When I facilitate strengths coaching and workshops I share this quote and the three stages of strengths transformation.
1. Strengths Appreciation
Can you imagine this discouraged fish struggling with strengths blindness and strengths envy. Like many of us we can’t see our own strengths genius and we value others talents more than our own. We focus on what’s wrong with us rather than what’s right with us.
The first stage of strengths transformation is to fully embrace who we are not and appreciate our strengths package.
2. Strengths Application
The school of life is where we gain knowledge, learn strategies and skills, then practice until a talent is transformed into an applied strength.
Einstein was a genius in the area of physics and specifically the theory of relativity however he had a weakness in social intelligence and relationships.
Individual Strengths coaching is the best way to take your intellectual understanding of strengths into a deep emotional application of strengths into your work, your relationships, your leadership-communication, and your entire life.
3. Strengths Aspirations
What are your burning aspirations? After getting clear on what you aspire to then you can point your strengths development in that direction. What do you aspire to?
Is it to be a thought leader? A novelist? Or maybe the best CEO of your own company.
When you deepen your strengths appreciation and strengths application, you will be able to swim faster and make the big leap into your aspirations.
