BLOG 092320: Quick Summary on Strengths

Quick Summary on Strengths

Here are the key ideas and takeaways of the last several blogs on the value of knowing your unique strengths and putting them to the highest use NOW!

  • Your talents were formed early in life... by about the time you were 15 years old
  • These talents are formed from the neural connections between your 100 billion neurons between your ears
  • Your talents are unique AND enduring
  • Talents become strengths through practice and acquiring knowledge and skills
  • Most people don't know what their strengths are because they're so close to them
  • Talent is defined as any recurring pattern of thinking, feeling, or behaving that can be productively applied
  • Strength is defined as any activity done consistently and near-perfect, and from which you derive intrinsic satisfaction
  • Weakness is defined as anything that gets in the way of excellent performance
  • There are FIVE creative strategies for managing around your weaknesses
    1. Get a little better at it
    2. Design a support system
    3. Use a strength to overwhelm your weakness
    4. Find a partner
    5. Just stop doing it (does anyone care???)
  • If you have the opportunity at work to do what you do best every day, you'll experience high levels of fulfillment and be very productive
  • Skills help you perform, but won't help you excel
  • Skill is a "survival technique," not a path to glory
  • The greatest room for growth is in the areas of your strengths, not weaknesses
  • You CAN'T be anything you want; even if you put your mind to it
  • The FOUR stages to full engagement - climbing the mountain.
