Use your strengths in public. Work on your weaknesses where it’s safe to fail.

Visibility and improvement want different conditions. Getting better requires failing repeatedly, which is miserable with an audience, while your reputation is built on the things you can already do well. Mixing them up means either hiding your strengths or practising your weaknesses in front of people whose opinion you care about.

Pick where each one happens on purpose. Lead with what you are good at when it counts, and work on the weak thing at home, in a side group, or with one person who will not make it a story.
