So I’m a screenwriter by trade, but over the years I’ve picked up some pretty specific side skills I’m certified in animal reiki (a kind of energy healing for pets) and I’m also a licensed drone pilot. I love weaving these into projects when it fits, but I’m never quite sure how to bring them up with potential clients without it sounding random or off-topic.
How do you all introduce your unique, maybe unconventional, expertise when you’re discussing a project? Do you mention it early on, or wait for a natural opening? I’d love to hear how you frame these skills as an asset rather than just an interesting footnote.
