also poor at management and certainly not great at persuading at meetings/ getting consensus, albeit compared with a slightly older colleague, who runs the letting side of the business, I am sweetness and light; his approach to labour relations/ dealing with staff appears to predate my birth.
