Develop Your Strengths!
How many of you have strengths and talents that are unique to you? How many of you have weaknesses? Well the obvious answer is every body! I feel compelled to share with you something that I discovered several years ago that is a product of positive psychology. The valuable nugget of wisdom that I found was an assessment called the Clifton StrengthsFinders. The StrengthsFinders assessment is an incredible tool that will help you identify and assign a name to the talents that your creator instilled within you. It’s certainly altered my perception of who I am and how I should pursue my career. As a matter of fact the results of the assessment were so liberating that I now realize I should continue to develop my strengths and only devote the minimum amount of resources to bringing might weaknesses up to acceptable levels. The theory is that I can really excel at my strengths but I will never excel at my weaknesses. This is almost intuitive isn’t it? Let me explain further.
