I just realized. A skillset I think I have - that seems to be rare - is spotting and remembering important and valuable things in places that others normally wouldn't
E.g. persuasion and marketing tactics and also coaching methods, by remembering what one Imam said in a video I saw years ago, just because it seems to be true over and over - that if you see someone doing something 99% not good, but 1% good, try to find that 1% good and give praise to it and then ask for more good.
Positive, informative reinforcement works better than broad negative penalties - this is something that essentially everyone in ML knows, but the ones who consistently and generally apply it, including to themselves, seem rare
